He's just smiling


This is one of my 6 month old pups and everytime he does not want to go out or he gets into trouble and knows I'm gonna yell at him, he will roll over onto his back and look up at me with this face and "that grin". No other dog I've had has ever done this. I'm thinking, there were 5 pups in this litter and he is the only one that grins like that. The light from the camera makes his eyes glow and someone told me, "that dog looks possessed".

I know that pups lose their baby teeth usually between 4-7 months old and I wondered if these were his permanent or baby teeth. So I look into his mouth and lo-and-behold all his adult teeth are in, but the problem is - NONE of his baby teeth have fallen out yet! He has two complete sets of teeth, one behind the other, just like a shark. Poor thing, has eight K-9 teeth and he has trouble closing his mouth. None of the baby teeth seem to be very loose either. I'll give it another couple of weeks to see if they start coming out on their own, otherwise it'll be a trip to the vet. Meanwhile, I'll be living with my puppy that smiles.
