Here's another video from a trip report that was shared a little while back. 

Elo had gotten sick for a few weeks and we needed to cancel two back-to-back canoe trips. After the vet finally gave us the green light to go camping, I didn't want to risk bringing her into the backcountry, and coincidentally someone in the Algonquin Park Facebook group was cancelling their reservation at Rock Lake Campground... so I did something completely new to me and went car camping.

This trip was September 30th - October 2nd, 2022. We went back a few days later and stayed at a different campsite at Rock Lake (that video will be ready soon).

Thanks for the last couple of TRs Cody. Nice to be able to see the unfrozen water as I'm making bookings for the summer. Your trip with Elo reminded me of something I was going to mention to dog owners. Last summer our dog caught kennel cough and vet felt it was most likely tied to an access point we used in Killarney. We don't come into contact with many dogs around our home in the country and those we knew did not have a cough. Our vet who is also a camper was telling us this was fairly common and since we couldn't really think of any other exposure we figure the access point may be the cause. Nothing too serious to worry about, it can be treated and it was mostly just surprising to hear our dog with a whooping cough. I think in cities vets also recommend a preventative shot.

Sorry to hear that about your pup. Catching kennel cough at an access point seems very unlikely unless you're letting your dog play with other dogs. It sounds like you got really unlucky unfortunately. But good to hear it wasn't anything too serious.

That was part of the mystery, we'd been camping for a week and hadn't interacted with other dogs that we could recall. Vet was suggesting the pathogens could last for while in the tall grasses around a busy access and certainly our dog was checking out pretty much every blade of grass and stick he could reach. Not much to be done about it, just passing along the anecdote in the event it solves the puzzle for someone else.
