wallace's annual checkup
Our boy's a bruiser! Wallace weighed in at 35 lbs today, so we'll probably be lightening his meals a little in the coming weeks to help him take off a few pounds. (30-32lbs is our target range.) In addition to getting a few shots and a thorough checkup, he also had a portion of his upper left carnassial tooth removed. Some time around Christmas, he broke the tooth, and we discovered the damage on the 27th. Mind you, it hadn't slowed his eating or other activities! Had you or I experienced similar damage we'd be writhing in pain (scenes from Marathon Man come to mind...) but Wallace showed no signs of discomfort, and we only discovered the problem during his weekly tooth inspection.
Wallace is a little groggy tonight because he was sedated during the dental work, but we expect he'll be back to running the house in a day or two.
