"Oh what a perfect friz! Absolutely beautiful Dood! I love the contrast between ear color and body and the mix in the face. I see I commented earlier. Oops. Well, it's worth repeating in similar words."
Ken Seversen replied to Ken Seversen's discussion Follow up on dental work caused by hard chews and toys"Do you mean for fetching or just to have to chew on? I don't believe that the fuzz will wear their teeth while fetching. I have some I buy at Target that are made by Kong and have a squeaker in them. Tess occasionally will…"

Sally, Ditzy Mitzi & Sgt. Pepper replied to Ken Seversen's discussion Follow up on dental work caused by hard chews and toys"Mitzi has a weird habit of chewing ,or trying to chew, on the interior bricks on the wall she rests next to. Other times she chews on the wood frame to a bedroom door she likes to sleep by. So it doesn't seem to…"
Ken Seversen replied to Ken Seversen's discussion Follow up on dental work caused by hard chews and toys"Thanks. The vet says they have to hurt but she shows no sign of discomfort. But, then, she doesn't react when I give her her allergy shot either. I have her wear a bell b/c she's prone to lay down near us and we've…"
Ken Seversen replied to Ken Seversen's discussion Follow up on dental work caused by hard chews and toys"Braiding is a foreign concept to me! Tess isn't so much for tug of war at 7 years. However, that looks like a great invention. Those nylon ropes tied to different toys: donuts, bones, were some of the best…"
shelly replied to Ken Seversen's discussion Follow up on dental work caused by hard chews and toys"Oh boy... I feel so bad for you and Tess. Tori too loves her nylabones.... She tears EVERYHING apart - even the firehose material toys. I now will be more leery of these. They also help to clean her teeth as she eats…"
Joanne ~ Spud* replied to Ken Seversen's discussion Follow up on dental work caused by hard chews and toys"Ken,
In the do-it-yourself group, I have a discussion post about home made ropes I make out of t-shirt material. I wonder if that would be safer? The store bought ropes always shred on us. There was a discussion last week…"
Ken Seversen replied to Ken Seversen's discussion Follow up on dental work caused by hard chews and toys"One thing as a puppy that she loved chewing on was thick nylon ropes that I tied around rubber bones and such. She'd chew on the knots and shred them, and I'd retie another and larger knot. We played tug with that and she'd also lay…"
Joanne ~ Spud* replied to Ken Seversen's discussion Follow up on dental work caused by hard chews and toys"He gets 1-2 leg bones a month. Some months none, other months two if you get my point. He really doesn't chew on them, just really works at the marrow.
He does not destroy toys. Not a big chewer. Just a baller."

Carol and Banjo said… - Thank you for your kind comments Ken.....it was quite a compliment as I see you have taught photography! I have finally signed up for a photography class and hope to learn to use my camera...rather than relying on dumb luck! Your little Tess is darling! I just love the shot of her as a tiny pup cradle in the arms like a little baby!!! Too cute!

Nancy, Ned, and Clancy said… - Got your message - question in mini doodles. You sent it as a message and no one can respond. Go back to the group and post it as a discussion. It would be a good one. When you post the discussion be sure to click on the picture icon and post a picture of your dood. She is so adorable. Her coat looks so soft and silky.

- Thank you for the compliment. We think we have found a wonderful home for our foster rescue, Sunny. We sure will miss him but we are so excited about finding a forever home for him.
