Yesterday I was pulling weeds in the yard, Mai was swimming, and Hermes was just being Hermes. He came and sat down by me and I reached down to love on him. When I started rubbing his lips, they felt weird. He usually has really floppy lips but they felt really tight. With in five minutes, his lips were so swollen, they barely covered his teeth. His eyes were so swollen he couldn't open them! I had to run him straight to the Urgent Care for Pets (which I didn't even know they had Urgent Care for Pets, but they do!). Apparently, he was bit by a spider or stung by a hornet. It scared the heck out of me! They gave him benadryl shots and a steroid.

Poor Hermes! Are there a lot of hornets this year? We sure had a lot last year and sprayed and sprayed. Hope things are okay!
