OMG Tucker - I can so feel for you, my Mom does the same thing, how would they feel if we stuck that thing in their mouths :shock: You hang on to that thingy for a new chewy

Tucker, tell your Mommy to try the rubber finger type brush. It's much easier on the both of you! :wink:

I tried those Gene, but they were too big for my finger and kept spinning around

So Mary. are you trying to tell me I have sausage fingers?? :wink:

BTW Tucker.....you get more handsome everytime I see you!

I don't brush Dex's teeth (bad mommy!) but I have found a way to keep his head still. He gets little black eye boogies which I can't stand, and for the longest time it was impossible to get him to hold still while I got rid of them. Then I discovered the lower beard. It may sound cruel but it is in no way hurtful. You just grab a handful of the hair on his lower jaw and he will not pull at all, sits still as an angel. I don't even have to hold it forcefully. As soon as I have it in my hand, he sits still. It's a good tip in case he needs a shot or something where he has to be sitting still too.

Brushing is a necessary evil. One of those things the humans do too. You'll be glad in the long run. My Mom says that her old cocker had horrible teeth and probably was the cause of his congestive heart failure. He was a stray when she got him. I want to live a long doggy life, so I put up with the brushing.

When she first started brushing my teeth, she would do just one side and the next night do the other. I know I get a snack too, so I stand there and take it. Don't like it, but I let her do it. Mom's are like that. The tooth paste tastes pretty good though!

I get comments all the time about how pretty my teeth are and I want to keep them that way! Plus the girls like kisses from clean mouths. I know I do!!

You can kiss me anytime!

they sell a toothbrush toy (we got it at petsmart). it's the shape of a bone and has pads on both ends. you put dog toothpaste on the pads and they chew on it and the chewing brushes their teeth. we stopped using it w/dexter when he developed his food allergies but we should start trying it again now (esp w/Kirby).
