Observations:
Embry is a true Labrador. In true Labradorian fashion, she has decided she does not like taking pills. At first, we tossed her Clavamox in with her food and she gulped it down without a thought. By the end of day two, however, we noticed the pill sitting in the bottom of her empty food dish. So, I started hand-feeding her some food with the pill strategically hidden in the kibble. That worked...twice. Next, we moved to peanut butter. She is now licking off the peanut butter and spitting out the pill. We refuse to be out-witted by an 8-week-old puppy.
We have no idea if the peeing is less, though she seems to be doing better peeing in fewer, but longer bursts. It all depends on how excited she gets and how long its been since she last went outside. Oddly enough, she seems to pee more inside than outside. Wonderful...
Embry is at least an inch taller than she was a week ago, and I'm guessing a pound heavier. She goes to the vet this weekend for her shots. And we need to take care of her AKC registration before Connie scolds us.
Number of Days Without an Accident: Zero
Today, I'm Bleeding From: The back of my ankle.
Current Interests:
Today was a big day. Not only did I meet Jack -- the grouchy Collie mix next door -- I met Oliver - Amy and Phil's Corgi. He wasn't quite sure what to do with me at first, but started playing soon enough. He is a funny little dog and I like him.
I also really like teeth. Teeth can be used to chew on doorstops and hinges. And toestrip. And corner tiles. And landscaping pavers. And mulch (LOVE mulch!). And bricks. And wrought iron table legs. And my tail, which I've recently discovered, but have a hard time reaching. I like teeth. I think I shall use them more often.
The Other Dogs are Currently:
Darcy............"I'm fine being in the same room, as long as I'm on the couch."
Sophie...........". . . . . ."
Tank Man......."If I'm really still, maybe it won't see me."
Traz.............."Thanks for the puppy. She is tasty!"

How I give Kip a pill: Get the pill, and give it to him. He then eats it. :)
ReplyDeletePoor Embry - I hope the medicine is working!
How we give Labradors a pill: Get the pill, give it to them...pick the pill up off the floor, stick it in bread, shove it in the Lab's mouth...pick the pill up off the floor, coat the pill in peanut butter, shove it in the Lab's mouth...pick the pill up off the floor, shove the pill in a big glob of peanut butter, shove it in the Lab's mouth, hold the mouth shut...repeat...
