Was this his first dental? Both Magnus and Zoey only had it once and two different reactions. Magnus (Teapot) was pretty much up and running after about 30 min or so. Zoey on the other hand wanted to be left alone and just sleep most of the day.
As for feelings.. LOL My mom's feelings get hurt sometimes b/c she's last on their human list. Personally, I think it's cute. Sort of reminds me how "human" like they are.
I totally squeal when they give me the sideway glance. You know.. when you call them and they pretend not to hear you. But they totally give it away when they give you the quick side glance and/or ear twitch. LOL Sometimes they wag their stubby tail like crazy and want to come to you but pretend they're not interested. I can go on and on!!!
