...hard to take the smell first thing in the morning, but sardines are his fave and the beans will allow me to form the mixture around the pill like a dough ball. He swallowed the little pills down, no prob. But when it came to the large, "chewable" he ate the fish dough from around it and deposited it on the floor. Again, I was forced to shove it down his throat.

Then last evening, instead of calling it medicine, I called it a treat. He swallowed both doses down like the glutton he is. Success!
