This pup I am still trying to home has all 4 puppy canines, no prob right? Except that the bottom ones have turned gray and I assume are being reabsorbed or worn down, they are in there very solid. The tops are almost the same with 1 puppy canine still being white and the other gray. She has plenty of chews and she uses her back teeth on them, when she picks up a toy she whines which leads me to believe the teeth are causing her pain. She is very resistant to me looking in her mouth. Should I be concerned and have a vet take a look or is this normal?? I have never had a dog retain their puppy canines so long or have them go gray. I tried to take a pic but that aint fixin ta happen lol

Some pups retain their puppy canines even longer, but I don't recall ever seeing a gray tooth -- or a few of them.  I would recommend a trip to the vet, although I strongly suspect that if you wait another month they will fall out on their own.

I did have to have oral surgery on one 6 month old once.   But it is pretty rare.

Good luck.

I have seen them turn a certain color.

 I would take her to the vet just make sure everything is ok. And this doesn't sound normal.

They usually pop right out and you'll shortly see new ones.
