So yesterday, I had to go get a tooth pulled. I don’t know why Mom makes me get my teeth worked on when she avoids the dentist for herself like the plague, but whatever. She said my tooth was really, really bad, and that it could be infected, so out it comes. I was not happy when she dropped me off yesterday morning at the vet’s office – those guys are nice, but why did she leave me?

But it all turned out okay – they shot me up with something called Morphine, and wow, talk about a trip! I don’t think I came down from that until late last night…crazy stuff. I guess they had to cut one tooth into three parts, but it just fell out, and they pulled the one beside it for good measure. They were going to just toss those nasty teeth, but Mom saved them – for props for Halloween! Can you believe that? Humans are so weird…

The tech said I have weird teeth. I guess I’m supposed to have 6 teeth in front on the bottom, but I only have 4 (perfectly spaced, so they must have grown in that way). And I have a tooth that’s supposed to have two roots, but only has one. Huh. He said the ones he took out were really, really infected though, and said I would feel a lot better. That kinda scared Mom, since I wasn’t acting like I felt bad before. Just think of what I’ll get into while she’s at work now…

So now I have stitches in the back of my mouth, and painkillers and antibiotics twice a day. At least my food is already soft, but I can’t have ice cubes to chew on for a couple of days! That is so not cool - I need my ice fix!

Bah humbug…
