We have a new Basset puppy (10 weeks old - I need to post pics!) and last week she got stung by a scorpion in our house. We have killed 6 of them in the past week. It seems they are coming inside because of all the rain we have been having. Anyway, I had to rush her to the vet because she had a bad reaction to the sting. She ended up having three shots and put on antibiotics. I was SOOOOOO scared! My boys had just been running through the hallway in their barefeet right before she got stung.
So beware, the bugs aren't just outside!
