Joy has a loose tooth. I noticed she was doing this weird thing with her tongue in her mouth, like licking/smacking much more than normal. I thought maybe there was something she’d chewed on or eaten, like string or something, which she is wont to do, so I took a look in her mouth and immediately noticed one of her front teeth is all loose and the gum is red and inflamed around it.

She got to see the doc, and they said it’s a baby tooth that never fell out—very common—it probably fractured in there, and it’ll need to be pulled. The one on the other side is also very loose. So, for the second time this year, we’ll have a pup going into surgery. Wah-wah. Much less of a to-do this time tho compared to Coops. I expect her to bounce back much faster. Not cheap!

Writing was good this morning. Work, too. I also got a bunch of stuff done like being on the phone with airlines and insurance companies to get various stuff figured out that’s been waiting to be figured. That, and Joy, took up my entire afternoon. Couldn’t be helped. Glad it’s done.

Night night.
