Mojo's Gets a New Grill

http://www.standard.net/slideshows/2011/09/01/mojo-gets-some-bling-sept-1-2011

Mojo received his new teeth today, from Summit Dental.  He was put under general anesthesia for the procedure and it is a good thing. 

Here, Dr. Scot J. Neil, D.D.S. shows Mojo's new golden grill!

Mojo did great through his dental procedures.  He will take a day or so to recover before going back to work and training.  Thanks again, Summit Dental!

This dog meant business before the gold teeth.  But now . . . . . just sayin'.

Goin' for the gold!
