I’m sorry to hear about Poncho! I had a pug with a similar situation. No matter what I did, he had terrible teeth. I tried different foods, brushing, everything. He had many dentals and always had teeth extracted. Don’t be too hard on yourself, you take excellent care of him. Most likely, it’s genetic. Sending lots of love to you both!❤
I'm so sorry for your little dog and also sorry to see you so sad. You're right it's unusual to have such bad teeth at his age but it's not your fault. You always take great care of your dogs so well and they're lucky to have such a good family.
I get the being adventurous with food thing. I know what I like, and I want to stick with it, so there's always some internal resistance there. I want to eat healthier and try new things, so I'll feel mighty brave about it when I buy the new things, but less so when it's time to eat it. Hard not to have some waste in those situations. I don't think it's crazy at all (or dramatic) to feel bad about the Poncho situation. Sometimes we do the best that we can, but we have blind spots... things we don't know to do or keep up on. If you'd have known about Poncho's teeth being that way, you would've done something about it sooner... just like once you realized there was a problem, you were on it lickety-split. That's always been something that struck me about you is how much love you have for your dogs and how happy and well cared for they are. Poncho's post-bath drying off is super cute, btw! Random is good and interesting. I enjoyed this episode. :)
I do the exact same thing! I think I’m gonna be adventurous and make new things with it but it’s usually Travis that makes the new things ha ha ha. He’s made this Swiss chard and white bean lasagna, it was a layer of chia seeds in it. It sounded like the strangest thing but it is SOOOO good! He’s a phenomenal cook. He’s the more adventurous one for sure. I’ve always tried to brush Panchos teeth too, cause his breath stinks 🙄 and I noticed his teeth were kinda brown and yucky by the gums. But I had no idea they were like rotten 😳 that blew me away. Now we’re keeping a better eye on them and will get them cleaned professionally yearly 🥲 He gets the post bath crazies lol. Zeekie always did too. He’d get all excited for Pancho to get out of the bath so he could run around with him ha ha ha. Thanks for letting me know! I appreciate it!
@@ProjectWink Seems like he compliments you in that way! My husband is also the more adventurous one. He's been pushing me for years to try new stuff, so he's pretty happy that I finally am. That's crazy about the swiss chard and white bean lasagna with chia seeds. On paper, it doesn't sound appetizing, but hey, you don't know until you try it. I had those feels about egg wraps, but I wanted a no-flour option for my wraps, and I was surprised at how good Egglife wraps are. (Not a strong taste, holds together good, low calorie. Wowza!) So, yeah, I keep telling myself 'You won't know until you try it, so try it once!' Yeah. You ARE a good dog mom! And it could just be Poncho's genetics. We experienced this with our two human daughters. My oldest girl brushed religiously and still got a ton of cavities and needed root canals. It was ridiculous. But our boys, who take after my side of the family, didn't take as good care of their teeth and had maybe 1 or 2 cavities. O.o I still think about Zeek, especially when I watch you with your other doggos. He really was a good boy.
Oh my ... poor Poncho. But why didn't they call before removing the teeth? I mean, it's a bad comparison, but if I have my car at the shop, they call for every small thing if they should do it, when it wasn't agreed upon upfront .... I would have been upset with them. Well you could make a necklace out of his teeth ... to always remind him ... 🤪 .. never mind ... that was a bad joke ... Don't blame yourself. Poncho is lucky to have you! Now a bath, well I'm not so sure anymore ... 😉 And to answer your question, yes, it is gross 😆 but it triggers me more that you just let your water run ... haven't you learned anything in germany? 😄
I said the same thing to Travis actually. I compared it to a lot of things less important than sweet Panchy 😩 some of them were so small and rotten 😞 Ha ha ha ha. I knew someone was gonna say something about the water. But this faucet is the worst with temperature. Sometimes it turns back on scalding hot and it’s so frustrating. 🫠

Thanks friend 😞 I’ve come to terms with the fact that it just a little dog thing to have bad teeth 😭 but I didn’t know they were THAT bad 😕

Thank you 😞 he’s doing just fine now but it was a punch in the gut for sure 😩
Poor baby I hope poncho feels better

Poor guy!!!
Seeing you sad made me all teared up! I’m sorry friend
I didn’t mean to make you sad 😕 he’s my little baby. 🥹
If you and Travis pcs together for your next assignment where do want to go back too
We will definitely PCS together - we’d like to go somewhere new, anywhere really. But we’d also go back to any of the bases we’ve been too 😌
Cool
