Next Thing You Know, I'll be Putting a Vest on Him

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....

Not hiding them. Just writing here instead of there.
