Wonder where that phrase came from? Why are dogs any sicker than any other critter?
Whatever… Came down with the flu yesterday afternoon and by evening had a nasty cough, sore throat, headache, and fever of 100 degrees. That’s high for me, because (being a dinosaur) my normal temperature is lower than most…it’s a fever of about three degrees, the equivalent of about 101 for real people.
Grand way to spend your birthday and vacation!

Happy Birthday.
And thanks for adding me to your blogroll.
Oh no! I often thought, at age 8, that “sick as a dog” was coined perfectly when my first pet became mysteriously ill. Cuddling his wee little chihuahua body, I thought he was the most pitiable sight in the world, forever and ever, amen.
Happy birthday and a speedy recovery to you!
