Ella is doing fine (regarding the bee sting anyway) the swelling went down quite a bit and she's no longer limping.

Nettles.. Ella frequently runs into them but it's like she's got iron skin! lol.

Good news
Some dogs don't seem to be effected by nettles Happened with mine that one time but have heard of others,so they can definitely get stung by them.

So I was a bit of a dope laying down all those newspapers over my understudy's grass last year!

Oh well wasn't the first time I've made a complete EEJIT of meself on account of a mutt!

Ahh poor Ella, this is the first year Oscar has not been stung he usually gets stung a couple of times a year thank got he has never had any reactions he won't let us near him when he has been stung to get the sting out but we do keep our eyes on him and stings seem to go within a few hours. Nettles, he'll cock his leg on nettles no reaction but if he walks on them we have the limps for a few hours so we do try to avoid them, he's worse than a child.
