Final Score: Mosquitoes 10, Benjamin 0

It seems our Benji is sweet meat for mosquitoes. Unfortunately, they are drawn to him like moths to a flame, but Benji Boy’s the one who gets burned. Before going outside, we coated his body everywhere with insect repellent except for his face. Regrettably those blood-suckers zeroed in on his one unprotected area. When we noticed several bites swelling on his face and neck we rushed him inside and treated all the areas with ammonia except around his right eye. By the next morning, the eye had swollen shut. The poor little fellow looked like a Mike Tyson victim. We treated him with Benadryl and the swelling was gone the next day.
