Scout is probably too old, and Icka too young, but both had their first dental appointment today. They were pretty excited, but the morning had been long, and they had been so naughty, I didn’t know what to expect!
Scout thought he was the cool guy all morning, and teased and teased Icka — to which she responded with screaming!
Then as I was filling out the paperwork for both of them, they were humiliating. You can tell by their demeanor in this picture. By this time, I was hoping for a little poking and prodding in their mouths to set them straight!
Icka went first and was perfect for the dental hygienist! She even got to hold her own straw that sucked up her spit.
But as soon as the hygienist left, I asked for a smile, and this is what I got. See what I mean!
Then Scout went, and he also got to hold his own straw. They both laid perfectly still, and the hygienist kept talking about how good they were being!
He even did everything right during his Xrays.

By the time they were finished, there were three hygienists in there oohing and aahing over them. And they kept talking about how kind and nice they were to each other, and how they were perfect during their exams. I was thrilled that by the time we left, they seemed to have changed their ways, and were trying to be good. (Con Artists!) Unfortunately, as soon as we left that office, Scout ran down the hallway to push the elevator button that I had already promised to Icka — and she melted down! What a bunch of two-faced weasels who really know how to charm others. Unfortunately, I know how to charm myself — by putting them both down for naps the second we got home!
