Cross-Border Stress!

We had a tense weekend after DOD lost his tooth on Friday evening. It didn't hurt or anything but he was embarrassed with his gap-tooth smile and it didn't help that it was Halloween weekend and lots of people were trying to look just like him! When he smiled they all waved back and gave him the 'thumbs-up' sign.

So they went to a Dentist on the other side of the border today in Nogales, Mexico. Mom checked them all out and they looked just fine...lots of positive reviews etc...and she chose the best one. I wasn't happy that Me and Lacey had to stay home.....I mean we have all heard about how dangerous it is in Mexico and to think of those two heading off without MY protection made me feel quite ill.

It didn't make me feel any better when I heard Mom tell DOD to leave a door unlocked in case they didn't make it home early and she had to phone Frances and Cathy to let Me and Lacey out! I think she was scared they would not get back alive!

Me and Lacey paced back and forth while they were gone. We ran around and savaged our toys...ate all our stash of treats...checked Mom's crochet stash and re-arranged it... and I peed on the upstairs carpet to warn off any and all predators that this was not a burglar friendly home.

We were rather surprised when they arrived home after only three hours...one of which they had spent having lunch at Wisdom's Cafe in Tumacacori.  They had NOT been abducted OR kidnapped OR shot... DOD's tooth  was back in his mouth and it looked just great. They did NOT bring treats.

I ask you, wouldn't you have been just as worried as Me and Lacey? Is this any way to treat your fur kids?

Anyway, I think they were impressed with the evidence of our concern.
