    Why dogs shouldn't eat bees (again, page 3)

    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. The bee had its revenge and stung the inside of his upper lip. Now he looks like this:

    Normal side

    Chipmunk cheek side

    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.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    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!

    Not likely...
    No, they never seem to learn!

    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.

    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!

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

    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.

    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!
