Bentley our once-blind Yorkie apparently heard that Wilbur got plenty of points for the "cuteness factor" with his tongue sticking out all the time, so he's showing us he can be just as darn cute with his tongue. We had to do about $700 worth of oral surgery on Bentley while he was still with the rescue group in Louisiana because his mouth was such a mess. He had lots of teeth removed in the process, allowing room for a free-flowing tongue to escape. So what he lost in teeth ... well, yes, he made up for in cuteness.
Just received your newsletter in the mail! Great stories and photos, as usual. The story of Bugsy brought tears to my eyes all over again.

I thought Small Change was letting me know what she thought of the menu. The vet assured me it was the loss of teeth. Hugs all around!

Nice little summer hair cut doesn't hurt either. Cutie pie.

Cuteness does indeed garner extra camera time! We share our home with rescue pugs who are poster children for the "tongues gone wild" club. That said, their cuteness Q has doubled since the loss of teeth. So you just work it and rock on, Bentley!!!

I'd really be interested to know if Bentley interacts differently with the other dogs since he had his sight restored. And in that photo he looks like he has his summer hair-do already.

Very cute! And that's a handsome new hairdo, too.

He is so very cute! The competition is fierce for cuteness!

He's happy and home that's all that counts :)
