Benji & the dentist

Brought Benji to the dentist to get his teeth cleaned yesterday. Day started off quite normally for him actually, except that instead of staying home, YS bundled him off into the Beetle and dropped him off at the Vet. He must have figured out by now everything time we leave him at that "evil" place, nothing really good happens to him. So the procedure is to have him sedated, and while he is out cold, to clean his teeth of tartar, check for damage, etc .. Just like a human patient, except of the "out-cold" part of course.

Poor boy. They called us a few hours later, letting us know that Benji had to lose a tooth cos it was too decayed to save! So, while he was out, they yanked it out too. The last thing he probably remembered was probably an image of someone knocking him out... then waking up really groggy with a sore mouth! We picked him up after work, and he's been adjusting really well at home so far... We think its a sign for us to be more dilligent at brushing him in the future so that he doesn't lose any more teeth!!
