We have had a drab summer with little sun. The Plumerias are starting to open, little more sun and we could really put on a colorful show in our backyard!

The funniest shot of Asta, so I had to post it.

A little fun in the backyard, pleasure or pain? You decide...

Harley helping in the garden... We found a bumble bee in the canna's, I hope Harley has learned his lesson with bees.

And now something not puppy related...
Our ginger finally flowered. It's not open yet, this seems to be the outer shell.

So what more could a cute little puppy have for over half his life other than kennel cough and pneumonia Why a Bee Sting of course. I called a 24 hour vet hospital because he can't play with bee's during regular visiting hours and she said to watch him for swelling. She referred the amount of swelling to look like a shar pei.
Lucky for me Asta has allergies (sorry Asta, not so lucky for you) He shared one of his puppy benedryl's with us. I did take this photo, you probably can't make out the swelling, will keep you informed if he does indeed turn into a shar pei over night, we are still wondering what the other half breed he has I guess that will do.
Norma helped me take out the stinger, she held him while I yanked the sucker out.
p.s. He normally doesn't have the collagen lip.
