Easy Tucker Day
Day 4 of 14 Thankfully, not much to report on Tucker and his pill. I sneaked it into a bite of pizza crust, held my breath, and watched him wolf it down. God bless you, Pappa John’s.
No Bread Sunday
Day 3 of 14 Getting Tucker to take his pill today will be easy-breezy I said to myself (and to The Puppy Grady who wagged his tail in agreement). I prepared the bread like yesterday, called Tucker to the kitchen, and, for starters, offered him a piece of pill-less...
Day 2 of 14 Days of Trickery
I really didn’t think Tucker would give me a hard time taking his pill today. After all, yesterday’s experience with Dr. B. showed me that all I had to do was offer it to him and he would take it, no questions asked. No such luck. I held out my hand with the pill in...
