This is such a weird story. Just have to tell you guys.
Last night after dinner I noticed Tommy wasn't around anywhere so I looked around for him and found him laying in his bed in the back room. This is unusual for him as he generally always stays as close as he can to wherever me or David are. I still didn't think too much of it at the time. I leaned down and gave him a few pats on the head and went back to what I was doing.
Two hours later I noticed he still wasn't around and I went back and he was still laying in his bed in the back room. I gave him some more pets and coaxed him to come with me and he followed me back to the room I was in and layed down at my feet. I thought he seemed kind of depressed.
After another hour I called them to go out. He got up and walked to the door, ignoring his soccer ball on the way, which is TOTALLY unlike him. He usually RUNS to the door and grabs his ball taking it with him. By this time my worry has grown and I take him downstairs to talk to David about him.
He gets downstairs and while I'm talking, just lays by Daddy's chair. Usually he is wriggling and play-growling and trying to play with everyone. I tell David he's acting really depressed, not playful or wagging or his normal self at all. David talks and coos at him and pets him. Then he puts his hand down in front of Tommy's nose where normally Tommy will cover it in slobbery kisses. Tommy just kind of sniffed at his hand, and looked up at him.
David starts getting as worried as I am and he opens Tommy's mouth, we're looking in his mouth and suddenly we see...
A small piece of plastic, like a little plastic lid of something, stuck to the side of his tongue. David picks it off, and Tommy immediately lights up. He begins wriggling and growling, runs up to get his ball... :o
I still can hardly believe it! If he had made faces or been pawing at his mouth or something I would have known something was up, but he never did! He just seemed depressed that something was wrong with his mouth and he couldn't get that little plastic off that was suctioned onto his tongue.
So David said as we were heading back upstairs to go out, "Maybe that will teach him not to put everything in his mouth."
Not likely :rolleyes:
