Bayne went into the neighbors yard and ran through their sprinkler and was having a great time biting the water and getting soaking wet. Bryan (hubby) went over to get him away put his leash on and was about to walk away when suddenly he started swatting and yelling that there were bees all over them, then Bayne was on the ground pawing at his face. We ran home, grabbed the hose and started hosing Bayne down and rubbing him looking for bees, they had burrowed into his fur. There were quite a few of them, I'm so glad that Bayne's fur is thin and flat, if he was thicker then we would have had a hard time finding them and he was not staying still for us to find them. Finally I got him into the house to dry off and keep and eye on him, he suddenly got so mellow almost dazed like. He started shaking his head, I thought maybe a bee had crawled into his ear and started looking, he wasn't letting me touch that ear. So I called for hubby again to help me to check his ear and area. We got Bayne on the kitchen floor and to stop him fidgeting I gave him belly rubs while Bryan looked closer and finally found a spot with a stinger, we were trying to figure out the best way to get that thing out and I was trying to remember what we were supposed to do, not squeeze it out, not pull it out, didn't want to squeeze the poison into Bayne. We finally got the stinger out, I got Bayne up on the chair so I could go over his head and neck again with the brush, he had a couple of little mats under his ears so I cut them off with the scissors he was being so cooperative... WOW. I let him off the chair to watch him then he ran over to his ball and was all perky again. I fed him his supper and then he started licking his left paw and area, a bite of supper then a lick, another bite another lick. Strange, so we looked again at his paw and couldn't see anything. About an hour later I noticed him limping a little and then sitting holding his paw up. I called him over to me and asked for his paw and he gave me his sore one first so I looked it over, then hubby looked it over and can't see a thing.
He's sleeping now so we'll see how he is tomorrow. What an experience, a hornets nest in the ground at the neighbors.
