Mokume lost his first tooth!

Oh they grow so fast! *lol* So Moko turned 15 weeks old on Tuesday, and the day after that, yesterday, he lost his first tooth! One of his upper, widdle teeny middle fwont teef. 
I can already see a spot of white in the pocket where the big-boy tooth is starting to show through, and the real miracle? I actually have the baby tooth! *lol* My son, who hasn't started losing teeth yet, but who has older friends who have started that process, wanted to know if he could put Moko's tooth under his pillow for the tooth fairy. I had to explain that it's Mokume's tooth, and trying to fake out the tooth fairy with substitutions is poor-form, and she's too smart to fall for it anyway... and he'll just have to wait until he starts to lose his own.
It's kinda cool, I know puppies teethe and lose teeth all the time, but rarely are those found! They usually get swallowed or chewed or are left behind somewhere they won't be seen, (after all, dogs don't feel a need to hang onto it for the tooth fairy!) So I was kind of shocked and amazed to actually have this thing.
He was doing one of his free-play sessions in the kitchen, chasing his Chobani yogurt container around the floor, when he paused and was doing that dog-with-peanut-butter licking, chewing, air-biting, thing. Then I heard a tiny clicking sound as something hit the floor, so I dove for it before he could get it, thinking maybe he'd worked a scrap of plastic off the container and I didn't want him to swallow it, especially since he's still recovering from the acute inflammitory gastroenteritis. I was examining it, then looked in his mouth and noticed the litte gap in front.
