Jack is seriously orthodontically challenged and the net result, as you can see, is the hanging tongue! I couldn’t resist this shot.
He was already 10 years old when his last owner passed on and we rescued him. Sadly, she didn’t seem to think that his rotting and infected teeth were a problem and the poor dog must have been in frequent pain over the years. He now just has a couple left at the front so whenever he lays on his side… out slips the tongue!
He often lays directly on the floor with the tongue scraping the carpet! You’d think that would be a really uncomfortable feeling – after all the nerves on a tongue are very sensitive. But he doesn’t seem to care. Actually, Jack doesn’t really care about much except food and getting out and about a couple of times a day.
Ah… the old ETS problem! (Escaped Tongue Syndrome…)
Cute pic! Give him & Renie some scritches from me please!!
