Though Indium may be about to "disturb the peace" based on that fluffy shit-disturbing look she has.

My dog had knee surgery Tuesday. She has 4 medications to take everyday. 3 are not chewable. She is allergic to wheat, which is a primary ingredient in pill pockets.
I made my own using peanut butter, homemade oat flour, and pumpkin puree. But I need something more shelf stable, so I replaced the pumpkin puree with liver powder. The new version is very sticky, and not pliable like store bought pill pockets. So when I roll them out into balls, over a short period of time they coalesce back into one giant glob.
Looking for ideas for an add in that will help me get them less sticky.
For those unfamiliar with pill pockets.

Edit: while I appreciate how everyone is giving their dogs pills (except you mouth stuffers, give the pupper a damn treat), I am really looking for ways to perfect my pill pocket recipe.

Recently adopted a 14 month old puppy, had a really nice sunset last night after the rain ended and managed to get this photo of him standing in front of the barn with the Rockies in the background.

Throwback to Waldo and Midnight offering their bellies up for scritches. RIP, friends.

Waldo and Midnight were amazing dogs and also inseparable. They passed within months of each other at the age of 13 a few years ago. They lived happy, carefree lives, and enjoyed running free in off-leash dog parks. I miss you, guys.

He just sits there and waits for me to come home.

Jessica was hiking in a remote part of New Zealand with her dog, Molly, when she slipped and fell 180 feet down a waterfall. Jessica survived and was rescued - but Molly had disappeared.
A local helicopter company heard what happened and organized a volunteer search. A week after Molly went missing, the team flew back to the waterfall to start looking.
And there she was.
Molly was sitting on rocks beneath the very waterfall where Jessica had fallen. Despite spending a week on her own, rescuers said she was in perfect condition.
They lured Molly over with a treat, carried her to the helicopter and brought her to safety.
After an unimaginably difficult week, Jessica and Molly were finally both back home.
