Why dogs shouldn't eat bees

I took the dogs for a walk today, on our way back a bee flew in front of us and *snap* Nebo made a meal out of it. :rolleyes: The bee had its revenge and stung the inside of his upper lip. Now he looks like this:

He's been stung before, he always swells up, but nothing else has ever happened. I'm just keeping an eye on him, hopefully the swelling will be gone by morning. He acts fine, he ate his dinner and has been playing with Keva.

Do you think the poor guy has learned his lesson that bees are not edible? Not likely...

Awww, poor Nebo. Nebo dear....bee's do NOT taste like honey.

Nebooooo...no more bees! Sherman tries to catch them, but so far has only been stung from stepping on one. I'm going to post your picture for him to see. *kisses Bebo's nose* Hope you feel better soon, sweetie!

aawwww poor NEBO!!
give him a gentle kiss from me!

No, they never seem to learn! :rolleyes:

First Shepherd Casey (RB :( ) was an Award-Winning Bee *Snapper* from
puppy-hood!
She'd *stalk* one, bob & weave to get her distance just right, then
*lunge* and **ker-SNAPP**, followed by a rather un-lady-like *pa-TOOIE*
as the recently deceased Bee, Wasp, Hornet, or Fly bit the dust. ;)

She must have wiped out hundreds of winged-critters in her lifetime; and
suffered very few retaliations by her victims.
But I could always tell when she ran into a "tuff one" ... instead of the normal
"single" *ker-SNAPP* ...
there'd be a machine-gun style rapid fire *SNAPPIN*, and she'd have her lips
curled up as far as they'd go into a SUPER-smile. :eek:

If she *Yipped* in the process - she got nailed ... and would make certain
she gave the offending beast a second or third *CHOMP* to make sure.

She did develop Chipmunk Cheeks on occasion, just like Nebo.
She managed a "sour look" very similar to Nebo's!

;)

Oh silly Nebo!

He'll just love it here then, we have lots of bees in our garden. :rolleyes: :p

Poor Nebo. I doubt it will teach him not to mess with bees though. ;) Lacey got stung on her paw by a bee last summer, she was limping for a few days. Layla, I do believe will have a few encounters with bees this summer.I do have benadryl in the cupboard. :rolleyes:

Awwwwwwww!!!! Poor Nebo!! You curious guy you. Hope your lip gets better buddy :( No more bees please!!

Poor Nebo! :( No more bees for you, sweetie! hope you feel better soon, Nebo! ((Nebo))

Oh Nebo, did you at least ENJOY it?

As a kid, my dog Princess loved bumble bees. She tried yellow jackets, which we had a lot as we had apple trees. (The yellow jackets come after the dropped apples.) She learned to pass them up for the fat juicy bumble bees, he he!

Oh! Silly, silly Nebo! Poor baby... that must've really hurt! Ouch!

Oh silly Bebo... will you pups EVER learn??
soft kisses to you and your chipmunk cheek!!

NO MORE BEES YOUNG MAN!!

Poor Nebo, I hope he feels better soon.

Awww poor Nebo. Leave the bees alone silly pup!

:( Awee poor baby.. I hope your ok Nebo.. No more bees ok..
