Stomach Virus in full force

Last week my dog was sick with all the symptoms of the stomach virus, is it possible for a dog to have it? Then our stepson, who didn't tell us until today. Today my son woke up sick as a dog & had to reschedule finals for Thursday. About two hours ago my lil DivaLICIOUS got sick all over my carpet in family room. UGH I read post on FB about the domino affect in everyones household & I would say thank God that never happens in our house, WELL I spoke too soon. Let's hope that my hubby & I stay clear of it.
