Pluggers by Rick McKee for February 05, 2010

This message brought to you by the A.M.A.

The A.M.A. IS a pill.

Yup, hard to swallow…and to pay for.

Hey, let the dogs fill their own.

Ya know what my dogs used to say to their pills?

Ptui! Just before they landed on the floor. gosh I miss ‘em.

Unfortunately, I gotta do that…

Oh, yeah. Fluffy’s meds in the pink pill box and Fido’s are in the blue one. Otherwise this Plugger would never remember whether or not I gave them this particular day. Just like I wouldn’t remember with my meds. Hope I never mix ‘em up!

Good job, Vicky. I should have submitted that idea!

I don’t take any daily prescription meds but I do take 5 vitamins every day in order to try and PREVENT going on the doctor-prescribed meds for as long as possible.

My dog also has to take pills. She takes a once-a-month heartworm-preventative pill and she gets 2 vitamins everyday (B6 and Magnesium) because she has mild, about once-a-week seizures and we heard they were good for that. It doesn’t stop them, of course, but they seem to be a whole lot less severe than they were before we started her on them about 8 months ago so I think there may actually be something to it.

My dog will not willingly take her pills. Thankfully, she’s a “gobbler” so I just hide them in a small piece of something soft and meaty and right down they go!

In other words, you accidently mix up your own pills with your pets’ pills?

Who? Me? Or the comic Plugger? Because I do NOT either accidentally or on purpose mix up my vitamin pills with my dog’s! I know what’s what, and who’s whose!

If someone asks me a question, I will respond to them. It’s the polite, mannerly thing to do. I’m not the only one “guilty” of going “on and on and on” (as you so judgmentally say) on the gocomics board. I’m not doing or saying anything wrong nor am I doing anything anyone else isn’t allowed to do — and that’s to add my “2 cents worth” if I feel like it. You can read my comments or not … I could care less. If you’re not interested in anything I have to say, then just move on to the next one.

0phelia, you haven’t been here long, so I’m going to give you some free advice: Don’t pick fights. Play nice.
