| Lost another tooth Sydney was spayed and had three baby teeth removed a week ago. This morning she lost another tooth. It's wide with several different points. The vet is going to take a look at her this afternoon. Is it possible that the vet missed one? Has this happened to anyone else? She's only 6-months old. |

| Oscar had a bunch of teeth removed. Some were baby teeth that wouldn't fall out and others were extra adult teeth. Even after he had his baby teeth pulled, a few more fell out. At his last check up, the vet said he had even more "extra" teeth. Don't know how or why he has so many teeth but they don't cause him any problems.

| I learned something new today. Yorkies have what's called caps. Sydney's vet removed her remaining three baby teeth, but there are teeth in the back that come out when the new ones under pop up. The vet said most dogs swallow them so people don't realize that their dog is still losing teeth. In fact, the vet was able to wiggle another one of her caps out (and it didn't hurt her). He said she has a few more to go. I asked him about giving her one teenie Greenie a day and he said that Greenies are very good for dogs. So, she got a Greenie after we returned home. Another thing I didn't know is that a Yorkie can go through several personality changes from 5-8 months of age. I was telling him how Syd was doing great on her potty training. She was going to her wee wee pads without issue until yesterday. Now she acts as if she's afraid of them, or at least where they're located. He just laughed and said you have a teenager on your hands lol. I have a 4 lb. teen lol. Anyway, we are back to me having to take her to her wee wee pads and blocking her in until she goes. I'm hoping she'll outgrow this phase soon. |

| That's interesting about the caps. No wonder Oscar had so many teeth removed. And the teeth are so tiny I'm surprised I even found the ones I did. I give Oscar greenies almost every day. He loves them. As for the personality changes, I think Oscar "grew up" almost over night. He was previously potty trained on pee pads when I lived in PA. Then we did the move and drove all the way to TN and when we got here, he wanted nothing to do with the pads anymore. He even went to the door to go outside. We never took him out back home. Crazy how smart they are sometimes. I think being in the car and going outside everytime we stopped made him quickly potty trained. These animals amaze me every day.

| They are smart little dogs...sometimes lol. Sydney had her first accident in weeks on the carpeting. I really don't know what happened, but she's afraid of where the wee wee pads are located. This started two days ago. Up until then she would trot off to the area on her own and then come find me to give her a treat. I don't want to change the location because it's out of the way on bare floor, but not too far away from us. She will go there on her own to go #2, but she will shake and cry if I take her to the pads to go #1. Even if I sit with her. If she's not shaking and crying, she's trying to get in my lap to lay down. I don't know if it has anything to do with her spaying from just over a week ago or losing teeth. I have her gated into the area now with a couple toys and her bed, but I'll be moving her to her crate soon. My guess is that it's back to crate training. |

| My little Tucker actually had 8 baby teeth removed a little over a month ago and last night he was eating a few cheerios and he started rubbing his face on the floor and I wasn't sure what was wrong with him. I thought he might have one stuck or was having some sort of allergy reaction to them but he finally stopped and then I found another tooth lying on the floor. I thought that all of his baby teeth were gone but I guess not. It looked kind of funny so I thought maybe it might have broken off but from what I can see it looks like his mouth is ok. He won't let me look at his mouth very well. Also he has been doing somewhat better about telling me that he has to go outside so maybe he is finally getting it, but he loves it outside anyway. By the way he is almost 8 months old and a little devil boy who thinks that he is a cat. He jumps from chair to chair, jumps up in our bay window and can jump in bed by himself. Nothing is safe at our house but I love him to death. |

| Oscar went through a phase where we had to put two separate pee pads down for him. He would only pee on one and poop on the other. Then we eventually moved the pads closer and closer till there was only one. And like I said before, now he wants nothing to do with them and he goes outside. He's been a bit stubborn lately and doesn't like to go out if it's raining. He will hold it all day or unfortunately go pee in the corner if it is raining. He has a rain coat so he doesn't get wet, but he wants nothing to do with it. A few months ago he would run around and have a blast in the rain. Crazy little guy. Yorkies are nortorious for being hard to potty train. Easy to train with everything else, but terrible to potty train.
