Toofer Trouble

Tomorrow morning I take Winston in to the vet to have his teeth cleaned and have at least one removed. Despite my incessant brushing of both of their teeth as well as dental treats, and high quality dog food, one of his teeth has managed to basically rot from the root up. They say it's a genetic thing and has nothing to do with how I clean and maintain their teeth. Which is both a good and a bad thing. The good thing is it's not my fault, but the bad thing is that there's nothing we can do about it happening to any of his other teeth in the future. Hopefully, though, this will be a one-time event.

In any case, he, of course, has to go under anesthesia for this, so please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as this is always a tiny bit risky.

He is, however, looking forward to all the yummy canned food he'll get to eat for the next week :)

I pick him up at 5pm tomorrow night - we'll be sure to let you all know how it goes. Thanks to everyone who has already given me reassuring messages via twitter - they have all helped to make me less nervous about this. Winston hasn't been put under since his neuter when he was just a tiny puppy, so it's been a while since he's spent the entire day at the vet's office. He did just fine then, though, and I'm sure he'll do just fine this time around as well.
