Ha!! Too cute!! Churchill just does not like those orange things. Dip them in gravy and see what he does.
Got a new carreer for you Frenchy. You need to go into weaving rugs. You'd have enough yarn just from Churchill's fur alone!!!

he's a bit picky .... I have to put wet cat food on his glucosamine pills for him to eat it , but even with that , and hidden in his kibble , I sometimes find half a pill on the ground , so I guess once he tastes it , then spits it out |

If the yogurt doesn't work, you could always try a piece of bread smothered in peanut butter then wrap the pills inside.

That would be exactly Riley's reaction . Churchill is so smooshable .
Try cheez whiz for the pills. Works amazing for my dogs .

Not a salad man, eh, Churchill? Well, at least you tried!
He can really put on a scornful look when he doesn't like something, can't he?

Maybe you could try par boiling it for a couple of minutes first. Sometimes things appeal to them more if they have a little scent that cooking provides. Just par boiling it will keep it crunchy but bring out more of a smell for him.

Oh he's lovely. And evidently NOT a carrot lover (Bear and Molly don't blame him either)
Question: on his back feet, are his toes misshapen or is it just the way he's laying down? And I still want him. He's lovely.

Churchill has life figured out. Where's the Beef??? Halo won't eat carrots unless they're cooked, then look out - they're all hers.

Sounds like Churchill is going to be one stubborn dog between the carrots and the pills. You just think you've outsmarted them and wham, the show you just how smart you really are not.

Frenchy, is he food possessive at all? Will he allow you to open his mouth and pop a treat in? If he will, you can probably get him to take pills by opening his mouth, shoving the pill along the side of his mouth and over the back of his tongue. We do it all the time with our dogs. As long as we remember to treat them with something yummy (which evidently would not be carrots in Churchill's case ), they really don't mind.

Crush the pill between two spoons, and stir it into some butter. Nomnom. Bodhi would eat the spoon too if she could
Bodhi doesn't like carrots either. She totally sympathizes with Churchill. Bodhi will, at times, just grate the carrot for me, and then spread it through the house. Maybe she's trying to tell me the mousies want it more than she does. |

not food possessive with me , but I think dipping the pill in a LOT of PB would work , I just thought that , since he's so big , he would have gobbled it down with the kibble without noticing the pill |
