Funny thing, that. You see the weight going back on and you develop this "all or nothing" attitude and pretty soon you've simply lost control, so you stop caring.

Gotta have that dog food

I love bacon. I refuse to stop eating it, although I don't have it very often.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

i find it very difficult to digest bacon---or any meat for thst matter, which is e=why i avoid it most of the time--probably an "age" thing--everything else seems to be.

Actually--I have just changed my dog Chloes diet, as she is still not well--so now trying a more "natural" dry food for her--it just looks like little round pellets, where the other good was all shaoes sizes and colours, and this new food is twice the price of the ol food, so i really hope it will work. But she loves it. she still on antibiotics.--which she spits out--they are very bitter. takes at least 3 attempts to get it down her--a little yoghurt usualy works. !

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

Well, if you can't digest it well, then it's best to stay away, I agree.

Usually when I have to give my dogs pills, I'll wrap it up into a small piece of cheese or a dab of peanut butter. Peanut butter is sticky and it's hard for them to spit the pill back out because they're too busy mouthing at the peanut butter and eventually just swallow the pill with it. Another thing I do sometimes is crush the pill and add it to their food. For those special times, I'll give them a small amount of canned food, which the crushed pill is disguised into. Or I'll add hot water to dry food and let it sit for a bit, softening the food some and adding enough water that once the food is softened, I can stir the crushed pill around in the liquid.

If all else fails, take the pill and push it into their mouth as far back as you can get it, then hold their snout closed so they have no choice but to swallow it. But I normally have good success with the other things I mentioned.

If pills are a problem for your dog, you could ask your vet if they can possibly give the medication to you in liquid form and just squeeze it into her mouth with a dropper.

Chicken Tikka (starter)

Thanks Linda--yes ive tried all those--well not peanut butter as I do not buy it--the only way now seems to be with a little youghurt-even then she spits it out somertimes, so I have to force it in her mouth, and hold it tight till the pill is gone-normally she is ok with pills and stuff-but as I said these are very bitter, just hope they work !! Another week to go !
