Just needed to say how grateful I am for my daughters returning to NC safely. They were in a 5 car wreck ( rear-ended) and were not hurt. They were the only car to drive away. God is good! I guess I will never quit worrying about them. At least they were together which provide support and comfort.

How is Molly this morning? Ihope she rested well and her teeth do not hurt too much. Dogs are so pitiful when they moan and hurt.
Molly is fine. Her mom is exhausted from cleaning up post surgery tummyitis! She just ate a scrambled egg and is playing with ONE of her many new soft toys. She has pawed at her mouth a few times, but other than that, she just wants to eat!

May the Driving Angels be along for the ride with you, Mermaid! The house always feels a little lonely after MS leaves. But he'll be back in less than three weeks for a month, as I am sure yours will be!
Guess I'll post it here since WHEW is what I'll be saying later today. I am doing my best to not make eye contact with Molly this morning. Remember the overbite? Well, I haven't been able to mention it (DENIAL!)...today is the day she goes in for, yes my friends, BRACES!! She has lower canine teeth that are growing in straight up instead of splayed out and they are hitting the roof of her mouth (poor baby!). The solution is to place brackets on the canines and a back tooth with a "power chain" attached that will need to be adjusted every week to 10 days. This will take 3 - 5 months! She also has an upper canine distortion and I was so overwhelmed at the dog dentist that day that I can't even remember what is being done about that. I can't feed her this morning and therefore I can't look at her!!! I just try to remember how blessed I am that we have the resources and the time to do this for her. I know all my sowalers will send good thoughts to Molly today although I am the one that needs the sedative!!!!
Oh Miss Kitty! I missed this post because it was in a traveling thread!! I'll keep reading but I know in my heart that Molly is fine and you have perfect peace now that it is all over. I noticed earlier that you only slept about three hours last night :shock: I would be a zombie. Have a great day!

Darlene...the sweetest thing is when your daddy tries to buy you gas at the age of 50!!!! I swear, it happens!!!
Suncat...thanks for thinking of all the travelers and my dog who has braces and purple rubber bands...I AM NOT KIDDING!!!
My dear, sweet Daddy who passed away last year always bought my gas when I visited them ( and I am your age.)
Purple rubber bands!!! I love it!!! :clap_1: Hope her mouth isn't sore...I remember my braces as a teen and both of my children had them. Doggie ones are probably different though.

Miss Kitty, you have to take a picture of Molly and post it for us. The purple rubber bands just crack me up. Hope she is doing ok this morning.

Miss Kitty, I am sure that my daddy will be doing the same thing when I turn 50!!!

Isn't nice to be loved.My husband always gives the girls spending money and fills their car up with gas when they leave. Sweet gestures.
Yes, those sweet gestures mean so much. My father would alway's slip me a $20.00 bill EVERY time I went home to visit from college. I am sure were he not retired and on a fixed income, he would still do the same for me today! Daddies are special people, and I have to say, I think I have one of the best!!!

Man...she is doing great! We played with her new soft toys today, she ate very well and tummy is normal! WHEW! Now, jdarg, she goes in every week for an adjustment....she may need "slow down juice", so I have to leave her. That will be the hard part!!! We will be doing the top teeth first, then the bottoms...3 - 6 months. YIKES....is there a dog dentist in SoWal???? I sure would like to go back to my home in paradise!!!

Rita, tell your braces wearing daughter that I am making that face as well!!! Who ever heard of a dog in braces???? At least she is not self conscious when she smiles!!!

Can you see them from the outside?

I am sure you can see Rita's daughters from the outside!!!! hee hee hee
Molly's are just from the canine tooth and back, so only rarely have I actually spotted them. I was thinking after we are done with this, we'll get her a whitening job and then she can be a dog model!!!

OK- so I need more coffee, huh?

:funn:
Molly smiles?
I'll have to see if I can load a picture of our one-eyed guinea pig we rescued and gave to Jackie as a Christmas present one year.
It, Sadie, was going to be fed to the pet store snakes!
She was a $5 guinea pig that turned into a $200+ g-pig! :shock: The vet held her up, looked into her face and told her she was one lucky little guinea pig to find owners who would fix her eye. (We said "ouch, guess we'd better start bounding with this critter!")
At least she doesn't need braces!
