Holy Molar!

Sparky: On Monday mommy woke up to a very scary scene... Robert crying in his crib with his face & mouth covered in blood. This was very horrifying for our mommy. With tears in her eyes she picked my little brother up. Robert proceeded to throw his head back as part of the tantrum & mommy instantly saw the cause of the blood & his discomfort. He got his 1st molar. Now we have been dealing with these 4 little beasts for a few weeks & have had little points starting to show through on the bottom gums, but this was different. It looked like someone took a tooth & put it in the middle of a pound of raw hamburger. Mommy grabbed a cold, wet wash cloth & the baby Tylenol then went to work cleaning Robert up. Of course our trauma doesn't end there. Robert has been sick since this mean tooth tore up his little mouth. Since mommy had heard the stories of the diarrhea associated with the molars she didn't think anything of his constant dirty diapers the 1st day. As the week has continued it has become obvious that our poor little boy has a tummy virus on top of his mouth pain... well its that or my parents are way too empathetic of Robert's pain & decided to get sympathy stomach cramps & frequent trips to the potty as well. It's times like this that make me very happy I am a dog. Our puppy teeth don't cause a great amount of pain & we can't catch viruses from our owners.
