One of the lines has to be set aside.
The pills on the floor make it sound like a person stuffed their mouth to end it all, except the dog wouldn’t have done that.
They usually need peanut butter or something to get them to take one pill. And even then our late dog Jamie used to cleverly “palm the pill” and we would find it on the edge of the baseboard, most of the peanut butter off.
Ain't it the truth! If I can find a liquid form of a medication, that's what my hounds get, squirted down their gullet. The peanut butter trick doesn't work with these clever mutts.
