I just caught myself stuffing my daily half a Celexa into a pill pocket. 😳

So I USUALLY do this thing every morning (I have been doing this for years) where I don't pee until the animals pee and I don't eat until the animals eat (except for extenuating circumstances, of course). How's that for motivation? If they are uncomfortable, so am I. I am no more deserving of comfort than they are, so we feel it together and I am good with that.

Today after I got everyone fed I was about to grab a bowl of cereal and take my Celexa. Booka came into the kitchen kind of snort-grunting at me and showing me his butt (above his tail where he itches), so I was like "Oh, you need your Prednisone, right? We'll take our meds together." (Yes, I baby-talk my animals, but we do have serious conversations, too.)

So I'd just cut my Celexa and it was on the counter. Then I grabbed the bottle of Prednisone and there was a previously cut one in the bottle, so I grabbed it and put it on the counter so I could get the pill pockets.

Wouldn't you know that those pills are the same color? LOL I got the pill pocket and stuffed a pill in there and was just about to close it up when I saw that the inside of the pill was white. Thankfully, I noticed that wasn't right and switched the pills, but I came closer than I am comfortable with to giving that to my Boo Bear. 😕

I am sure that happened because he hasn't been taking Prednisone daily for quite a while now, but his skin has been bothering him lately so he's back on it until we get it under control again. Now I will know to watch out for that. Hopefully I'll be sure to stick to my system and medicate him first from now on!
