OMG Kay no kidding, The bee sting thing happened to us with Nitro shortly before the Group one year ACK> I had him on the grooming table and he hated bees... sure enough he snapped at one, and the stinger was in his tongue! Some guy who saw me trying to get it out of his mouth rushed over to help...OOPS...well you remember how tough Nitro was, lol The gentleman left to change his underwear and I scraped the stinger out of Nitro's tongue. Fortunately I had Benadryl with me, and gave him a tablet YES ON THE TABLE OMG...LOL I am glad I had it then. Big ole ass, Nitro, hahahah.
