[nagdu] confirm cases of dogs getting swine flu from humans

[Steve Johnson]

Just to chime in quickly, there was a confirmed case in Iowa back in 
November of a cat that contracted H1N1, but also 2 ferrets who did not 
survive.  Here is a little more on this from Nov. 5 as I had just looked it 
up.  It was a little concerning as this occurred not too far down the might 
Misses-sloppy from where I live here in Wisconsin.
