Donna, He did go to the dentist right accross from his ENT, he told him no none at all...at least that's what Ron told me, I need to go with him more often to doc apts, but my job prevents me seeing I am really the sole provider and I have a house I have to pay mortgage on. And funny cuz Ron says our dog is a show off when he gives her a Milkbone treat her tongue goes crazy licking a million times a minute when you stick it in front of her face and he tells her to quit showing off! Ya he does sound like he is deaf too when he talks. There are days I can hardly understand him and other days I can perfectly.
