and in one of them she needs what they are calling a "baby root canal",
although it's apparently not really a root canal but a pulpectomy (sp?).
Anyway, after having a traumatic time at the dentist I have ...

After diner last night I fed the dog, adding a few pan drippings to his
kibble sweeten the pot so to speak.  I had no more than walked back into the
kitchen to start the dishes when i turned to see him seated a few feet away
from his diner dish.  There, rapidly scarfing up his diner ...

before they discover girls?  DS is *so* interested in ...
