Can i get a sunburn in October in Texas?

i'm betting yes.

in other news, to treat a dog for an insect sting or bite, my options include:

Bathing the area in a baking soda / water solution (for bee stings)
Or vinegar (for wasp stings)
Or epsom salts
Baby Benadryl
Aloe vera
Ice to reduce swelling
Some people reccomend Calamine lotion and i think we will end up trying that later.
wet teabag or cucumber
Eucalyptus oil
Clay or mud paste
just for kicks, spray-on antibiotic, dabbed on with a Kleenex

the dog number 1 usually has a very elegant nose. Now it is all bumbly. it hurts a bit, or anyway she doesn't like us to poke at it, but she's been scratching it quite a bit. The calamine lotion will look very, very funny on her nose (and, just out of curiosity, whose skin is really that color? how is that awful pink "tone-neutral"?) and hopefully she won't be able to lick off the entire area.
