Molly and her Braces...Week Three

**Miss Kitty** · 12-13-2005, 06:38 AM

In order to keep from visiting the Real Estate and/or G.I. forums and getting bummed out, I am suggesting a little contest. I can't set up a poll...(DUH!), but let's guess what color Molly's rubber bands will be this week....she goes in today for her third adjustment. I can't feed her this morning, so I have to avoid looking at her!!!

Week one....purple
Week two....pink
Week three...?

My guess is red. Good luck and check back for the answer this afternoon!

P.S. Desperate times = Desperate measures

EDIT: The General Info Forum has suffered a bit as well.

Tie dye!

**Miss Kitty** · 12-13-2005, 06:40 AM

Awesome response!!! I just realized I have an edit to make!

**audie** · 12-13-2005, 07:16 AM

either red or green for christmas !

**Mermaid** · 12-13-2005, 08:15 AM

I vote for lime green, same as your sunglasses, Miss Kitty.

**Sheila** · 12-13-2005, 08:15 AM

Red and white candy cane stripe!

**iwishiwasthere** · 12-13-2005, 08:18 AM

I like the candy cane idea.Log in my vote..and yes the general board is a little too serious.

How many more bands for Molly? I saw a dog on tv that had not had the braces and the poor thing looked so sad.....everyone on the show was laughing at him. Glad Molly has parents who care....imagine the therapy bill from that ridicule!

**Johnrudy** · 12-13-2005, 08:44 AM

I also think red and white (candy cane) would be cute too!
(I hope nobody from one of the other more intense threads jumps over here and insults us!!)

**kathydwells** · 12-13-2005, 09:32 AM

I am voting for green....and if you can stand to look at her long enough, please give her a hug for me!!!

**Miss Kitty** · 12-13-2005, 10:04 AM

So sad!!!! No green OR red!!! Seems there are only four choices!!! FTLOG, what's a dog to do???? But, Molly has requested the ultimate...even I hadn't thought this possible...are you ready????.....

GLOW IN THE DARK!!!!!!!! I'll be up all night looking in her mouth!!!!

P.S. Molly might get lucky and have her LOWER braces put on today! Then we can call her metal mouth! And, no, we do not laugh at her...until one of them pops and it hangs out of her mouth...now that's FUNNy!!!!! I wonder how much a doggie shrink is????

Do you have to change her rubberbands?
I've been told that I need to take John to a canine chiropractor for his bad back! Can you imagine such a thing?

Better check for a degree!

Seriously, Are these vets with a specialty in back problems or are there really canine chiropractors?

SS: Molly seems to be taking her braces in stide. Does she choose the band color and if so how does that work?

I actually have! When Missy was suffering from bad arthritis and liver cancer, I used an holistic vet in Vermont along with my vet here who suggested him. One of the suggestions was for acupuncture, which we could not use because of steroids being used. The canine chiropractor was the one who did the acupuncture!

No, I don't change the bands. That's why she goes in once a week.

I know they make red bands. One of our school colors is red. One month when my son was still in braces all the kids in his class thought it would be FUNNy to get red rubber bands. Thankfully it only lasted a month.

My son gets all kinds of awful color combinations. I see him smile and it just looks nasty sometimes!

**dbuck** · 12-13-2005, 10:45 AM

I guess whatever keeps the bands on their teeth is a good thing.

Did it help Missy? So sad to see older dogs suffer and seems like a better option than drugs.

Can you post a photo of Molly with Christmas bands?

Yeah...LL had a great pic of a dog with crooked teeth and then he added purple bands to it!!!! Loved that! Can't wait to see if the new bands glow in the dark!

You are so clever! This must be one of your other talents that you speak of.

**katie blue** · 12-13-2005, 02:32 PM

I always say it: TOOTH HURTY ...the dental hour

You are right kb...I just didn't want to say the HURTY part!!! I haven't looked yet, but she has uppers and lowers now! This is good...it means things are progressing quickly!!! She wasn't so drugged this time.

But what color are her bands????!!!????

**Rita** · 12-13-2005, 05:02 PM

SS, Molly will probably be in and out of her doggy braces/bands way before my daughter will. It's impossible to get her to wear her bands like they ask. We'll be making that trip to the Ortho office well into college at this rate.

Color in the band color of choice!
