Thank you Smelcerk. It is fun to watch her come out of her shell. As a ritual I cleaned my Papillon, Belle's ears today along with brushing her teeth. So I grabbed Sugar. Now, I new her teeth were something of a mess, so I used just some doggie toothpaste on my finger. She did well, no crunching on my finger, lol and she let me get a good look at her teeth. The front ones look really bad, but none were painful. So I am going to press on using the paste and a Chlorhexadrine spray on and see what we find in a week or two. Then I cleaned her ears. OMG fingertip sized clumps of brown gunk came out. I cleaned her up and an hour later instilled some medicated drops. She then spent the rest of the day next to my S/O Darrell, shunning me until I started cooking supper.
I have a feeling she was fed only table scraps. She has very little interest in dog food. However, if Belle will bring her mouthfuls of the dry Science diet, she will gobble them up. So sweet that Belle does that for her. Darrell also feeds her from his plate, and today he was holding his plate a little too low, so Sugar just helped herself. I say it is part of that Yorkie audacity, not naughtiness. lol My Little Suzie would do that too. You put it in her face, she helps herself. lol Just too cute. |
