Hi everyone

As summer is not far away, I have a couple of concerns as a new dog owner. Tootsie LOVES sunshine and I have to 'rescue' her from sunstroke in spring as she just lies there and bakes and bakes!!!. He little tongue hangs out and she is panting frantically, but she won't get up and move to a shady spot. If she does this in summer when the sun is much hotter, should she have a sunscreen on her tummy ( she sometimes lies on her back) and a sunscreen spray on her hair? If so which ones are the best for her. Also, how long is too long to let her 'sunbathe' in summer?

My other concern is that Tootsy is fascinated by bees and gets right up to them sniffing them. I am worried that in summer she will get stung either on her nose or her tongue. How would I treat this? We also have wasps here in the summer and their sting is even more painful! She is very into 'wildlife' it seems, as she is fascinated by frogs, beetles fish etc etc, too!

I know I am being a 'worrywort' but I can't help myself!

Luv
