Hello again all,
Thanks again for the reassurance regarding the whole pirhana pup problem, as I said, it was great to hear others' experiences and thoughts.
However, Momo seems to have chipped a tooth! I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but I was checking out her mouth tonight (about as much fun as giving a shark a check-up) and noticed that her front canine is a bit shorter. Is this really really bad?! It's her baby tooth, but can she have done permanent damage?
I sound like a terrible owner, I know, but it's not like we're giving her a Kong stuffed with rocks to chew...She has a fetish for chomping on really inappropriate things, like stones and bits of concrete, metal lead clips, table legs and my OH's free weights (aren't they made of iron?!) >:(
Bah. She is a horrendous cutie, though - we went out for her first walk on Sunday in Battersea Park and she loved it! She also didn't mind being the centre of attention, either. :005:

Not sure that the baby tooth will matter unless it is causing discomfort or pain cos it will drop out in the end. I guess your vet should be able to tell you what to watch out for - ;) I know what you mean about the stones and other things- Dax chomps on our stone step if I don't watch him - I think its something to do with the teething :005: I've bought several nylonbones and keys for him to chomp on - he really likes it when we hold them so he can bite, bite, bite hard on them for ages without them slipping away from him - :005: Your pup sounds like he has lots of character even though he is going through the piranha stage at the moment :005: They certainly keep us on our toes ;)
