I just let Bella inside from one of her early morning outties. It was about 7:30AM and the outside temp is around 55 degrees. I had a crumpled up piece of paper in my hand, as I walked to the door to let her in, that I was about to throw in the trash can. As she walked past me I noticed something black in her fur by her ear. It was a black bumble bee!!!! It was walking toward the underside of her ear (thank God I saw it before it got there or I would have never noticed it). I quickly took my crumpled up piece of paper and managed, after several tries, to flick the bee onto the floor where I promptly stomped on it. Whew! I am just amazed that something like this occurred at this time of year and at this time of the morning. I would have expected it on a mid-summer afternoon.

This is probably a silly thread, but this episode sure jump-started my day!
