Dogs hate pills

*(Intro: Light, upbeat tune with playful whistles)* --- *(Verse 1)* When it’s time for medicine, It’s never quite the thrill, Dogs might love a tasty treat, But never love a pill. *(Chorus)* **Pills and paws, in a battle for the cause,** **Hide it in the food, but they'll sniff and pause.** **Pills and paws, they know all our flaws,** **Trying every trick, but they see the clause.** *(Verse 2)* You wrap it in some cheese, Or hide it in their meat, But somehow they can always tell, And spit it at your feet. *(Chew, spit, sniff)* *(Chorus)* **Pills and paws, in a battle for the cause,** **Hide it in the food, but they'll sniff and pause.** **Pills and paws, they know all our flaws,** **Trying every trick, but they see the clause.** *(Bridge)* You can mash it in a biscuit, Or mix it in their mush, But they’ll eat around the medicine, In a clever hush. *(Crunch, lick, hmm)* *(Verse 3)* You try to hold their snout, And tilt their head just right, But somehow they will always know, And turn it to a fight. *(Chew, cough, glare)* *(Chorus)* **Pills and paws, in a battle for the cause,** **Hide it in the food, but they'll sniff and pause.** **Pills and paws, they know all our flaws,** **Trying every trick, but they see the clause.** *(Verse 4)* It’s a daily struggle, A dog owner’s plight, To get that pill down, But they’ll always fight the fight. *(Outro)* So remember as you try, To give that pill a pass, Dogs will always find a way, To outsmart you at last. *(Sniff, wag, sigh)* --- *(Fade out: Gentle strumming with playful whistles)*
