Just a small rant for some laughs for some.
We have a dog who is on daily medication. Twice a day, every day, and has been for just about 10 months straight now.
This dog has learned to take his medication without treat or any sort of additional support, we can just give it to him and he swallows. We don’t normally do this, we normally do some sort of thing, but in a pinch, this has helped us greatly. It’s something we teach all of our dogs as best as we can.
Now last night we cleaned out his crate and did a full reset on it. New bedding, new blankets, even the cover and the mat were pulled out. We usually do this every two weeks, but due to my traveling and my husband’s work schedule, it’s been a bit longer than that.
As we start cleaning it, he has this growing look of concern on his face as we get deeper into the crate and then we found it. His stash. There is old stuffing and random bones that we didn’t even remember giving to him, treats, torn up paper, toys, the works. And on top of all of that, 15 trazadone pills.
The biggest kicker of it all, that morning, we put him on new medication because his trazadone stopped working.
I suppose, we can’t win them all.
Edit: for those who asked, the hoarder in question. He showed all the stages as we cleaned the crate, forced the medicine in, and then the aftermath of the temporary crate bedding
Thank you all for the wonderful stories. It’s nice to see some great stories about some wonderful pups.
