My most unusual dog feeding was hiding the dog’s pills in her food. The HO showed me exactly how to hide it. It was a funny trick but it worked. If she saw the pill she wouldn’t eat.

I think they just really loved their pets and saw them as family members. I seem to remember there were brushes for grooming two elderly Highland cows, and the dogs were used to being wrapped up in blankets as part of their bed-time routine. None of it strictly necessary, but they were a kind, caring family who obviously cherished their animals and home, and it was such a beautiful and special place that I was happy to do the same.
Well now I can’t get the song “Fish Heads” out of my head…sigh… 
Eat them up, YUM!

Not exactly food - sat a senior coton de tulear (yes, he did look like a cotton ball with legs). Jacko took several pills morning and evening and was very picky about how the pills were presented and liked variety - he would not accept pill pockets at all. I was left with a wide array of sliced meats, cheeses, spreads, nut butters, etc so that I could vary the pill disguises. Each pill had to be wrapped separately and he wanted variety at each pill time - no using sliced ham for both pills, one ham and the other peanut butter. And even so, Jacko would occasionally unrobe the pill, eat the treat and leave the pill so I could try again.
