Y’all, the House of Lulu has gone to the dogs. And if our dogs continue to have costly health issues, the House of Lulu will be going to the vet…as in, please, Mr. Vet, take my house in exchange for the health care of my wildebeests. No, really. It’s okay. I can’t afford the mortgage anyway.
To start with, Bindi Sue had this sharp, pointy baby tooth that refused to fall out and her adult tooth had grown in beside it. It was not pretty. And you’ll have to take my word for it, because I forgot to take pictures. But, it’s not like I could hold Bindi down long enough to actually take a picture of it. She can sit still for only seconds at a time. I’m surprised that we even found the extra tooth. But we did.
And after we found it, we started blaming all of her bad behavior on the extra tooth. If she tinkled in the house, it was the extra tooth’s fault. If she took something that was off-limits, it was due to the hostile tooth. If she barked incessantly for no reason, we cursed the freaking tooth. You get the picture.
So, week before last, we decided that it was time to get rid of the antagonizer. The tooth, that is…not Bindi. And after a trip to the vet (cha-ching!), the bane of our existence is gone! Just like that. Okay, so maybe not the entire bane of our existence. She’s still a bad dog. But, a very, very cute bad dog:
And one more thing about my little Bindi-boodles, her birthday was Saturday…she’s a one-year old pup now! Happy Birthday Boo-boo!
More tomorrow on Billy Ray’s vet excursion. Which is not very good news, by the way…
Happy Birthday, Bindi. Your very cute. Is it possible that you are emotionally manipulative? The way you play up your cute looks to get away with bad behaviour? I’m just curious. Cos I do the exact same thing.

She’s a year old already? That was fast! Happy Birthday Bindi!
Haappy Birthday Bindi Sue. Gretchen will be 1 in August.
We blame teething for when my kids being a brat too. It’s easier than admitting we’re bad parents…
lol
Happy Birthday Bindi Sue!
Amom’s last blog post..YES I will deny you happiness if that means I can keep my sanity.
Did Bindi get to have a party, with cake and all? If not, it’s not too late. By the way, I like cake and parties. I’m not trying to wrangle an invite out of you or anything because I would never be so tactless. I’m just sharing some things that I like. Cake and parties happening to be a few. I also like chocolate. But don’t feel like you have to rush out and get me some or anything like that.
What were we talking about?
angie’s last blog post..Pain, I can’t get enough!*
my grandmother has a jack russell. he didn’t start being a good dog until he was about 5. and yeah, he failed puppy school. twice.
Hey, Deputy had the same thing with the tooth problem but i fixed it by waiting till it fell out they told me 250 dollars to fix. i got your message about billy ray i called you back but you refused to return the phone call thanks. i know its hard to raise a dog from cute pup to good dog. especially when they are so freaking cute. deputy is just starting to calm down. an he will be 2 in november so good luck with that. bindi looks so old now shes not the same lil puppy. good luck with billy rae
I feel your pain! If only the pets came with health insurance. Glad to hear that Bindi is doing well. Our thoughts are with Billy Ray.
