When I grew up on a farm, our dogs never came in the house, they lived in the barn with the cows. <br /><br />When I was in high school, we finally got an inside dog and we never gave it dog food. He lived off table scraps too. And he lived to be almost 20. <br /><br />Now, we take Socks to the vet for shots and check ups. We don't brush his teeth yet, though. I imagine that is next.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758315312808346503.post-89023813655741387652009-06-04T09:56:24.063-04:002009-06-04T09:56:24.063-04:00((Grinning from ear to ear))..Oh, I so identified ...((Grinning from ear to ear))..Oh, I so identified with this post! I have a 14 yr. old Lhasa Apso, and he thinks that the vet is the executioner! I, too, almost fainted at the price of "teeth cleaning"!

They had to wear those think leather gloves and usually ended having to sedate her.

Vet alway...well, I fall into the first description.<br />Vet always looks at us in amazement when we bring in a sick dog and he asks, whatever happened to Tug? or Max?<br />Oh. They're back at the house.<br />?<br /><br />Then again, now the days are out here. 15 year old Belgium Shepherd (close to a German Shepherd, but with HUGE ears)walked in out of the corn fields one day.... 15 year old bull, dropped off at a local park....terrier somewhere around 16-17. Third owner said she'de take it to the pound. Have it put to sleep. I took the dog. Now it's ten years down the road. <br /><br />But, oh golly!<br />Like pill heaven around here, now.<br />Aspirins for the big boys, some kind of pill grouping for Gni Gni because of her cancer (she's still in charge, too. No slowing down here, though when I took her to the vet last, he said it could be any time.<br /><br />Dang!<br /><br />Guess I'll just have to throw an extra piece of chicken in her chow.<br />Again.<br /><br />So, it sounds like you already know the answer to your bone delemna....<br />they still sell them at groceries.<br />It's a shame, really, but one day, butchers everywhere suddenly realized that people BUY dog bones!<br />And, I think there wouldn't be much whining or fussing other than....keep'a you fingers'a off'a d'bone!<br /><br />d=))bonemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10484125049735629611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758315312808346503.post-61189953863634554662009-06-02T13:54:09.977-04:002009-06-02T13:54:09.977-04:00Our beagle, Arlo, was the same with dog biscuits (...Our beagle, Arlo, was the same with dog biscuits (bones). He'd trot through the house whimpering and whining, "What to do? What to do?" One time he solved the problem by lining his biscuit up with a pair of 5-pound dumbbells in the bedroom.Forsythiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842925744413303224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758315312808346503.post-30321913887553253162009-06-02T09:47:08.925-04:002009-06-02T09:47:08.925-04:00Well at least she submits to having her teeth brus...Well at least she submits to having her teeth brushed. Bitsy just keeps licking the brush and trying to chew it. Thankfully she loves to gnaw on bones though. She sometmes does that weird whining thing at it though - I wonder why they do that?fiwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816465372283594972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758315312808346503.post-13314502224253274382009-06-02T09:19:22.407-04:002009-06-02T09:19:22.407-04:00That was so funny and so true!

Cavuto has some pretty damn yellow teeth going on for such a young cat but even I have my limits.I refuse to wrestle down a cat and brush his damn teeth. <br /><br />They can fall out when he's old like those of his ancestors. I'll feed him soft food then. <br /><br />Your doggy is adorable!Smochahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04604417561056157219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758315312808346503.post-10776975945382627142009-06-02T08:31:05.318-04:002009-06-02T08:31:05.318-04:00So true - you've stated it perfectly and had me la...So true - you've stated it perfectly and had me laughing out loud!<br /><br />I used to brush my dog Sam's teeth too and she also liked it!!happyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186179870233267082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758315312808346503.post-89670916217455339042009-06-02T08:26:49.920-04:002009-06-02T08:26:49.920-04:00your dog and my dog, sushi, would get along perfec...your dog and my dog, sushi, would get along perfectly...with their issues. ahh. but , ya gotta love em.<br />vets always push the teeth cleaning. i always pass. if they could do it for a few bucks i would maybe have no problem. but-- if you would believe it-- one of mine and hubbies first arguments in our marriage was because he paid over 80.00 to have his dogs teeth cleaned. ugh. a rotti-- so of course he was put to sleep. well, he was already put to sleep anyhow -- to remove a rib bone that was trapped crossways on the roof of his mouth-- imagine the extra cost of being put to sleep if he didn't have a bone trapped up there. haha- speaking of bones.<br /><br />anyhow-- of course when he took eevee to have her tumor checked out-- guess what came up-- yup you guessed it-- she could use a cleaning. hubby responded with a polite-- no thanks, my wife would kill me. :))<br /><br />perhaps we should get some chicken tooth paste.<br /><br />i wonder if that makes kids brish more? hmmmm.<br /><br />happy tuesday charlotte-<br />happy brushingSOULhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096155256030485739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758315312808346503.post-62521898181171838352009-06-02T02:24:29.233-04:002009-06-02T02:24:29.233-04:00I laughed out loud when I read this because I have...I laughed out loud when I read this because I have two little Maltese Shi Tzus who act like I am taking them to the torture chamber when we go to the vets and mostly we are only going to have them groomed. The trembling starts the absolute moment their butts hit the car seats because in their little minds car rides = HELL.<br /><br /><br />They cry and carry on and make me feel like a mass murderer or something. I have had it suggested to me that perhaps my dogs would benefit from me cleaning their teeth. yeah right...just bathing their weepy eyes takes all the strength I have and is an ordeal I have to psyche myself up for.<br /><br /><br />Your dog is a little cutie Val and there's nothing wrong with spoiling them. They are part of the family after all.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339140046788925506noreply@blogger.com
