So sorry to hear your news JackieO, how you will all miss your much loved pet. Having been a coupleof weeks ago to St Helens, what a lovely place to let him go.

I'm sure you being the lovely family you seem, you will all love and support each other.

Hi Chums finally got home .the day seemed to go from bad to worse .My son-in-law Simon managed to work from home as DD had an emergency dental appointment this afternoon which I took her too.

She has had three teeth playing her up one on the right at the back bottom and on on top and bottom on the left.She was so down when we got there as she really hates dentists and knew that she really needed to have three out and they were going to do three seperate appointments, but couldn't do the first until the end of August, and had put a temporary filling in last week(which fell out two days later .

She had been in pain since last Saturday and managed to get an emergency one this afternoon.I went in with her because she is really quite phobic about dentists having had a dreadful experience waking up halfway through a wisdom tooth extraction with the dentist (not our present one )almost kneeling on her chest to get it out and yelling at her to keep still !!!

This chap was brilliant though and when he said shall I take just the one out she said 'I feel so fed up take the three out as I'm here and my mouth will be numbed anyway' .
So the first two came out quickly but the last one was so deep rooted he had to drill and cut her gum about, and it took him 25 minutes to get it all out.

I have never ever seen such a huge root on any tooth before it was enormous, no wonder it had been giving her so much pain Even the dentist said he had never seen one so deep-rooted one.

She ended up coming home with all three out and 5 stitches in her gum and a prescription of antibiotics just in case bless her.

I spent the next couple of hours with her head on my lap just stroking her head with a flannel.

Doesn't matter that she is the wrong side of 40 and a good four inches taller than me, she is still my baby and was in pain,not only from her teeth, but from losing her old pal, her dog, whom she saw and rescued because she said he 'smiled' at her in the rescue centre 16 years ago.

He really was a dear old dog and so gentle when her children were babies and growing up, and I speak as someone who isn't much of a dog lover at all .Even I liked him because he was so 'smiley'.

I left her and the family still feeling a bit traumatised,but they will be fine .
Her little Jack Russell, Lexi though is looking a bit lost, as the old dog Ollie was the one she would snuggle up to for warmth in their basket and she has been with him from the age of 8 weeks (she is now 7)The boys have been making a fuss of her and playing quite a bit with her as well as I said she will be feeling a bit strange without her pal as well.

just another day in the life of the mad lot I call my family, bless them ,like all of us on here I would walk through fire rather than see them in pain or sad, but like was once said 'tomorrow is another day' and fingers crossed it will be better than today

Thank you all for your good wishes for my family ,you are all so kind and I do appreciate it

God bless you all

Just make sure she takes the antibiotics as " dry sockets" is not something I would wish on anybody.
