Random word: 154: “snaggletooth”

Surprisingly, Charlie didn’t dwell on the loss of his cabin or contents, and instead threw himself into helping me renovate the old fishing shack.

Lucky ran in and out playing, and chasing the odd mouse, lizard, or insect that had been disturbed from its hiding place.

The young cat was in the process of losing, and replacing, his baby teeth. One loose incisor was currently jutting out at weird angle giving him quite a unique appearance.

Letting his guard down, and showing his lighter more humorous side, Charlie said to the kitten, “I here-by christen you Sir Snaggletooth Tiger.”
