Pat's wonderful thread about his kitty inspired me for funny pet stories. Here is mine:
I posted in Pat's thread about Katie and thought I would share this story about one of her adventures. Years back, Katie had been playing (wrestling) in the backyard with Scooter. She comes in the house and she is shaking her head and opening and closing her mouth. We could hear her jaw clicking as she opened and closed. All we could think of was that somehow she may have broken her jaw playing with Scooter. We called our vet at home and told him what was wrong with her. He told us that he would meet us at the office. So, we piled into the car with Katie and rushed her to his office. In the examination room, he opens her mouth and asks us if she has had any dental work. Dental work? we asked him. He said there is a crown on one of her back teeth and that was preventing her from closing her mouth and would explain the clicking noise we heard. He pried off the crown and gave it to my husband. It turned out the crown was his! A few days earlier one of his crowns had fallen out and he had placed it on top of the dishwasher. Somehow it fell off the dishwasher and Katie must have thought is was food and picked it up and somehow that crown fell perfectly flush onto one of her back teeth! To this day we still have Katie's/DH's crown.
