Well, it's happened. The precious twinfant I posted about just yesterday got stung...by a SCORPION!!!Yes. You read that right. I know. It's January. I know. I thought scorpions went away during the winter too, but there she was...being a puppy crawling around on the floor and she put her little finger down right in it's path. It lurked just under the couch and she popped up and tried to be such a big girl. We didn't quite know what happened at first. I thought a staple or something had been poking out of the couch and maybe had caught her finger. But she was crying too hard.All in one sentence she said, "It bit me. It electrocuted me. It STUNG me!!" PB rushed over and pulled up the couch and there it sat. I can't be funny and make jokes about what the scorpion would've said because it broke my heart. And she said through her tears, "I TOLD you I didn't want to move to Awizona!!" We washed her little finger and PB tried sucking some of the venom out per the internet instructions on what to do if you're stung by a scorpion. I dosed her up with Benadryl and Ibuprofen and stuck her in bed with me and watched her sleep all night. And felt guilty for making her move to Awizona where scorpions ruin a perfectly good game of puppies.
