[Dailydrool] the dreaded medicine stuff

[LOIS LEMA]

something i do here in my house of chaos is that every day i announce "it's time for medicine!"  & they all line up like fools for a dab of peanut butter.  lowla get her pheno in some, buster his sod boswellia, & sally, coop II, & any assorted hosue guests just get plain old peanut butter.  every day 2x a day this is the routine.  i start it as soon as a new one comes in to the house.  i say the say thing, every time.  works like a charm...even if i switch to cold cuts or dog food  but they all take their "meds" that way..never a problem.

i think it just makes it easier..they are used to getting something at the same time...when the other gets meds...so it isn't exciting...if it is a pill or not...plus then i am not as stressed & if i am calm then they are too..and as an added bonus any foster that leacves here is good about getting meds...i let each new adopter know that..really just continue that pattern & they should be ok...dog doesn't challenge it or make a huge deal over it..it is just a normal thing.

worked here through buster's back injury, lowla's pheno, miss casey's thryroid stuff, countless antibiotics,  benadryl, steroids, etc.   yeah i go thru some peanut butter but in the long run it is worth it to me.

lois & tonight the crew of:
buster, sally, lowla, coop II , sophie & farley the flying monkey dog house guest from hell
