Today I picked up the three dogs I had taken in to the Whitefield vet clinic yesterday for regularly scheduled dentals — blind Widget, blind Madison and Dexter T. Dickens. Long-time blog readers may recall that Dexter had needed emergency oral surgery in California in late 2008 before we could bring him out to the ranch, and among the many teeth he had removed then was his upper right canine. He had more teeth removed during his dental last year in Montana. And two more teeth are gone as a result of his latest dental here, including his upper left canine. (He's now left teeth behind in three states — literally from coast to coast — perhaps the first dog with that distinction. Hmm.)
Since he first arrived, he had sported an endearing "snaggle-toothed" look on one side of his mouth — you can see it in the photos on that original blog post — but now he's got a double snaggle-tooth expression. So it's twice as endearing!
I was going to use a different headline for this post, but then I looked again at the photo we took this afternoon and realized he really did look like a little old fella who'd misplaced his dentures!
