: Happy New Year to everyone!!! Thank you all so much for all your wonderful help this year.

: My question is a simple one. I have beeen sick on and off for the last month with a cold, the flu and all the wonderful symptoms that come with them. My pup sleeps with me all the time and is always giving kisses. Do I have to worry that he'll get sick too? I didn't think sickness could be transferred from human to pet but I thought I'd check to be sure.

: My pup has shown no signs of being sick but they are pretty tough little guys.

Hi Jonna,

Happy New Year to you! Sorry to hear you've been under the weather but I imagine your little, four-legged heating blanket has helped keep your spirits up! No, you don't have to worry about your pup catching your cold or flu; these "germs" will not transfer to him.

Hope you feel better soon. :-)
