So I'm told I still have "work to do" on the dental hygiene front.
It started so promisingly. I grabbed this toothbrush off the kitchen counter and set to work, all on my own initiative.
Apparently I had "got hold of the wrong end of the stick". But even when I tried chewing the other end, Gail was not happy.
"NAUGHTY NOBBY! LEAVE IT ALONE FOR *****'S SAKE, THAT'S THE TOOTHBRUSH I USE FOR CLEANING MY BICYCLE CHAIN!"
When Gail approaches with what, according to her, is the proper tooth cleaning apparatus, I try to bite her fingers, and most of the toothpaste ends up in my beard.
PS from Gail: I've attempted to clean Nobby's teeth with a normal toothbrush too, but he's even more resistant to letting me near his mouth with that in my hand! He does get dental chews on a regular basis.
Oh Nobby, didn't Gail appreciate that you were just trying to save her a job? Mind you, that probably wasn't a good idea to use the toothbrush she uses to clean her bicycle chain. I mean, you could have damaged the bristles and Gail would have been very cross! It's a sad fact that sometimes our humans just don't realise that we're only trying to help.
ReplyDeleteDoes toothpaste taste good enough to eat? I just get a dental chew every evening after I've had my last meal.
Love,

it works now in our crib with the toothbrush and the thing for the finger. we have no clue why, but after biggest drama we are fine now wit the teeth cleaning (magic tooth paste?)
ReplyDeletePoor Nobby - you were only trying (really trying!) If dental chews do the trick, then that's the way to go - and they preserve Gail's fingers.
ReplyDeletei had no idea they make thimble tooth brushes and now wonder why we humans could not use one. You did a great job Nobby on that bike chain brush. you still have "puppy" in you is what I think.
ReplyDeleteGrrrr toothpaste. I perfectly understand why you wouldn't want to participate in that activity Nobby. Paw smacks Mr T (who knows that 7, and no fewer, treats must always follow the toothpaste application.)
ReplyDeleteNobby Nobby Nobby...OMDs Gail's bike chain brush. My mind's eye sees Gail giving you a chase thru the gardens, which by the way is 187% better than chasing a WFT on the train platform...Just sayin...:-)
ReplyDeleteI once tried to brush Angel Madi's teeth with the finger brush. Not only did she bit thru it to my finger she also had a death grip on my wrist preventing me from pulling away. Evidently she loved the fishy flavor of the paste.
After googling the pineberries, I might have been been tempted to buy them except for the price $8.00. Red strawberries same size are $4.99

ReplyDeleteWell....Nobby.... 😶🌫 You blotted the copy book again, heh na? Deary me. Of course, chewing sticks is the natural tooth maintenance activity for dogs, but the way you get through them, Gail would have to order a truck load... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
You were not only using the wrong end of the stick but a dirty stick too, Nobby. We hope you didn't get any bicycle grease on your teeth. BOL!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine that dirty toothbrush tasted good, Nobby!
ReplyDeleteOh Nobby, I have the same issues...if only they would let us brush our teeth on our own terms!!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Sunny
I think you have come up with something brilliant. A dog tooth brush and the end of it is a Greenie. Let's market that and make a million.
ReplyDeleteGood job Nobby! Mom tried to brush my teeth too, but with little success...now it's dental rinse in my water and yummy dental bones, so I think I won the battle!
