We're having a fun day preparing for a special birthday party tomorrow. Cuddy helped us in the kitchen, laying right beside me. We've got the pill-giving down to a science already, and so far he is tolerating them well.
The ideal way to give a pet meds is to crush the pill and mix it into tiny meat balls of canned dog food. Put them in a small dish and leave it somewhere for him/her to find. By doing that, they think they've discovered something all by themselves. The meat balls will get gobbled up and the dish licked clean. Easy-peasy. One of his pills is a gel type that can't be crushed, but he's taking it just fine in the meat ball.
I try to make everything a game for him. He's been outside watering the plant with me, and he's had his breakfast. Now he's taking a snooze.
Tis a gorgeous day. Yesterday they fertilized the Venny lawns. This means Dale takes Cuddy in the little red wagon outside the grounds to potty. When we went for a drive the other day, we noticed lawns that are drying and turning brown. It's only June. We need rain. Would love to hear a good-old fashioned thunder storm, not one with damaging winds or hail. Just rainfall, thunder and a few streaks of lightning.
