I just got a phone call from the vet's office and my heart stopped. Thankfully they started out with "Ripley is fine" so that I could exhale. He is apparently under anesthesia now and the vet has found that he still has 3 baby teeth in his upper jaw. His second teeth are in so there is quite a bit of crowding. He just wanted my permission to remove these teeth. Whew! I knew I wouldn't be hearing from them until later this afternoon so for a minute my heart stopped! Maybe he is younger that we all thought he was.
