Yes.. the stupid little angry dog is still taking her medication... but what a pain... You know every one wants a 'smart dog'... how many times have you played hide and seek with your pooch and when they finally do find you as you hide behind the bathroom door you liberally praise them... "Good dog... Good girl... you found me!" followed by a doggie treat... Well.. you know what... there is something to be said for keeping your dog dumb as a post...
Take our lovely little Gretchen... (please..) and while you have her see if YOU can get her to take her pill! She's just gotten way too smart... mix the contents of the capsule with food and she hides... try hiding the whole capsule in a nice juicy roll of lunch meat?? Yeah.. good luck.. she's taken to shaking her food before she eats it... that's right... no matter how yummy the food... or how hungry she is.. she now gingerly picks up the piece of Smoked Ham by the edge and gives it a liberal shake before eating it as we helplessly watch the little blue capsule go flying thru the air.... foiled again... so.. plan D...
Now we feed her on the front porch in front of the barn cats hoping she will be so intent on getting the food before those freakin' cats that she will just gobble it down and not do her little head-shake routine... guess again... she now grabs the meat before the cats can... runs off the porch to a 'safe cat-less' location... shakes it.. then eats it... *sigh... This morning alone it took 4 slices of ham and half of a bratwurst sausage to get that pill into her...
Currently she's snoozing on the sofa and intermittently licking the yummy meat grease off of her face as Mr. 9 2 Bay and I eat our cold cereal and prepare to go to work for the day... As I look at her happy sleepy greasy face I swear she's thinking... "So who's stupid now lady?"
Later...
