I thought that when we got a puppy our life would be totally turned upside down. I'm actually finding that (at least right now) it really isn't. I can only conclude that our life must be upside down to start with. Todd does what all puppies do, he gets into everything. And just when we think that he couldn't get into anything else, he finds something to literally get tangled in.
But you may be able to imagine my concern this afternoon when Todd started whining and opening and closing his mouth. I thought maybe the cookie I'd just given him had gotten caught in his throat. But my finger in his mouth felt nothing but had blood on it. He managed to get away from me and ran out the open back door. I finally was able to catch him and I had Carl hold him as I looked down his throat...Nothing...
FINALLY my eye caught sight of what it was...
He was losing one of his molars--It was really loose and just barely hanging on, and so I pulled it out.
Mystery solved and Todd did the only thing he could do after that kind of event--
Take a nap!!
I wonder if he'll be hoping for the tooth fairy to leave something under that stuffed animal?
I vote that the tooth fairy leaves him something. Look at that sweet boy napping with his pal.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, sweet baby! And what a brave mama you are! ;D
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, I think your dentist should promote you!! You can now pull teeth and I think that should mean something and be deserving of some sort of certificate or something..
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is one of the cutest ones I've seen yet!! Tell Todd I hope the tooth fairy brings lots of treats ;-)
Awwww, he so so cute! I've managed to find one puppy tooth from each of our dogs when they've fallen out. I keep them as treasured momentos of those puppy-crazy days!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are heart warming.
Oh dear, a lose tooth that doesn't fall out can be painful and alarming, I remember it well! We never had that kind of problem with one of our dogs though and hardly ever found any of their teeth.
ReplyDeleteOh poor baby!!! We hope he has lots of teething toys. Mom says freeze some kongs for him too.
ReplyDeleteAROOOOOF!

Poor Todd! I remember Jill losing hers, I have a couple somewhere. Jack must have eaten his! He looks so sweet, sleeping. :-)
ReplyDeleteAw, what a good Mom, to pull his tooth and make it possible for him to rest easily. That last picture is just so sweet and peaceful. Every once in a while I wonder what all of your Goldens think of the flurry of activity that is Todd. Which, in a round about sort of way, reminds me, has Charlie ever learned to accept the only other non-Golden in his pack? And you new old girl, does(my stupid brain won't call up her name), is she still Mothering Todd?
ReplyDeleteoh, little one! i'm sure the tooth fairy will be kind!
ReplyDeleteOh long forgotten teething puppy days!!! Poor wee baby. Of course he's dreaming of the tooth fairy.
ReplyDeleteThat last picture is just perfection...
Awh... My buddy lost a tooth, stuff happens. Looks like he's chillin' just fine.
ReplyDeleteOh Todd, work it dude, work it.
ReplyDeleteYou could have gotten a lot more mileage out of that if you had not let her see it was a tooth.
But your young...there is much to learn about how to worry your family.
Get some rest, there are a whole load of teeth left to fall out.
love
Bert
What a cute post! I love it, Kim!
ReplyDeleteYou are so stinkin' cute Todd! That tooth fairy had better leave you something!
ReplyDeleteI think the tooth fairy should put on her frilliest pink tutu and pay that boy a visit!
ReplyDeleteThe tooth fairy will stop at your place, you can bet on it.

Of all the teeth Sampson lost, I only got one, and that is because I heard it plink on the floor. I still have it in a little plastic bag.
ReplyDeleteI hope the tooth fairy is good to Todd!
Oh I remember those days--With both Sassy and Mabel I would find little puppy teeth on the floor. Poor little Todd--what a frightening time. Good thing he had you to make him feel safe again.

