I was kept awake half the night last night by the dog.  Well, his breath to be more precise 

It is AWFUL at the moment

Dog breath, in fact

He’s old and his teeth (what teeth he still has) are bad, apart from a few on the bottom

He has had two lots of dental treatment over the last few years and has lost about half of them and now, the remaining few seem to be on the way out as well

He has a gum infection as well and the smell of his breath is quite, quite unbearable 

It fills the room, the house in fact

So, today he went to the vet

He has been booked in for a dental hygiene and I wonder if he will return with any teeth left

The dentist recommends we brush his teeth daily in the meantime to minimise the risk of decay

Well I told him the plan

He just wasn’t having any of it

Although he has promised to floss regularly from now on

And to eat an apple a day
