She believes only cat food is good enough for her although she is of the canine variety. And even though she is smaller than the cats she has no fear, of them or the 100+ pound canines, that she insists on running beneath their jaws at mealtime, on her way to the cat dishes.<br />We regularly are prying jaws open for something or other (pills in or something else out)<br />but have found that peanut butter can sometimes disguise a small pill, or a bit of cheese if the dog feels someone else may snap it up if not eaten quickly. Use the sense of competition to our advantage.Laura S Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812735660993028271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-91195647728998600672012-01-27T09:12:04.564-05:002012-01-27T09:12:04.564-05:00Yes, I am well-trained by our cats.
