Cruz knows all those tricks, as he's had many pills in his day.. He actually won't take anything from my girlfriend because he's caught her several times giving him some sort of pill..... But I found that if you warm a hot-dog up you can very easily cut it in 3rds and slide a pill right inside it no problem... He never even suspects it, that is unless he's learned how to log on to my computer and read posts on BoxerWorld..... Good luck...
