	Ah Angela, you brought back memories of dealing with several aging pets over the years, and trying to get them to take their pills. They can be quite clever when it comes to detecting the medicine and spitting it out, while still eating the tasty stuff you surrounded it in.... I was having that problem when I was using meatballs. The raccoons were peeling off the fried parts and not eating the inner medicated cores. They have not figured out how to do this with the bacon grease-cheese balls yet. I use finely grated cheese and roll the balls quite firmly to keep the raccoons from figuring out that there could be a peelable layer. Cats are easy to pill, compared to dogs. With all the practice I've been getting lately with tricking raccoons into taking their medicine, I figure I'll be an old pro if my mom becomes hopelessly demented, but still needs to take her various medicines. I'm planning to hide her medicines in her ice cream!!!

	I'm planning to hide her medicines in her ice cream!!! My dogs and Happy also wouldn't take pills like that. I always put it in their food, canned food that is. They never spit it out either. ____________

	We give out 6 treats for 09.00pm, at night, as small bits of a skinless sausage. We get 4 bits per sausage, and a pill fitted deep in to one is an entrance to medicine dosing. Don't do it often. ____________ It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

	So Donna is living at the Hotel K at the moment? Permanently, it would seem. See why I am motivated to get her back on all four of her naughty little raccoon feet?

	Coming up on 2 weeks in the new place. I am only 1/3rd unpacked... My office/geek lab is still in pieces and all packed, this is partly due to some pieces of my furniture that were left in a friend's truck used for the move, and also being busy at work still, and one day a week off of work is just not enough time to accomplish much. Soon though. I hope. ____________ -Dave #2 3.2.0-33

	I tried very hard today to befriend a critter, if not to catch him and send him to Angela, at least to get his picture. I was unable to do either, despite him accepting my bribes of apples and oranges. The critter in question was a "hard shelled possum", aka an armadillo. Maybe next time.

	Halloween is Angela's time o year. As to pups--yes it can be fun. My little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Abby has no problem taking pills. If I drop it trying to give to her-all I do is point at the floor and she'll find it and take it. Izzy (our princess Cavvie) MUST have her pills in American Cheese. She knows the difference if we offer Swiss...won't take it. As to feeding issues---here' a little piece I wrote the other night on bad things to feed the pups. ____________
