Patti: Thanks! I had those little finger gloves when we only had Ginger and she hated it when I tried to get in her mouth. She was almost OK with getting the front ones done but she shook her head and squirmed and carried on like crazy when I'd try to get in to the back ones!
sugarmamma: Thankyou for the thumbs up! I am having fun out of the house, as well as in it, once again and that makes me feel much better emotionally so then the better I do physically! I am going to start taking one pup at a time over to the mail box and back - which isn't too far to walk! Hope that works well!
dwerten: What a wonderful sounding idea!! Thanks for that link. I am going to see if anybody in Canada carries that product or something like it! I'll even check with our vet and groomer. They both carry lots of different products for dogs. The dental hygenist that worked on ShyAnne showed me how to do the brushing in a circular motion. I laughed b/c I said that taking care of their teeth sounds identical to how to clean our own teeth - other than flossing!
I started to clean their teeth on Friday by using the paste on my finger, as I was shown. She told me to do that for a few days before trying the brush. They are not cooperating very well!! But, I am getting some of the teeth done on both of these little stinkers and I think they will be OK once they get used to the stuff!! My oldest dtr suggested (laughing as she did) that I might have to try different toothpastes until I find one they really like - just like she had to do with her kids!
