[nagdu] Canine flu vaccine

[Deanna Lewis]

Hi Tracy,
When I took Mr. Pascal to the vet in December, I got him the Canine Flu
vaccine. I thought it would be beneficial as he is in contact with other
dogs at NFB meetings, and conventions. And also, since we occasionally
volunteer for the SPCA. Take care.
