getting rather sneaky about taking her pill.
I went out and held her down, pinched the back of her mouth and stuck the pill to the back of her throat with my finger. I quickly held her snout shut and waited for her to swallow. Then I petted her and told her what a great rabbit dog she was. She ate it up for a minute and then raced to catch up witht the other dogs who were having a race across the back yard. Just as she started turning the corner she went phiitoo!

Cuz says he had a gobbler working his way to a hen near Cuz when the hen was spooked by some house dogs. I had the same problem last deer season. The dogs showed up every morning and worked their way through the area.

"The best rabbit dog in these parts. Wouldn’t run nothing but a rabbit. Why, everybody says so."
You readers, didn’t think I could say anything else did you.

Doc Caldwell told me I could say goodbye and leave her on the table. They would come back in and “put her down” after I left.
No, I couldn’t do that.
It might be the easy way out, but it isn’t the way the dog man should do it.
