Cassie and the bumble bee

The weather has been nice and warm lately so Cassie and Zorro have been spending lots of time outside.
When I was taking Zorro out I noticed a bumble bee on the front steps that was flopping around.
Cassie likes snapping at flies and other bugs so I think she snapped at and "caught " the bumble bee.
I killed it since she was trying to get at it still, silly girl! Bees are something not to snap at!
I gave her a Benadryl pill in case she had an allergic reaction but thank goodness she didn't.
I also called the Vet office to ask about any other signs to watch for that she was allergic.
Sometimes Cassie's curiousity gets the best of her!

Zorro and his cone collar

Poor little Zorro!
He still has to wear his cone collar because he itches and chews on the area. 
I talked to his Vet and told him I think he's allergic to his special food for his kindey disease.
He is back on his old food for one month to see if the itching and chewing stop. Furmom does take the "cone of shame" (I think that was from the movie UP! wasn't it?) off so he can eat and drink. If it's left off too long though he starts itching and chewing right away. Cassie poked her head in the cone to check on him but got scared and backed away! Silly girl! Hopefully soon the cone can come off for good!
