My poor lil goblin chomped on a bone too hard and broke a tooth in the back of her mouth. She hates going to the vet, but will love being on a soft diet for a few weeks afterwards.

Rosie looks very well loved, she's adorable! Holy cow the devil on my shoulder would have me making so many sheep joke references to her during any given day, though. I feel like it's ok to joke with your pets, even at their expense, they don't understand the references, they never get hurt feelings, and they love the attention, and it brings them joy to see you happy and laughing, just don't ask my fluff boulder of a cat what we talk about...

Years ago I had a Dalmatian. He had one spot on his snout with enough whitespace on either side for a "D" and a "G" written in pen. I thought it was hilarious and he had no concerns over the matter. Reactions from others were mixed though none changed my stance.

Poor brave baby, good luck Rosie!

Aww poor little bb, she may scream-whine at you when it’s done. My little mini schnauzer did that to me when we picked her up from a tooth extraction

Thank you for the warning! I'm not worried about her recovery. Rosie has always bounced back from crazy medical stuff. She was bouncing around the next day after her spay and did the same after the two foreign body removal surgeries she had. She took like 2 days to bounce back after almost dying from ingesting a neurotoxin that was in a mouse she found in the yard. She's a lil goblin and doesn't get toys she can't digest and doesn't get to be outside without supervision anymore. Her brother, my beagle, had to be put down because they shared the mouse. I'd let them out into the yard so they could play while I showered and the beagle was seizing not long after that. We got home from trying to save him and Rosie was in the beginnings of seizures. We managed to save her and she's back to being a goofball. She has some memory issues from the brain damage caused by the seizures and s 107 degree fever, but we are reintroducing her to the things she's forgotten. I think the ordeal calmed her down a bit too. She's not as crazy and is a better listener and we've gotten even closer. I've been told that she'd make a great service dog because she knows when I'm gonna have a panic attack before I do and she herds me to chairs when my heart condition acts up.

Oh that hurt my heart. I'm glad you have Rosie.

The grief is so substantial that I'm on medical leave from work to get therapy and a med change. Radar and Rosie were the equivalent of children to me and losing Radar was on par with a parent losing a child. I'm so glad we were able to save Rosie. I would be so much worse if I had lost both of them. Rosie is a tough one for sure, but my goodness has she been expensive. Her stay in the animal hospital was 10 grand and that was with the 2k discount they gave me. I've probably spent 20k saving her life in the 3 years I've had her. She's worth all the money in the world. I've had folks say that they don't understand how I can be so upset about losing a dog and that Rosie and Radar are/were "just dogs." Like no. I've never had a motherly instinct before I got them. I can't have kids and don't want any. Critters are my calling. Rescues are my jam and motivate me more than anything.

There's no such thing as "just dogs."

I hope you continue to heal, yourself and the rescues. It's heaven's work.

A golden doodle that's like 3/4 poodle lol.

Go the F1B!

My girl is the same mix, she's knocked a couple of teeth out by running into our hills hoist; swallowed the teeth and kept playing.

She's the sweetest soul and is 100% going to break me in the next 5 or so years.

I thought the snout seemed a little blunt. She's darling!

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She really is! She gets a dumb look on her face and I love it. I'll have to get a pic of it and post it

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 2 days ago

I would love that!
