The Colonel's Ailment

In the first week of September of 2018 the Colonel came down with kennel cough after a feral dog made its way into his quarters at night and sneezed into his face. After dispatching it with the company harpoon, the Colonel went back to bed. After having SFC. N. Quinny dispose of the corpse in the morning, the Colonel fell ill. Company medic/veterinarian/mortician Cpl. Booker diagnosed the Colonel with kennel cough, an affliction usually associated with dogs, but due to the proximity of feral dog and man in Spagistan kennel cough has become zoonotic and can transfer between most mammals. He would recover after hours of blood-letting and sage smudging.
