canine persuasion
Saturday, July 6th, 2013 05:16 pmBoth my dogs have surprised me in that they apparently like to eat raw carrot pieces. Considering that they like dried sweet potato and yam, I suppose it shouldn't be too surprising.
For some reason, the big dog no longer likes the heartworm+flea preventative pills. Hopefully it is just something about the flavor, and if I get the other brand which is only against heartworms, she'll still take that one.
The little dog still likes the heatworm+flea preventative pills.
After Serena ate her pill, I was trying to persuade Zorro to eat hers, by offering her some popcorn, and then holding the rest back until she would eat the pill. This was made more difficult, as Serena ignored her own popcorn and tried to go after the big pill instead. While Zorro ate the popcorn I had given to Serena.
Considering how much trouble it was to get Zorro to eat the pill last month, I stand defeated. I don't want to go through all that again. Last month, it involved peanut butter getting smeared over my hands multiple times. I finally succeeded (I think*) after squishing the pill into a nutter butter cookie. It didn't squish or stick very well. In the end, I think Zorro finally ate it out of pity for me, not because she was in any way tricked by the cookie.
*The pill disappeared, so I can only assume it disappeared down Zorro's throat.
