10-months old

Samantha turned 10-months old today. She is doing great. We were going to take her camping two weekends ago, but the weather was too cold (low was 49) and then Ella (our dog) got sick. Ella broke a tooth, had diarrhea, and had an ear infection. Ella had to have a root canal on her bottom canine because her root was exposed. We chose to try to preserve what was left of the tooth rather than extract it. Hopefully the root canal is successful. Other than the ear infection Ella seems to be back to normal. For awhile she wouldn't drink water because of her tooth pain. We were told (by the vet) her teeth are weak and she is a ticking time bomb for future broken teeth. No ice cubes or nylon bones for her.
