My little Morkie, Dr. Georgie, isn’t quite the spring chicken he used to be. Or rather, he’s still little, but his whiskers are definitely getting whiter, and his zoomies have been replaced by ‘plop-and-snooze’ sessions. It feels like just yesterday he was a fluffy terror chewing on my favorite slippers, and now he’s a distinguished…

You know that feeling, right? The moment you close the door, and your tiny morkie’s eyes are just *there*, burning a hole through your soul, silently (or not-so-silently) asking, “You’re leaving me?

But beneath that adorable, slightly perpetually surprised expression lies a truth that all small dog owners eventually have to face: tiny mouths mean big dental problems. It’s a cruel irony of the universe that the smallest,…
