Actually the bottom line of #829 mentions that the surgery is to extract all of the baby teeth which are running right next to the adult teeth. But the canines are askew since there was not enough room for two sets of teeth. In order to straighten then, since they are pointed sideways, is to do the braces a few weeks after the operation.
Fidel loves long beef tendons which are rolled into a pinwheel ... they are called "Paddywacks" (they also have Nicknacks). He chews on them all day while I am at work to keep him busy ... and yes, calm. :-D
Oh, she is.. and vain. The most vain dog I have ever seen.
She loves to be cooed to and told she's a "beauty dog" (LOL! I swear!)
She visibly preens, puffs up and sticks her chin in the air.
And she sings.
The perfect pet.
