Still too damn much snow up here for decent walking in the marshes. Dogs found a deer head today that looked like it was dead for a couple of months, so that was fun. Hoping enough melting happens this week to get out in the marsh next weekend.

Dirk,
FWIW. I used to train my dogs as soon as snow went out as a rule of thumb. That is, until I had a 4yo female lab catch a terminal case of blastomycosis. Spores are extremely prevalent in northern Wi marshes right after snow melt.
It's a fungal disease that started in her nasal cavity and spread to lungs. She went from healthy as a horse to dead in 3 weeks even with agressive medication.
Please be careful..
Again fwiw...

Man that would be terrible. I haven’t run into anything like that thankfully.

Just curious if the lepto vaccine is part of your dogs vaccinations.
All of my dogs receive it.
Our Vet says Leptospirosis is becoming more common.

 

[ripline]

Yes, lepto vaccine is part of our dogs' vaccines around here.
