Wooden Teeth

Well, it was time for my yearly visit to the vet for my vaccinations. This is the second time I've had the "pleasure" of this annual activity, and I must say, it was no better this year than last year...in fact, it was worse, but I'll get to that later.

Of Course, Mommy had to get my picture with her Blackberry. She took about ten but this was the best one of the lot.

Dr. Huhman, who I'm sure got lots of jokes about his name at vet school, checked me out, and said:

weight: 3 lbs 14 oz
heart: good ticker
heart worm test: negative
poop test for worms: negative (can you believe worms would live in there?!)
ears: great
teeth: BIG problem

He said I have a lot of tartar build up on my teeth, and they need to be cleaned. Unfortunately, this means I'll have to spend a whole day at the vet office and be
put to sleep for the teeth cleaning. YUCK!

Mommy was very surprised since I'm only 2 and Maddux is 5 and hasn't had his teeth cleaned yet. Dr. Huhman said teeth issues are a problem with Yorkies, and it looks like mine are going to be an issue. Hmmm...maybe it's all that sheet rock I ate as a puppy or the door frame that I continue to chew...nope, that could be it.

The vet informed Mommy that she could slow down the tartar build up by brushing my teeth at least every other day. Now, I'm not exactly sure how this "brushing of the teeth" works, but I can guarantee I'm not going to like it one little bit.

Anyway, Mommy will have to schedule my appointment in the next few weeks, and hopefully they won't have to pull any of my teeth. I'm only two for crying out loud...I'm too young for dentures!

After delivering the great news about my teeth, Dr. Huhman proceeded to give me THREE shots! How rude!
