Casey has decided that Banta’s ear is the best chew toy. It is rare these days for Banta’s ears not to have slobber on them either wet or dry. I’ve been discouraging it but Banta doesn’t seem to mind so it is hard to catch Casey chewing on them. They seem to be quietly hanging out together and the next thing I know is Casey is at it again. Well today I had already cleaned Banta’s ears off several times when just before Casey and I were ready to head off for puppy class, I was in for a shock. Banta’s ear was bright red. Apparently Casey is in the middle of loosing a tooth and she left behind as much blood as she did dog slobber!

Chewing on a Chair
One of Casey’s biggest challenges at this age is learning when she just needs to settle and lay down quietly at our feet when we are out socializing. I think with age she will do better. It also helps when Banta is there to show her by example. Casey went to choir practice with me today and was doing ok but not great. Toward the end I thought she was happily chewing on her nylabone when I looked down again and realized she was actually happily chewing on a wooden chair leg! She managed to put quite a few teeth marks in three sides of the chair leg. I think some sand paper and an appropriate colored marker should make things look pretty good again. They joys of being a puppy raiser!
