It costs me $57 a month to insure my dog and two cats. They are worth it.

The answer to the pill problem, for Rosie, is cheese! One pill at a time with room temperature shredded cheese molded around it. If a grocery store was close enough I'd go get a block of Velveeta.

Rosie is healing well. Had her staples out Monday. She did not get to them to lick like last year, so her incision has healed nicely. She's still wearing the Elizabethan collar at night, or if we catch her licking the leg during the day.
Her PT has gone from flexing the knee joint to picking up each front foot, one at a time, for 5 seconds (then gradually longer). This forces her to put weight on that back leg. She's already doing that and wants so bad to walk up the road where she normally "does her business". But that means going into the ditch and that's more strain than her surgery site needs.

In some instances, dog saliva is healing. Wild canines have no other medicine. Natural wounds, left untreated professionally, are indeed healed by licking. We didn't want Rosie pulling out staples like she did last year.
I believe that old wives' tale!
