Aspen the Yorkie

I just wanted to let you know that two more pages were added to the “pages” section of the blog today (see the list of pages to the right)….one about aging pets, and another with the start of a list of food recalls, food warnings, and foods that are not dangerous for you, but may be dangerous for me.

Hope you had a great weekend, my family was out a lot at church and visiting family, I missed them.

What a long day it’s been. It started at about 7 am this morning, my owner is never up very early, but today she was! She came and put my harness on me and I thought we were on our way to a fun adventure, but it didn’t take long for me to figure out the route we were driving was to the vet.

When I got there, a lady talked to my owner about my teeth, she told her that some of my teeth had already fallen out. My owner felt bad, and said that she had dogs when she was young and they never had their teeth cleaned, I guess they were pretty big dogs.

I don’t remember a lot after that, I was in a cage, and sleepy, then woke up feeling drugged…when it was time to go home, the technician talked to my owner again, and showed her how many teeth had already fallen out, and how many were pulled. She’s too embarrassed to type how many.

I’ve been whining ever since I got home…heard the owner call the vet to see if it was pain…guess they decided it isn’t, I just really feel weird. Now it’s late, and I’ve quieted down, ate some soft food for dinner, drank a lot of water, and even got my usual treat, but they made it soft. I think I’m going to have to eat soft food from how on.

If you’re a little dog, make sure you keep up with your dentals, and clean your dogs teeth.

We did find a great instructional publication that we wish we had a long time ago, you can download it, and it helps with grooming and teeth cleaning…it is VERY detailed, and costs so much less than a grooming…under $20 right now. You can Click here for more information. We were impressed.
