A friend of mine has a big black poodle. Last spring break, he left the dog at my house and I took care of it for a few days. The day before my friend was about to come back, I gave the dog a bath in the backyard. Just after the bath, maybe it was because of the shampoo lotion, a large swarm of bees came from nowhere and immediately surrounded the dog. I went to rescue, and the bees also surrounded me, so I and The dog ran away together, but the bees refused to let us go. The bees stung the dog so densely that I tried my best to knock the bees off it with a book in my hand, and at the same time hit the book on me. I finally took off my clothes and used them as weapons. The clothes were flying in the air. The dog and I ran in circles in the backyard desperately, and the bees chased us. In this way, the dog, the bees, and I staged a chase in the backyard.

Seeing that there are more and more bees, after taking off the clothes, there is no protection on the body. If some important parts of the body or lower body are injured, the consequences are unimaginable. It seems that circling in the backyard at high speed is not an option. I wanted to jump into the swimming pool, but the fence door of the swimming pool could not be opened at the critical moment for some reason, so I ran into the house with the dog. Of course, many bees followed them without hesitation, and many were shut out because they followed so many. Bee, the dog and I continued to run wild around the house again. Let's escape to a bathroom first, At that time, I wanted to jump into the bathtub with the dog so that I could use the shower to drive away the bees, but it took a few seconds to turn on the shower. I was worried that the bees would have a chance to bite me while the water was boiling, so I escaped from the bathroom without turning on the water, but somehow escaped to another bathroom, escaped again, and escaped to the living room again. In the process of escaping, I also killed many bees with the weapons in my hands. In the end, the bees were probably stunned by us. They were dead and fled. Many of them stopped on the glass windows and waited for me to kill them one by one with insecticidal spray. After half an hour of escaping and fighting back, the dog and I finally won.

So I started to clean up the battlefield and check our injuries. Since I didn't feel any pain, everything seemed to be fine. What a blessing! But it is difficult to check whether the dog has been bitten, but it looks fine. I searched for a long time on its head and body but could not find any red spots or traces of bites. It seems that the dog is also intact. I waited another hour and then looked around to see if there was any inflammation, and luckily everything was fine. However, when I opened the door to the backyard and asked the dog if he wanted to go out, he remained motionless, with his tail tucked up, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes. It seemed that he had thought of the scene just now and was scared. Maybe it is necessary to find a psychiatrist to give him and me some psychological training, so that he will have the courage to face the backyard in the future. However, human psychiatrists are easy to find, but I don’t know if there are any dog ​​psychiatrists. It would be better if you can find a psychiatrist who can see both people and dogs. Maybe the outpatient fee can be discounted or buy one get one free.

Now that I think about it, this dog is so smart. During the escape, it never left me for a step. It always ran with me in a tacit understanding. It knew that it was right to follow me. Although it usually doesn't listen well when I give it instructions, it doesn't need any instructions when its life is in danger. In addition, I also admire the fur and skin on its body. If it weren't for the thick curly hair and skin, it might have been in the emergency room on an intravenous drip. How wonderful it is that God created man-made creatures!

Through this escape, I met a trustworthy dog ​​comrade. Yesterday, my friend took the dog back. When we left, the dog seemed a little reluctant to leave. It seemed that it regarded me as its reliable comrade. Fortunately, it no longer has to be afraid of seeing my backyard every day. When I wake up every morning, I see the backyard as soon as I open my eyes. I immediately think of the terrible scene of being chased by bees. It seems that it will take some time to eliminate the fear of bees and the backyard in my heart.

Later I told this story to another friend. He learned that I used human shampoo to bathe the dog, and he kept asking me what brand of shampoo I used. This would attract bees and butterflies, but I couldn't remember it, so he decided to wash his own hair and never use shampoo again.

Dog owners, beware of bees when bathing your dog in the backyard. Even if you don't own a dog, if you wash your head with too fragrant shampoo, you'd better wear a hat when you go out to avoid attracting bees and butterflies. If bees come, you don't have a dog comrade to fight alongside you and divert the bees' attention.
