<DIV>We have ALL three of these nasty pests here in the southwest Idaho. I
haven't had a lot of problems with them where my hounds are concerned but I did
have one boy that required surgery to remove a saliva gland in his
neck after he swallowed a wasp live and it stung him from the inside
of his throat. Poor Harley had a tough time and when they did the surgery we
prayed they'd find the right salive gland and not have to do it over again. They
did and he healed up fine but didn't learn from his experience. In fact, he
seemed even more intent on snatching the buzzy little monsters when they came
close than ever. I had to keep him indoors most of the time during wasp/hornet
season. I had to help Harley to the bridge at age 11 1/2 and I was devastated.
He was a champion when I rescued him from an abusive home. He learned to trust
me and that I would never put him in harms way. I miss him dearly to this day.
He was a very special boy.</DIV>

<DIV>Drool to all in need. And we are all soooooo happy to hear that Brudder
Elwood is on the mend and back home again.</DIV>
