The Border collies are trying to do a bait and switch. Tonight as I was going to bed Gunner got into Jackie’s crate and Jackie got in Gunner’s, while I was showering and doing my nighttime ritual. Rosco’s bed is directly in the middle of the two Border collies’ beds.
Not a problem exactly, except that at 4 AM every morning Gunner has to be given a strong heart medication that I prepare in a pill pocket and place in a special container out of reach above his crate (for ease of access in the early next morning) each day at 4 PM when he has to take the same medication on a schedule every twelve hours, on an empty stomach.
I’m not always at my peak performance at 4 AM. And Border collies can start looking alike in the dark, and I don’t want to run the risk of administering a medication to the wrong dog.
Some musical-chair style shuffling of dogs into various crates and things were easily put to right.
Ay dios mio y’all all look alike in the dark at four in the morning!
Pearls:
- Of course a good mom would never confuse one baby for the other
- All bets are off in the dark so you better double check, and check again before administering meds
- Also eat a bag of dicks heart disease
- These sleep aid red motion sensor night lights with dusk to dawn motion activated sensors sure come in handy in the middle of the night, and the red light promotes sleep and doesn’t interfere with sleep hormone melatonin production
