Broken Teeth and Rain

Some days I just feel soggy. Today is one of those days.

Our yellow lab somehow broke a tooth over the weekend, we assume while chasing after a tennis ball. He gave us no indication that he had hurt anything, but after we got home he began constantly putting his tongue in and out of his mouth. For a little while we thought he just had something on his tongue but we couldn't see anything.

Then we saw his lower left front tooth. The top of the tooth is just gone. The vet couldn't see him until today, and so this afternoon we'll find out how bad it is. Our dog hasn't been his normal high-energy self, so I suspect that tooth has been hurting.

This is one of those days for me where a statement made by Marc Riboud, a famous photographer, takes on new meaning.

"To see well is to have a free mind, and good legs and
good shoes. Photography is walking down muddy streets."


Live well today.
