Wow the pics are very telling. Good thing your as observant as you are. I recently got into the habit of checking them each evening too...not that I always didn't hold and pet and groom, but I didn't routinely give them the once over...I have found with my Miss Mini and Mia it is a necessity...Remember I'm the one who didn't realize my dog was deaf for 7 months
Glad things are going better for Teddy Pumpkin! Hes too cute for all this...Prayers for you and Teddy!
