Dental Day

Our trip to the dentist went very well. Juniper checked the place out, then she had to stand tied while Halla had her teeth worked on.

Halla did have the slight problem I thought I had seen. Her lower molars toward the front were longer than her uppers - she had a bit of a ramp there, keeping her jaw from sliding freely front to back. Farther back there were some more extreme than usual ridges that would have eventually forced gaps in between her teeth, and we're causing a bit of a catch in her side to side motion. Nothing serious for now, but would have been pretty awful if never corrected.

She was so good. Loaded right up and stood nicely with one mild dose of sedation.

Afterward Juniper loaded into the dental trailer without much fuss. She was a bit worried about the ramp at first but it didn't take long at all. Backing out was a little scary, at first she didn't want to, then she shot out really fast! Next time we'll try actually working on her teeth.

When it was time to go she was very worried and tried to load up before it was her turn.

I couldn't be happier with how they both behaved. Love my girls.

My niece and nephew-in-law got an adorable puppy. Isn't she wonderful? I could cuddle her all day.
