Last summer was Cody's first summer with me (he's adopted) we are in the yard, he has decided he needs his privacy for potty time so I have to stand 10 feet away from him. I see him sniffing and sniffing the ground, I start to walk over to see what has caught his attention, he sees me coming and snatches up what he was sniffing. I had to rip his mouth open and out fell a yellow jacket as big as a killer bee. Thank god he didn't get stung. Need I say he lost his potty privacy, I am always 3 feet away from him now, the yard and being loose out doors is still new to him, he was a city boy, now is has to get use to being a country boy, this was his 2nd summer in the yard, I am praying he will get use to crawling, hoping, fluttering insects and will leave them alone. Last year we were on the deck, he was on my lap, a spider dropped on my leg, before I could smash it Cody went to eat it lol, but I got to it first. Now before he is allowed in the yard I check for frogs, bees and wasp as bees and wasp dig holes in the earth and bury them selves in these holes, so I make sure there are none in the yard before I let wild child out. I also check to make sure no critter has dug a hole under the fencing where Cody can get out. One must stay vigilant with these little rascals.
