"wrap it in bacon"...hmmmm...I'm getting an idea....

Very funny! Thanks for that. I remember once having to give on of my male cats a pill. Anticipating problems, we wrapped him in a towel, and I held him tight on my lap while my wife tried to put it down his throat. Try as I might (and I was a lot younger and stronger then), I could not stop him from breaking free. They are incredibly strong for such small animals, and made me appreciate the power of much larger cats. Also remember playing with him in the yard, and chasing him, I was at top speed and he left me like I was standing still...

As a kid my dogs were "outside" dogs and the anti-worm pill was part of my duty. That all went allot like this joke!

[chargergirl]

Most of my dogs were fine getting their pill in liverwurst, except for one. My blue Dobie would check the treat every time. Second one he wolfed down and eye me cause he noticed the pill. So I would give him another one. I truly think he knew how to get three treats instead of one. Dobie's are wicked smart!
