Poor thing looked like there was a chew in there!

Tell Hubby to quit spraying the nests during the day. You really should spray them at night so that most (if not all) of the wasps will be in the nest when he sprays.

While the say that only honey bees leave the sting, I think it may be possible for them to hybridize with wasps or something... DD was out picking choke cherries some years ago and had the dog with her when she disturbed a nest... big paper nest like hornets and aerial yellow jackets make. They looked like yellow jackets, but I removed several stings from both her and the dog.

For anyone getting stung, do not pull the stings with your fingers or tweezers. You need to scrape it off with something like your thumbnail or the edge of a knife. If you try to pull it off, the venom sac is still attached and you will squeeze more venom in.

Poor baby!

He is beautiful, tho. How about a full body photo, I would love to see all of him.

As far as the gas, what are you feeding him? Usually, it's not the meat, but the grains (corn/wheat) that give them gas. I switched all my dogs to a different grain free food - no more gas (unless they get cheese for treats) lol

With as many house dogs as I have, gas is NOT an option.

So we lived in Georgia for 3 years when my husband was stationed there and my beloved boston terrier didn't come in the house one day when he was called so i went into the yard and he was laying my the fence barely moving so I picked him up and got him inside and he was breathing funny and so i thought maybe he got over heated so I cooled him down gave him some benadryl and then noticed some bites on his mouth....so after checking for stingers I went to the fence and saw the fire ants poor guy must have been allergic we thougth we were going to loose him so when I woke up the next morning to him jumping on the bed i was so relieved

Here's a picture from almost two weeks ago...he went to the groomer for the first time. She said he did great!

He's really gotten much darker as he's gotten older.

Oh and the mark on his nose--he burned it on the wood stove.

It's almost healed up though.

He's so fluffy in that picture-but oh, his poor little burned nose, he must get up to a lot of mischief!

Awww!! Poor little guy!!
Our Chihuahua got stung by a bee a few years ago when she was just walking around in the yard! The bee stung her right on the bottom of the foot, her whole entire foot blew up! She was not a happy camper
