I’ve always wanted to teach my dog how to ‘smile’ on command, but I don’t know how to go about doing it. Any tips, Mr. Charisma Lab? (or, y’know, Charisma Lab’s owner(s)?)
I can remember when toothpaste was a luxury item in England, Sharpy, at least where and when I grew up. We used to have to use our finger rubbed in baking soda. Now Arm and Hammer charge a tidy amount for baking soda-enhanced toothpaste. Grandmother actually did know best. Funny old world, innit?
Looxury! We used to scrape our teeth with a broken twig, and glad we were to get it! We also used to eat the scrapings, no point in letting them go to waste.
i had the same experience, actually. my dentist recommended baking soda, so i skipped toothpaste for a long while. then the fad faeries did their magic and voila! baking soda toothpaste! do you have Avon there? (not the bard one, the beauty care products?) they had a facial moisturizer product, “skintastic,” that was well-known as a mosquito repellent in the netherworld of cheapskate backpackers. now it’s officially a bug product. i wonder if crest will ever find out that their regular toothpaste is a good blemish killer the way preparation H is a model’s secret for under-eye bags?
Reminds me of packing for my trip to Australia, and my BF looking over my toiletries, e.g. toothpaste, etc., said “You do know we have that over there, don’t you?”
“Everybody has to go to the dentist twice a year for a cleaning. I’m just back from visiting mine, see how white and shiny my teeth are?”
“And if you don’t give me some room here, I’ll polish these teeth on you like I did on the dentist!”
In Other news… This is the exact same smile m oldest daughter used to make when she had to smile for the camera from about 2 years old until 4. Totally cracked me up seeing it on the pupperoni here.
Wow!!!! What pretty teeth you have……
Orbit cleans another dirty mouth.
“FABULOUS!”
What a cheesy grin!
“You son of a biscuit eating bulldog!”
“Who are you calling a cootie queen, you lint licker?!”
“Pickle you – kumquat!”
(that’s really all I can remember)
I love that commercial! Puts a grin on my face not unlike Smiley Dawg in the photo.
Crest White Strips does it again.

There’s the hard way… or the easy way: http://www.upsidedowndogs.com
It’s all a matter of orientation.
there’s a website dedicated to pictures of upsidedown dog heads? of course there is.
Silly question. (Sorry, Sharpy, but it had to be said).
Really.
i can be silly.
I thought being silly was a prerequisite around here?
Yes, but what’s the hard way? I want to do it the gravity-defying way, instead of the gravity-following way.
That is an upside-down pineapple dog smile.
ACK! Mad ear worm in the hovertext!! Darn you, Pyrit!
And just so everyone knows, the actual lyrics are, “Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.”
there has got to be a name for earworms unleashed by merely reading the lyrics. and then it should be a warning.
Well, I’ve got “Razzle Dazzle” from “Chicago” stuck in my head now.
P.S. You never really get rid of earworms. You just exchange them for new ones.
I always heard it as “wrapped up like a douche”.
Oh don’t tell me it wasn’t “Cut loose like a douche.”
You’ll wonder where the yellow went when you brushed your teeth with Pepsodent.
Pupsodent? Dental Lab approved.
you’ve got toothpaste in england?!
sorry, i go for the softballs every time.

I used to use baking soda and salt dipped in lemon juice – brush during the fizz. Cleanest teeth you can get outside a professional cleaning.
Yes, but would you be able to unscrew your face afterwards?

where were we? oh, cute stuff!
Sharpy – Your teeth are like the stars, they come out at night…snerk:)
As I was emoticoning
YAR!
Reminds me of packing for my trip to Australia, and my BF looking over my toiletries, e.g. toothpaste, etc., said “You do know we have that over there, don’t you?”
Perhaps that should be…when you’ve…
Cheeeeeez!
I saw a video on AHV once of a Golden Retriever that they’d trained to smile, and when they told him to “do Elvis,” he’d quirk his upper lip.
Those are some clean teeth! That doggie has a good owner.
love the cute pink and black nose, and it deserves a big BEEP!

Smile! your on Candid Camera!!!
You mean Canid Camera?
In Other news… This is the exact same smile m oldest daughter used to make when she had to smile for the camera from about 2 years old until 4. Totally cracked me up seeing it on the pupperoni here.
Is that a sparkle I see on that left canine ? Oh wait, no that’s my cursor dang !
“Smile when you say that”…so s/he did!
My what clean white teefy!
“CHEEZ!”
Smile, and the world smiles with you!
Fart, and you stand alone.
And then blame it on the smiling dog?
Exactly!
Those are the whitest dog teeth I have ever seen.
Ah say, senatuh…
“Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear, and he shows them, pearly white”
Ting!
What a cute smile .
OMG Labs are THE BEST there should be a law against people like me not being able to own one GAH!
