I Love the Dentist!!
I took my sweet little Fox Mulder to the vet this past weekend- he has an injury to his eye which had me really worried, but should heal, thank heaven. While we were there and had him sedated, he had his teeth floated-- filed down. This is a regular part of horse life, and as they get older, it has to be done more often so they can continue chewing their food. I took this little photo of Fox so that we humans can greater appreciate our visits to the dentist. Yeah, that's a power drill, and yes, that is a 40 pound speculum forcing his jaws open. Lucky, lucky humans.

There was this one time in the driveway of the yellow house after a knee injury to one great white horse that we had all the little girls of the Riggs and Adolphson family holding up the body of the sleeping beast. Good time, good times.
I randomly stumbled on your blog . . . or not so randomly . . . let's just say it was a series of coordinated events that led me to your blog. It made me very happy to remember that you exist. And you work with animals. You are forever and always my heroine. Here's to the memories! Much love from NYC.
No FREAKING way, jason d.b. I LOVE you. And there is no randomness in the eternal friendship which is US. I am so glad you came to visit here at my House. I send you much, much love...
Little Jason pops up at the most unexpected moments! Now if he’d just tell us about his nipple debacle…
I went to the dentist on Wednesday (for the first time in a LONG TIME). It was actually quite pleasant, and no one filed down my teeth (even my fangs). I do have a tiny cavity, which will be fixed next week (cavity NUMBER THREE).
I must tell you, I’d never EVER had a cavity until I was almost thirty (the day before I TURNED 30 they told me about my second cavity). I asked why I was getting cavities THEN – as I’d never had a single one (and I floss EVERY DAY and practice correct oral hygiene, damn it). They told me my teeth were getting old. I kid you not.
