Potholes, Samoas, and Allergies... oh my!

The road we live on is a damn mess.

And that is putting it politely. 

I wish I would have thought to take a picture of the GIANT potholes directly in front of our driveway.

You cannot get in or out of my house without damn near breaking a wheel off of your car.

Well, today they finally filled them in again.

Of course, this only last a few days. Then it gets bad again.

At least they'll be cool for a little while.

Today I had to go into town to get Dexter some more Benadryl.

He's got some pretty sucky allergies, and he loves to be outside so this summer (the few days we've had of it) has already been a challenge.

While I was in Dollar General I noticed these "Coconut Fudge and Caramel Cookies"

SOMAS YA'LL

(Yeah, I said ya'll. SOMAS)

SOMAS FOR LESS THAN $2!!

Somas are arguably the best Girl Scout cookie, so I decided to take these for a spin.

They looked just like Somas.

AND THEY TASTED JUST LIKE THEM TOO

I am so excited.

I'm going to get in all sorts of trouble with these.

Next it was time to drug my dog.

I've found that a slice of American cheese is the best method. 

I tried bread once but he chewed it, found all the pills and spat them out.

He usually just gobbles the cheese down whole and has no idea about the pills.

The vet recommended 2-3 depending on how bad his allergies were that day.

He has been running at a 3 pill pace lately. He just gets so itchy.

I just take a corner of cheese, lay the pills down in a row.
Make sure to push them in so they stick to the cheese.

Then take another small piece and create a pill packet, or pill sandwich.
It is important that no pink pill shows.
If he tastes the pills he'll pick them out and not eat them.
Make sure to seal it up tight.

Then feed it to your wild beast.

He loves his "medicine".
