| Jo's puppy tooth...I finally got one! Frankly, I've been a bit jealous of those on here who were lucky enough to find a puppy tooth from their babies. I knew Jo was losing his but I never saw any. Well, yesterday after a good round of play with his favorite toy we noticed him pawing at his mouth...we looked with the flashlight and felt around a bit but found nothing. Last night he was restless at bedtime, which is unusual, and he tried to eat a couple pieces of food then went in his little house and went to bed. Well, this morning I saw something white in his bowl and there it was...his puppy tooth! I feel like I'm the newest member of some secret club because I have a puppy tooth! I know I'm probably a bit too excited about this but hey...I don't have kids of my own and this is pretty big! So, my baby Jo is growing up but he still can't date until he's 2! |

| LOL, awww, what a proud Mother! We were lucky enough to find 5 or 6 little toothies of Yoda's. It's so cute to find them! Funny about him not being allowed to date until he's two! Hahahahah |

| It was very exciting to find my Keno's baby teeth. We have quite a few of them. One night in the bed I felt something poking in my leg and found it to be a tooth! My husband and I sound silly but we saved them. |

| I was thrilled to find his tooth! I knew he was losing some but I never found them and I can feel a couple more sticking out that should be coming out soon. I'm glad he's losing them on his own. Boog never lost a baby tooth so he had 2 full sets for a while...the poor little guy looked like a crocodile until we had them pulled. Jo has lots of toys so he has several different textures to chew on. Sometimes he wants his bumpy Nylabone and sometimes he prefers something soft...I guess it depends on how sensitive his gums are at the time. The toy he was playing with is...are you ready for this?...a bullwhip. We found a nylon bullwhip and he loves to chase the end of it...if you wiggle it in the grass like a snake he 'kills' it. I think all the chewing on the rope may have worked the tooth loose. He absolutely loves the darned thing and now he looks for it everytime we go outside. I think I'll look for a cat toy like that so we can play inside too...it wears him out so he sleeps good when he's done! |

| AHHHH you found one this week Luna lost 3 of her bottom teeth in a row, we found one. Is this normal for her to loose so many at once?

| Lucky you ! Mya has lost about 10 teeth over the last 2 weeks or so and I have not found one. Mya had a busy morning and has been quiet all afternoon and this evening. She was not eating, I added water to soften her food but she was still not interested. I looked in her mouth and her gums are all swollen. I checked for loose teeth and didn't find any. I hope she gets a break for awhile.

| I hope Mya feels better tomorrow. We bought some Wellness canned food for Jo when we noticed he wasn't eating so much and I knew it had to be from teething. I gave him plain cold canned food for a day or two and then I started putting his hard food in with it again...now he's fine. He actually likes the food cold...I think it feels good on his gums. |

| You are so lucky!! I know Cocoa has been losing his teeth, but I haven't got any luck in finding one. Not that I haven't tried looking for them around the house though. LOL. No luck for me so far. I even found one of his front teeth that was kind of loose but not completely out yet earlier yesterday. When I checked his teeth again after his dinner last night, the loose tooth was already gone. And I still couldn't find it anywhere. . Maybe better luck for me next time. |

| I hate to break it to you guys, but if you are looking and you arent finding any teeth, you might be looking in the wrong places. Most of the time they swallow their baby teeth when then they lose them, so if you arent looking at the poop, then thats probably why you havent found a tooth! I only found his two molars around the house. I think bc they were big, he spit them out, so I found them, but those lother little nubs pass right through them! Mine go on puppy pads so sometimes I see them. I don't go digging through it, but if I see one I pick it out with a piece of tp and wash it and put it in the empty medicine bottle with his others!
