This is almost too precious to read. Or write for that matter.
Jeffrey's on antibiotics and a pain killer. Shoving a pill down Muttin's throat doesn't bother me, cause sometimes... dare I say it? ... Sometimes it's a level-izer. Me - Alpha, Muttin - not. It's about the only area of our lives together where it is so. She hates it, but I'm good at it, takes mere seconds and she's her happy dance-y self, and then tries to pretend she LIKES my finger jammed down her gullet.
Jeff however, is a different story. He's such a gentle soul, I can't bear to cause him distress. It's bad enough he had a vet jam his finger up his butt, yes? So I mush his pill in this thing ....
I can't remember what it's called. It comes from Jorge's house because it seemed... important. I was intrigued to know what he used it for. His step-daughter/my best friend gave it to me, joking that I could cut my cocaine with it. Or mash my big-leafed pot into manageable bits, so I could roll my own. Everyone knows marijuana doesn't have big leaves.
Back to the dog. When I was grabbing a spoon to mash the pill in a regular bowl, suddenly I remembered ... the marble bowl in the picture... and then miracle of miracles, I actually remembered where it was, so I was delighted to use it instead, since sometimes the pill shoots away from the spoon, and it's wasted on Muttin, cause she's snapped it up. You might need to re-read that sentence, I'm sorry, I just couldn't seem to make it end.
So mush mush up the pill. He likes yogurt, and I just happened to have bought several flavors, when I normally just buy plain. He liked the blueberry and snarfed it right up.
Today, he got Key Lime yogurt. I gave Muttin a spoonful, with the spoon, so she's distracted away from the marble bowl thingy, and he can get the dose of medicine. He took a couple of ...licks? swallows? bites? and I could tell he didn't like it. He stepped away. So I scooped the Key Lime yogurt in the spoon....
He ate it as long as it was spoon-fed....

Why don't I remember this post? Have you been hiding posts??!

Not hiding them. Just writing here instead of there.
