I got my Kliene a harness. He kept slipping his collar because some how his massive head is smaller than his neck.

My Pug, Dottie. She's the sweetest dog I've ever owned. She loves everyone and I've never met a person or dog that she hasn't liked and wanted to play with.
 
This little shit is Harvey. He's a westie with something else thrown in and he's the best actor I have ever seen. You can see the back of my house as you're driving past so I can see him sleeping at the back door as i'm coming home yet as i'm parking he's conveniently running back from a field as if he's been chasing rabbits all day.

Mine used to do the exact same thing, at first I tricked her with a bit of peanut butter or nuttella around the outside of the syringe, she then wised up to that, so Oreo's got used I tool them apart scooped out a bit of the filling and put the medicine in there and that works wonders, if she needs pill's of some description I have to crush them up a bit and mix it in with her dinner, normally something with a quite strong aroma.

Wow, the Oreo thing is genius, I'll have to try that on her next time she needs regular doses. She's normally pretty good with syringes fortunately because she knows she'll get a treat afterwards, but it took a while to get there ahaha. Pills are easy though, just stick them in some cheese and act like its a normal treat and she's none the wiser. Honestly once you've dealth with giving them ear medicines everything else pales in comparison haha.

The cheese thing an pill's just doesn't work with mine for some reason I think she finds something hard spits it out and eat's the rest of the cheese, It works with my friends jack russel though that silly sod eat's anything you toss at him.

My dog's not a good traveler, anything over 30 min in a car and she pukes up luckily 95% of the time she's in the car with me it's 10 - 15 min at a time, but I travel down to Cornwall a few times a year for the weekend an she comes with me and the vet gave me these sleep tablets for her that keeps her sleepy for a few hours for the journy, I used to crush them up an put them in a little cream but she wised up to that and now when I do it I have to put it in something else.

She doesn't mind the trip but is sick every ware if she doesn't have it, but I suppose she doesn't mind because she goes asleep an then wakes up on the beach an get's to play in the sand for a few hours.

Well Bon's part Jack Russell, so maybe it's a breed thing. Although if she was getting pills more than once a year or so she might suss it out.

Bless her. Don't think I've ever met a dog that liked travelling, I'm not sure how that's supposed to be a thing they're supposed to love. Bonnie won't throw up, she just has a panic attack because has anxiety and OCD so anything outside of the routine freaks her out. I really wish I was kidding about that.

If the pills dissolve you could try adding them to gravy/chicken broth-y water, it's what we did with the cat because she only ate dry food. Downside to that is you have to make sure they have it all so it's got to be pretty concentrated, but a low sodium or dog-specific gravy is fine. You could also try scrambled egg, that worked for the non-weird cat ahaha.

I think they are just enthusiastic little buggers about everything an act before they think, my mates kid thinks it's funny to throw his dummy across the room and at first he tried to eat them now he knows better an just takes them back over to him an drops them at the front of the play pen.

Oddly I have known a few dog's that do love to travel but they travel all the time so I guess for them it's just another day, In the short journys she's not exactly thrilled but she will lay down on the seat and look bored, I think in my Luckys case it's a genuine travel sickness thing, rather than anxiety but I can understand how some dog's like your poor thing getting stressed because they don't know what's going on.

They don't exactly dissolve they didn't have the time to because it was just a bit of cream on a small plate to get it down her, but she's sorta worked out that creem = unexpeted sleepy time so turns her nose up at it, last time I gave it to her I gave her mushed up lasagna an she loved it but after she finished she came into the living room an she looked at me as she realised what was going on "WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME??????" she immediately forgot that when she woke up because we where on the beach at padstow and was loving playing in the sand.

On the way back we got caught in a serious traffic jam and it sorta wore off and I had to pull over a few times to give her some water and let her run around, and she didn't throw up until 5 min before we got home, I just gave her a quick shower and drove the car around to a valet station an cleaned up the mess.

Marley, a yellow lab/boxer mix. She's still a puppy, very affectionate and full of energy. I think this picture was taken at 12 weeks old.

One of my dogs had to take benadryl every day for her allergies (We got lucky and eventually found some food that she wasn't allergic to) and we used Greenies pill pockets. We tried cheese, deli meat, peanut butter, everything. The stupid pockets were the only things she wouldn't spit out. They worked well, but it turns out some of the crap in the stupid pill pocket is what she was allergic too. :(

Kliene didn't want to get out of bed the other day. Had to physically roll him out. :\
