    A Texas nurse who has recovered from Ebola must wait to see her King Charles spaniel, Bentley. Nina Pham returned to Dallas late Friday after her release from the National Institutes of Health. She has repeatedly tested virus-free and said she was looking forward to see Bentley. Pham contracted Ebola while caring for a Liberian man Thomas Eric Duncan, who died October 8th. Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said Saturday the reunion will have to wait until the dog is released Nov. 1 from a quarantine period. Jenkins said officials must make sure the dog is virus-free and cannot infect others. Pham is now immune. Jenkins said veterinarians are concerned that if Pham visits the dog, it might affect Bentley's behavior and make it harder to monitor for potential symptoms. 
      I'm so pleased to hear that this woman is finally Ebola free and healthy.  Being a dog lover myself however I can only imagine how much she wants to see her dog.  Hopefully the dog didn't get the disease from her and the dog is also healthy.  Nina Pham must be wanting it to be November 1st very badly.  The poor spaniel Bentley must be so lonely in the quarantine at the vet. The reunion will be so heart warming.
