Thanks Nancy. I'm sure it is great.

You are going to have to tell your company to upgrade their computers!

It's more likely their computers are programmed to block videos. A lot of companies block photo/video sites along with myspace, facebook, etc.

Yep that's it. Funny thing is sometimes I can but most times I can't.

They always say if you can change one person's mind, something is worth it, so thanks very much for telling me this!

I need to find a better toothpaste. Molly hates the one I have, and I have to admit it's such a struggle I don't do it very often.

How often should I be brushing her teeth?

My Vet recommends everyday. But if it's a struggle, at least 3 times a week.
I shoot for most days. We're probably at 5-6 days a week on average. I just make it part of the daily grooming session. I brush teeth first, take a warm rag and clean her face up (cause the toothpaste gets everywhere!) and wipe out her eye boogies. Then onto the grooming.

Thanks for the info. I've been letting her eyes slide too, so I'm going to have to hitch up my britches and get back on track. I used to be such an attentive Mommy!

That was so cute Nancy and as usual, you did a great job.

capt_noonie · 05-14-2009, 02:44 PM

Put a bit of doggy toothpaste on the brush and smoosh it in the bristles. then wave it in front of their face, and tease them with "wanna get it?" they will try to bite it, and then they think "hey this stuff taste good!" Then you hold the brush as they chew on it and move it around. Don't try to open their mouths with your hand, they will get mad. After a few minutes rinse and put the brush away where they can't get it. Then every other day or so go get it and tease them again. It becomes a treat instead of a chore. : )

Wow that's a great idea, really for the short time you've been here, you have given me some of the best tips!

ARCHIE · 05-14-2009, 02:54 PM

Oh how I flew home tonight to see this video.
I was not dissapointed! It was so much fun watching all
those babies brushing their teeth. Priceless.
Nancy you did an awsome job

Your so talented.
I loved it. I laughed out loud about Joey thinking about it

Thanks once again Nancy for taking the time to put something
so important together and teaching other's about dental
hygeine.

P.S. I almost forgot about the twinkle. Perfect, your too good.

After my boyfriend and i lost our home, Uni is the last of what we've got. She is the reason we still wake up everyday. that is why I am soooooo into yorkies, and want to share what i have found out about them with everyone. yorkies have a bad rep sometimes, that they are hard to train, and that is totally untrue!!! it makes me a little happier if i can help someone out!
