She didn't even know what hit her..

Sophie is very curious and thinks that every living creature is alive for her to play with. I had found a couple bees today crawling around in search for warmth. I got rid of them and didn't think much of it. Of course, Sophie saw a bee crawling along the door jam, and was extremely curious. I look over to her snififng around near the sliding glass door, at this point I wasn't really paying attention. Next think I know my dog is freaking out, pawing at her nose and then there is a bee flung to the kitchen floor.
Looking back on it, I have to say the look on her face was so sad. I wasn't sure what was happening at the time. Looking back, it was as if the instant she was stung- she just looked at her nose, startled, as if to say "hey!! that hurt!" and then began pawing at her face. I realized what was going on as soon as I saw the bee.
I couldn't find the stinger. Of course I found and disposed of the bee. Her left top lip is a bit swollen and warm. She let me put a cool rag on it for awhile. No signs of facial swelling.

Poor girl is pretty sad, I am sure it hurts. Needless to say, she won't go near the door jam of the sliding glass door!

Oh poor Sophie!!!!

I am so sorry that happened. I bet she will be cautious to put her nose in anything for awhile!

Sorry to hear Sophie got stung, at least she is not showing an allerigic reaction to the sting. Hope her lip is better soon.

Poor little Sophie! Its so sad when they just don't understand when things like this happen. Hope she feels better soon!
