The baby teeth don’t always come out by themselves when the new teeth come in. I have heard of many vets that pull the baby teeth that didn’t come out because they can cause a problem with the new tooth.
Dolly has one baby tooth right in the middle of her bottom front row of teeth. She did not get the adult tooth for that one. The vet told me that it is OK, unless some day that it would have a problem.

Peggy, she is such a sweetheart. The shelter guessed her age at 2 but we noticed last night that she still has one baby tooth in front of her permanent tooth. So maybe she's a little younger than that? She doesn't have a puppy face but more of an adult face. I'll let the vet make a better guess when she goes in to see him next week for a check up. Pics coming soon.

Hi, all, Where do I start? I have Dalton and Dizzle who are mini dachshunds. I have Dorie and Garrett that are Chihuahuas. I had Delilah (Dizzle's litter mate) but gave her to my daughter to keep her mini dachshund company. Well, I saw the cutest little picture online of a 2 1/2 pound adult female Chihuahua that was found wandering the streets. The shelter here in town picked her up and tested her for heartworms (negative, thank God) and got her utd on shots and heartworm preventative and gave her a good flea bath. They said she was so covered in fleas that they couldn't even make out the color of her hair. She was spayed but had a horrible reaction and developed an abscess and almost died. I am friends with the lady who runs the shelter and to make a long story short, I am now the proud owner of Jill, the 2 1/2 pound blondish-white Chihuahua. She is sweet and loves to wear her sweaters and loves to ride in my dog purse.& amp; nbsp; She is so sweet and loving. I can't imagine why someone would just dump her in the middle of nowhere to fend for herself. I will send pics shortly of her and the rest of my motley crew, lol. Everyone gets along great so far. To top it all off, the local PAAC (People Assisting Animal Control) in my city is having a black tie gala on April 16 to raise money for the shelter. Guess who is going to be one of the star attractions. JILL!!! They have a male Chihuahua named Jack who will escort her down the runway to show off the wonderfully adorable rescues available through their shelter. I will have to make sure and get photos of the happy couple (they've never met by the way) as they strut their stuff. I showed Cheryl (the adoption coordinator) the picture of Deanna's gorgeous dress and she indicated they were having one very similar to that made for Jill. Not as elaborate or breath-taking but still nice. :)&n bsp; I am beaming and happy and beside myself with glee for my new chi baby. Thanks for letting me go on and on about her. I have to run into court so talk to you all later. Laura
