Emmy is long forgotten. Long live Sascha. Sascha is a Pomeranian, just over 6 months old, her birthday was January 22, 2008. She's a sweatheart and a monster at the same time, just like all puppies. Now we have three dogs, Chauncy, Hollie and Sascha. Hollie is a white Pomeranianm, Sascha is red and black Pom, while Chauncey is a black Schipperke mix (we think). More about Chauncey in a moment.



I stumbled into a yellow jacket hive a few days ago. There were some bees in a garden barrow next to the side door on my house. I lifted a booklet laying on it and the yellow jackets shot up in a column then swarmed me like a fat family at a free buffet.

I've about 20 stings on me. A bunch of stings on my left arm, a few on my right arm, one on my left ear, two or three on my left foot, one pretty much in my left armpit (that one must have happened while I was flailing), a couple on my right shoulder and one on my right upper butt cheek. I ran down the street past 4 houses before they stopped chasing me. I was wearing corduroys and there must have been 30 bees fighting to get though them (one did). There was also a bunch in my hair which was kinda unruly since I had drove home with the windows down. That was gross pulling bees from my hair.

I wonder what people driving by thought when they saw me hightailing down the street jumping up and down waving my arms about. "Hey honey, you should have seen what I saw on they way home!"

The first night they hurt all night, but by now they just really itch. My ear is driving me nuts.
