You know hot dogs are BAD when:

The dog refuses to touch them.

Even WITHOUT the pills.

Wow, that's bad! Peanut butter do the trick?

Nope. Had to pill the puppy the hard way. PB and Cheese both fail.

I thought it was sad, though, that she wouldn't touch the hotdogs without the pills. AFTER she had the pills!

Awww, poor Lady. Give her a snuggle from me, okay?

Random thought - how annoying is it that both Home Depot and Lowe's carry the exact same product, with only one choice of manufacturer in a whole category? Neither had the pneumatic door closer with the right measurements, never min the kind of closer I wanted. Gonna hafta call other stores tomorrow. What's the point of a store that huge carrying such little choice? Sheesh!

Try this...When you stand over the dog and do the "Good Googie" schtick they KNOW something evil is afoot.

I had some practice with this method.

Chunk up the dog, the one from the fridge, not Lady!, hide the pill in one of the chunks and sit down.

The scent should entice her to check out what cooks. Hold your hand out with the spiked chunk mixed in with others.

OR?

Hold off on feeding her and MAKE her hungry. I know she's a 'Lady' and may not wolf down her food?

Good Luck!

i have no experience with giving pills to any dog other than Koko. I did not know that giving pills was a problem. I usually have a hand full of pills that I have to give her every morning. I usually just walk up pry her mouth open and dump about 5 pills on the back of the tongue and then I close her mouth. Every once in a while I have to give a pill or two an assist because they stick on her tongue. While holding her mouth open, I push the pill on down her throat, with my finger, then close her mouth. I usually hold her mouth shut for a few seconds to make sure she swallows. If I give her Rimadyl or aspirin I usually have a palm full of food that I ask her to eat. Sometime I have to plead with her before she finally eats the food.
