Cooper Broke a Tooth!!!

Wednesday, January 18^th, 2012

The only way to get Cooper to “wind down” when he gets hyper, is to play fetch with his favorite bunny (he stole it from my closet, used to be an Easter Bunny). I had done it a few time, tossing the bunny down the hall, and he’d fetch it trotting back with it tripping up his feet. On one occasion I was trying to get him to “drop it”, and I’ve even had to blow on his nose to get him to let go, but this time he chipped a tooth. I immediately felt physically ill, called the Veterinarian’s office. His appointment for next week was pushed to tomorrow morning.

So, we’ll go in tomorrow morning, he’ll get shots and the micro chipping (fecal sample which is gross included in that). But the woman explained that it will save me the $40 fee to have the Vet. Look, he’ll need antibiotics, but we’ll find out what it costs when a puppy plays ruff?

I have scars on my hands and arms from his nipping, and bruising/chew marks from the last time he went to snap back for his bunny and caught the back of my arm. Than was easier, when he gets that bad, I get up and walk away… I refuse to play with a biter!

I am still a bit freaked out, and while walking him, he decided to chew on rocks?!?! Hello, and cost me for any others he breaks… I don’t think so! Hurt retrieving them from his little mouth, but worth it to save him from breaking another. And with that thought, I pay good money on his puppy food… and he eats grass, dirt, and chews on rocks.
