The Snaggle Tooth Monster has been subdued, or defeated, or transformed, or something. No matter how you look at it, there is no more Snaggle Tooth.
It was quite a battle, let me tell you.
Signe had the first go at it. . .
She made a valiant effort.
Then Rob offered to take a wack at it. . .
But Signe was resistant to the idea.
Then she agreed to let him have a try. . .
But---"One minute, one minute, one minute." was her oft repeated reply.
The battle raged back and forth, first Sig, then Rob, then---"ONE minute, one minute, ONE MINUTE!!" stopped him in his tracks.
Bribes where uttered, challenges accepted, attempts were made. . . and deflected.
Until finally. . . FINALLY (after much exhaustion and suggestions of calling off the troops) to the relief of all. . .
A trick move won the day!
Rob told Signe: Just put your tooth in the tissue while I hold it. I won't pull.
She did, hesitantly. Then last minute changed her mind and jerked her head back---popping the tooth (gripped in Rob's fingers) right out!
"OH!" She exclaimed in surprise. "I didn't know. . . it didn't hurt. . . I didn't know. . ." giggle, giggle--big grin. "It came out! That wasn't so bad!"
And it only took a bribe of candy, or small toy, and 25 minutes of heavy battle and quick witted negotiations.
All so the Snaggle Tooth Monster could once again become a cute toothless little girl. . . who whistles when she talks.

She is still beautiful. I noticed some marks under and over her eye. Did she get too close to one of the puppies?
I am pretty sure those are from Addie--he thinks since Signe is closest to his size she is his play mate, only he plays a little rough. When I scold him for biting her she gets upset at me and says: "Be nice to him. He doesn't know better, he's just a puppy!"
