Martini is a paper lion [View all]

Every night between 6:00-7:00, I give her her medicine. She will come downstairs during that time and sit there, looking at me. I say "let's go get your medicine" and she'll turn around, walk back upstairs and stop right outside the bathroom. I pick her up, shut the bathroom door and she starts acting like she hates it. Sometimes she turns into the Incredible Hulk, but most of the time, she just takes it and swallows it. I think she's more resigned to it now because she knows she gets treats when we're done but she has to act like it's such an ordeal. Holly waits right outside the door because she knows what time it is when we come out. Treat time!
