This past weekend, it was actually fairly warm. A whopping 30 degrees so Joel and I decided to take the boys for a walk around the lake. We were hoping it would burn some energy. I forgot Deke's snowpants at the daycare so we put some pj bottoms underneath his pants to act as thermal underwear and off we went. Of course, Deke would have to slip on some ice and fall in a wet, cold puddle so that cut the walk short. I think we were out for maybe 5 minutes before we had to load back up and get Deke home. We didn't have far to go fortunately and he was mighty upset that he couldn't walk anymore.
Took the dogs to the vet today. Walked out with an obscene bill. Two dogs are super expensive. I love our vet, though and he's recommending that we get Java's teeth cleaned and he has at least four teeth that will have to be pulled. Estimate for that little procedure will be close to $300. I think the dogs going to have to wait.

reggie had an extra tooth, and to have it pulled was $78. that included the meds to knock him out for the procedure.
i know the vet you are going to, and i feel they are over-priced on a lot of things. if the teeth yanking is something that REALLY needs to be done, you should check around.
Reggie needed his pulled, it was a baby tooth that never fell out and the adult tooth just grew in pretty much on top of it. it was super gross and bloody and tons of junk would get caught in it. but if your dog has had this for this long - it may not be a priority.
