When Rod was just a young pup, he gave me a bit of a scare. I was hanging out around the house when I noticed a trail of blood leading to Rod, and he seemed distressed about something on his face. I could tell his mouth was bloody and drool was coming out. I of course panicked and went to see what was wrong.
When I got to him, I realized he was just going through what we all go through at a young age: losing our baby teeth! In this particular instance, his tooth was quite loose and was hanging out of his mouth at a perfect right angle. He did not like that nor did he appreciate my attention to his mouth.
After that, he lost all his baby teeth in private and I kept finding them around the house.
And for a while, his mouth looked like this:
But now he has this lovely set of chompers!
He still does not appreciate his mouth being touched.
Oh how I love this. Let me list the ways...
ReplyDelete1) your pony tail
2) "OF COURSE I panicked" as if this panic over a dog is completely natural and expected...which is it. completely.
3) this is the first close up I've seen of your ring and it's beautiful! (off topic, I know, but a girl never tires of hearing it)
4) the tooth has a face
5) that look in his eyes in the last picture says he is BARELY tolerating you!
fantastic. :)
Too cute!
ReplyDeleteWe had Milly and Shelby's teeth removed when they were fixed, but their other teeth were coming in and it was a mess. They did lose a few teeth before that but I never saw them lose them, just found them around the house. They also HATE for me to touch their mouths, which is too bad because their breath is AWFUL.
