A Wasp Granted Her Gravy Bones

Odd title, eh? Well, not when you hear about poor Ethel!

For a while now, Ethel has been incredibly interested in the comings and goings of our painful friends, the wasps; especially when they make their way into our house (argh). For months, she's been googling at them, buzzing around, head butting our living room window, unable to make an escape. Oh, and... hoping to get a bite. Ouch.

Well, as hard as we tried to halt her dangerous behaviour, it came to no avail. Because only a couple of evenings ago, following a long day at work and school, Ethel was stung. On her bottom lip. By a wasp. And it lived through loosing its sting. Once I'd located the wasp sting lodged into her bottom lip, making her feel wobbly and uneasy with an incredibly rapid heartbeat, we found the culprit wasp. For evidence, we scooped the wasp into a jar, and rushed Ethel up to the vets.

And yes, the vets did manage to pull the sting out of Ethel's bottom lip, and prescribed her with some antihistamines just in case. However, when we first arrived at the vets, I was a little worried as to how any vet could calm my crazy girl down. She was going BONKERS to be there. But no, they managed to calm her down, miraculously... She recovered well, and, luckily, didn't have any funny reactions.

Oh, and guess what else?!

THE VET GAVE HER GRAVY BONES!
