You name it we've wrapped them in it. He just sucks it off or rolls the parcel round in his mouth and swallows and then spits the pill out as if to say 'have that back then'. I do put them down the back of his throat but it upsets him and he sulks afterwards, but needs must.

Holy smokes ... that is a lot of water!! So glad you aren't bailing buckets of water from your home ... might be more stress that you are ready for!! Sorry to hear Ollie is having such a challenge recouping from his operation. I hope he is back to his old self soon. I don't know if you have access to these but we discovered something called "pill pockets" for dogs. We used them for Caitlin's pills before she passed. They are made of soft stuff, shaped to put pills in them then smoosh them around. Caitlin always ate around the cheese or bread we wrapped her pills in before and then spit out the pills!! With the pill pockets she ate them up right away!! Check with your vet! Anyway ... as for the ups and downs of the scale even when we are being very careful ... I'm at a loss for words of wisdom as that is the same struggle I am having. All I can hope for is eventually it doesn't bother me so much. Maybe if I had weighed myself my whole life I'd realize it is normal ... but right now I'm pretty sure it means I'm doing something "wrong" even though my logical brain knows that is hogwash. Let's just keep encouraging each other ... and maybe in another year or two we'll have words of wisdom!! LOL!! Take care and try to stay dry!!

Sorry about all the flooding in your area. Our farmers here are still harvesting - late wet crop. So sorry about your poochy too. Things will look up. Thanks for the buddy invite. We were buddies for a while in my former Fat Secret life. Let's have a slim and trim Thnaksgiving! Okay? Okay!

I am so sorry to hear of the problems with the flooding and Ollie. My babies love their pills because sneaky mom puts them in a hotdog! Maybe peanut butter or something else would help Ollie not be so upset by them?? I truly hope everything in your world rights itself soon!
