The Al-Centennial
Well, after about an hour and a half and two downloaded programs I finally figured out how to post pictures to the blog. And no you can't just cut and paste. Sometime in mid-February, we will be celebrating the Al-Centennial. He'll be 100 in dog years. Not bad for a dog who once jumped out of a moving car, was hit by a car, and was also lost in the woods for several days before being found eating out of a horse feeder. Today Al the Dog had oral surgery and his last upper canine was removed. Al suffers from a disease where he has become allergic to the tartar on his teeth, it is called CUPS or Chronic Ulcerative Paradental Stomatitis. Our new dog dentist has recommended a more aggresive treatment (i.e. removing more of his teeth). Total bill: $1,201. Below is a picture of the great fang, sans Al.

Al is doing fine and is looking forward to the Al-Centennial.

Studying the photo provided, it is my professional veterinary belief that the more likely disease in this case is DIPP (Deep In Pet-Owner Pockets). For further analysis, prepare tooth by drilling a small hole through its thickest end and drawing a leather string through same -- forward immediately to 31 N. Skinker Street, St. Louis, MO, c/o 1998.
I look forward to the Al-Centennial, if for no other reason than if I had been Al's owner, we would have opted for the $49.95 permanent nap/good-bye a long time ago. Two go out, only one comes back.
Due to an error, the picture of the Great Fang was deleted. I've re-posted on the "Great Fang" post.
