"Repeat after me, I won't eat bees"

I used to have terrier mutt that couldn’t resist sticking her nose in every hole in the ground. One day, she came home with her face twice as swollen as this dog’s. She couldn’t hold her head up or even open her eyes. We were so afraid she would die!! But the vet just gave her antihistamine and said she would sleep it off. And sure enough, she was fine. A few months later, she has a clear snake bite on her nose, but doesn’t swell quite so much. She slept it off. Third time, she hardly swells at all. I guess eventually she became immune.
It’s been seven years since we lost Apple, and now I realize just how many snakes we have. She really took care of the creature population. Miss her; she was good dog. I guess they all are...
