Well, we've had our baby three weeks and have already had a run to the ER last night...

She discovered a fallen bee in the garden. Luckily it got her foot and not her face. I was concerned about weight vs dosage (she's 5 pounds) so off to te ER we went.

Two shots later all is well. What surprised me is how they found the stinger under all the curly hair! They showed it to us on a gauze. We were shocked. They said they get at least 2 bee stings a night. Sure enough - less than 5 minutes later here comes a beagle with a large, swollen face... poor little guy.

The shots made her sleepy and we got rare full night's sleep.

So, no bad stuff to report. Just our first scare.
