His vet said the fungus came from the wet soil that Henry hunted in.
His dear vet gave me for a replacement a three-legged black and tan coonhound who needed a home. She is a sweetie. Her name is Leila.
Thank you for taking in Leila, and my condolences on your loss of Henry. I hope there is a special place in Heaven for people like you.
I'm sorry to hear about your Henry; it is so sad to lose a loved pet. Some people have said that if you bury human hair clippings where dogs dig they won't dig there anymore. I've never tried it but buried rocks instead. Seemed to keep my daughter's little dog in the yard - guess she didn't like scratching her claws on them. Good luck with your new little buddy.