I have lots of puppy teeth that I've saved over the years. I think the dog tooth fairy brings super delicious treats, such as cheese.
ReplyDeleteAw! Todd is too cute! I have to admit I saved all of Cooper's puppy teeth...at least the ones I was able to find (or pull!).
ReplyDeleteWhat will the tooth fairy leave little Todd?
:)
I hope the tooth fairy comes tonight! I cannot wait to hear what Todd gets!
ReplyDeleteI am sure he is saying "thanks momma for making my mouth feels better!"
Those photos are too adorable! His little ear stands up even when he is asleep!
And who is Todd sleeping with? Is that little curly headed Carrie Ann?
I had to come back and look at your beautiful butterflys that you always catch in their beauty!
So beautiful!
Now let the tooth fairy come!
love

Aww! I hope the tooth fairy leaves him a little Milkbone under his pillow!
ReplyDeleteWe're sure Todd was grateful for the assisted tooth extraction! The suggestion for frozen chew toys for teething is a pretty good one. Glad to see you back.
ReplyDeleteJed & Abby
What a sweety! You are lucky to find that tooth...I searched and searched for Toby's lost teeth. Eventually, when I was about to give up, I found one. It's become a real treasure. I would bargain heavily witht the tooth fairy to keep it.

That last picture is too sweet! Hope the tooth fairy remembers him!!
ReplyDeleteThose rites of passage just keep coming along . Brave of you to say that your life hasn't been turned upside down . Yet !
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sure the tooth fairy will be good to the little tyke!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteThey sleep so sweet.....xxx...
ReplyDeleteI bet you were relieved! No mater how healthy they look on the outside, there's plenty of trouble waiting for a curious pup to mess up their insides. He's such a sweet little guy!
ReplyDeletecould he get more adorable????
ReplyDeleteeven sleeping, that little pink ear stands up! and i love the watchful eye of the sleek golden beauty next to him.
i had a little cocker puppy, sara, who got tangled up in the cords of the tv and sound system once. after her thrashing about to get out, we had to replace the unit! ahhhh... puppy days. sweet memories.
they have 2 speeds. they're either going and getting into something or they're fast asleep!
love,

OOOH! The Tooth Fairy's gonna come! Teehee! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday woofs & hugs, <3
~Bailey (Yep, I'm a girl!)
Oh my gosh when I look at that little face I just melt into a pool of giggles. He is just too precious and what a little monkey he looks like!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness it was just the usual baby stuff and nothing serious! Take care little guy and stay away from wire fences...:)

So cute-you would have been in heaven at the dog show with me-so many scotty's but the ones I thought were cutest looked like your Todd. Have a great week my friend. LU. Noreen
ReplyDeleteTodd is so cute. Whatever he is dreaming of it must be something nice, as even when he is asleep he looks happy and content.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment on my last post. It is nice to hear how other people have handled things, and I appreciate your wise words.
Haha yes i'm pretty sure there is a dog tooth fairy!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd i am still amazed by the fact that he is still a puppy! He looks so much more matured!
Thanks
Leontien
I so enjoy your little Todd. Such a cutie pie! Hope he gets something special. And that last photo is just adorable of the two.
ReplyDeletePoor pup! Hmm.... I wonder what the going rate is for a puppy tooth.... I hope the tooth fairy at least brings him a treat... ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad everyone is doing good.

What a sweet picture Kim !
ReplyDeleteGood job it was only his tooth giving him the problem, and your quick thinking took care of that little problem...
I hope the tooth fairy leaves him a bone or two :)
~Jo
I love the adventures of your life with Todd
ReplyDeleteI do believe in fairies, I do, I do!! And that includes the tooth fairy, so I hope she will come by your house and leave something for Todd for being such a good boy about the tooth falling out. I actually still have about 3 or 4 of Cody's baby teeth, ones that fell out on the carpet, and one that we had to pull just like Todd's. I think he was glad to be rid of it. a hug to you and Todd, Debby
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice post, particularly after crying about Constance's death. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAhhh puppy antics! Well todd we hope the tooth fairy stops by and bring you something nice!
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,

That is the sweetest thing ever!
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is one of the sweetest pictures EVER!
ReplyDeleteHow'd you all do with the quake today? Hope all is well!
Oh how cute!! Both of them.
ReplyDeleteI miss having animals, but when you travel a lot, it is not really fair to an animal.
Ah, what a sweetie! I hope the tooth fairy brought him a special treat.
