Toy Time With Roadie... And The Tooth Fairy!

Hmmm... who wants to play chew-chew today?

Roadie's toys are all fair game for rounds of tug-o-war and chewing, but he does have a couple of favorites...



Mr. Turtle was one of the first and is still hanging on by a thread...

Roadie enjoys a tumble with this lion toy.  A good choice for a "Lion Dog"!

Roadie learned how to bite the lion's paw to get a growling sound effect... Grrrrr!

We were a little alarmed when we first found a tooth after Roadie had been chewing on rawhides and wrestling his toys earlier this month... After a couple of internet searches, we learned that puppies shed their baby teeth when permanent ones are growing in, much like people do!  The process for them takes place much more quickly since their aging and growth is on a different timetable than ours.  It is sometimes hard to see the evidence of this process taking place, as dogs may often swallow the tooth, or lose it while outside.  Roadie just happened to lose a tooth while playing inside!  Any other canine tooth fairies out there?
