Dos are your best friend. They never argue with you, never insult you, and always wag their tail when you return home. Heck I would just go to the mailbox and walk back home, and the doggie greeeted me like I was gone for a year.
So I wish your dog all the best luck. DO not forget to brush the dog’s teeth. It is the best defense against infections of heart valves, kidneys, etc. not to mention tooth aches which the dog will never complain about.

Good advice from every Veterinarian.
As I’d finish my morning coffee, my dachshund would come to my feet—looking up. I’d pick him up and use the last of my cold coffee (with cream and sugar) and brush his teeth. He’d also report for brushing upon my questioning of him! :)

This is SO true and a lot of people overlook the teeth. I seem to spend a big part of my morning brushing dogs teeth.
A year ago, some scum bag tossed a 10-year old medium size house dog out on the side of the road. She roamed the countryside for two weeks before ending up at my house. She begged and cried to come in, so I let her in. She is the sweetest dog I have ever had. She is perfectly trained. I don’t know why anybody would do this to her. Anyway, I adopted her legally through the Humane Society. Her teeth were terrible. I had them cleaned at a little over $600. She had one pulled. Six months later, last week, I had them done again for another $600. I have been brushing hers and the teeth of my other two housedogs. All three love their tooth brushing. Dogs can get heart issues and other sicknesses from bad teeth just like people can.
