Way too long...

It has been way too long since my last post! Neumann is now almost 7 months. He is growing like a week! About three weeks ago, I had my other dogs to the vet and had the vet also look at Neumann's teeth. For some reason, his lower canine didn't push out far enough at it was hitting on the roof of his mouth making a hole next to his upper canine. So, off to a veterinary dentist. We decided that braces were out with a $4000-$5000 price tag and not so much fun for Neumann. I left him at the vet that day and the following day he had a crown reduction with vital pulpotomy. Basically they clipped the canine and then put a crown on it. I had hoped for a gold crown but it is just white and you can hardly see it. For $1500 you should be able to see it! So, he is a much happier boy now, takes his treats like a shark and has much more energy all around! His contact training is coming along, he has a release word and the beginnings of a stay. He loves tunnels and slamming the teeter totter board! He is going to be very fast! He barked at me for the first time last night while he was running.

Off to class for Neumann and I. More later
