I just brought these girls home the other day. I cannot get over how cute they are. They have a few weeks of quarantine and growing to do before they get introduced to the rest of the mischief.

Here are some before and after photos from Kess’s dental appointment to serve as a reminder that regular dental cleanings done under anesthesia are so important for this breed. Bostons, due to their face shape, are at an increased risk for malocclusion and crowding. Kessler got a gold star on his tooth brushing and home care, his teeth looked super great upon initial look (you can see in the first photo very minimal tartar) but when they probed beneath the gum line and did X-rays he ended up have five teeth that needed to be pulled. Simply looking in the mouth, especially on an awake dog, is not sufficient to identify dental disease.

My little dude and I got to play his favorite game this weekend. He was refusing to do the tunnel most of the weekend but did his last run on Saturday and got another qualifying score in Master B. He did get some Crazy8s points both days too and was hunting really beautifully. He only had one rat for the master run and he was so mad about it.
