After rolling around in the dirt and grass Oshie developed an itch. Now that I think about it the fire ants could have been the culprit. With the warm weather we have had lately they have come our of their slumber and are everywhere in our yard. I don’t think that was the case though because I didn’t see any on him and he hasn’t scratched at the same area again. If you have ever been fortunate enough to experience the bite and sting of a fire ant…well then you know how itchy it is.
Enjoy this short series of shots of Oshie mid itch. I recently upgraded my camera to a Canon 7D Mkii and have been experimenting with the amazing 10 frames per second it is capable of shooting. My last camera (Canon T5)was maybe 3 frames per second. This is will be excellent for capturing action shots of Oshie to share on the blog! Enough rambling about Cameras, here’s Oshie!

I agree with you…how can that not hurt! My Tippy has grass allergies, so, in the summer, I give her a daily Benadryl and that seems to keep the rash at bay.

Luckily Oshie hasn’t had any issues yet. There was one time last summer or even longer ago where he woke us up in the middle of the night and his snout was so swollen he looked like a chow chow. A vet visit, some antibiotics, benadryl and steroids later and all was well. I think he either was stung by a bee, bitten by a fire ant or bitten by a spider.

That does sound like a bite of some sort. Tippy got stung by some wasps that had made a nest above the door to her dog house last summer. Fortunately, it didn’t require a trip to the vet, but her little nose had whelps and was bleeding in a couple of places.

Yeah. Luckily it wasn’t worse. Poor Tippy. I hate wasps.
