Is that tooth an "incisor", "canine", or "K-9"?

I needed to get that clarified.... so Bucky accompanied me to my dentist appointment.

I wasn't sure how Bucky would react to the sounds, smells, latex gloves and goggles. He's very calm and takes most things in stride, so I was FAIRRRRLY confident he'd be just fine and I wasn't TOOOO worried.

Having said that, it is still ALWAYS a bit stressful taking him into a new situation, especially one that he NEEDS to be a VERY good boy.

But this outing is a bit different, because once I'm sitting in the chair with tools and fingers in my mouth, I can't keep tabs on him or remind him that he needs to be good.

Welllll....... Bucky wasn't too keen on "staying" at first, but once he realized I wasn't going anywhere he settled right in.

So much so, that between naps he enjoyed supervising the birds outside.

Once we were finished I took Bucky's vest off and everyone loved on him for being such a good boy.

All of these exposures will add up to a confident dog that will be able to adjust to any situation that he will encounter in his future career - whatever it may be.

Many thanks to Dr Mike Wong and his staff for welcoming and accommodating Bucky.

P.S. Bucky was very relieved and grateful that no one wanted to get him into a set of braces.
