10. Greenies? You check his teeth?

I used to on occasion give Princess Peanut, part greyhound, a meat covered femur from the butcher as a treat & tooth cleaning device. It worked until, in her enthusiasm, she cracked her tooth. Blood from her mouth drew fast attention and a vet visit & a tooth extraction. That was costly.
I got a rubber finger& dog toothpaste& once a wk made her unhappy. She did like the greenie after though.
That expression is.one I have seen.
