Peer Pressure
Sol's arrival at the OBP household and her pickiness seems to have brought out the finicky side in Luna. Before, Sol arrived, Luna ate everything the boys ate with only a few exceptions. I think it is because the boys really know how to sell a treat. Their excitement for even the most routine treats has never faded and Luna was always like, well if they love it so much, I guess I should too.
I first noticed Luna picking up on some of Sol's picky eating habits at breakfast. Before Sol, everyone got a piece of banana with a few cheerios sprinkled on top. Benjamin, Henry & Luna all ate their treats. When Solsey came along we offered her the same morning treat. From day one she turned her nose up at it. Fast forward a week and suddenly Luna wants nothing to do with her banana & cheerio treat in the morning. It was like a little light bulb went off in her head and she quickly realized she didn't have to eat everything the boys eat. There are a few other things that Luna doesn't like any more now that Sol has come along.
We'd better be careful or pretty soon the girls may stage a revolt. Better treats for divas!

The Tongue
During her last teeth cleaning, Sol had her last remaining canine tooth removed on the top. It was in such bad shape that it just had to be pulled. She doesn't seem to miss the tooth too much and the only noticeable difference is that her tongue peeks out from time to time.
Tongue lag, as my veterinarian calls it, was one of the most noted side effects of her jaw surgery and was a change that we were warned about in all the pre-surgery meetings. However, Sol did not experience any tongue lag after a part of her lower jaw was removed. The only noticeable difference was a little lip pout which isn't even noticeable from aftar. And while I am on the subject of her jaw surgery, I have been meaning to send a thank you card to her surgeon. Every veterinarian that has since looked at Sol's jaw has commented on what an excellent job the surgeon did. I agree 100% and while I can't rattle off a list of medical reasons on why it was such a good job, I think it was such a great job because the surgery hasn't slowed Sol down one bit. Her recovery was quick and it took very little time for her to adjust to her new mouth.
So from time to time, Solsey's little tongue will be sticking out. She rarely leaves it that way for long, but I think it just adds to her charm.
