My little Pud
by Ginny Mavredes
On Monday morning I let both of my dogs out as usual.Our yard is large and neither ever wandered.Weedle the older dog always looked out for Pud the Dachshund.They were inseperable. I heard Pud yelp and when I got to her she was completely covered in a swarm of ground bees. I ran, trying to get her to run but she was insisting on trying to get in the door.I watched in horror as the ground bees repeatedly stung her.I tried to pick her up to run only to be stung numerous times myself.I was horified.I was able to get her to run around to where I could get the water hose and spray them off.But, by this time she had been severly stung and me too.I raced to the vet who gave her an injection but only weighing in at 14 lbs, by nightfall the venom was too much for her tiny body to bear. I have lost my best friend in the world.I only pray this tragedy never happens to anyone like it happened to me.I watched in horror and will never forget.God Bless you Bud I love you so much.
