The vet's receptionist told me try smashing the pill then mixing it with honey then rubbing on Geo's paw. When he licks off the honey he'll get the medication. I'm gonna try it soon. Just in: A death row inmate tried to sell tickets to his own execution on Ebay. The auction was canceled before any bids were placed.

Thursday May 25 07:47 AM EDT Killer of three people in Lake Worth tries to auction seats to his execution on eBay dailynews.yahoo.com A Death Row inmate who killed three people in Lake Worth tried to sell five seats for his execution on an Internet auction site yesterday -- for several hours, anyway. The auction on eBay, at which bidding was designated to start at $100, closed several hours after it began about 1:20 p.m. EBay officials had removed the site by early evening. No one had bid on the seats in the four hours after the auction was posted. "My name is Michael Toney. Most people call me `Cowboy.' I am on Texas' Death Row awaiting execution for a crime I did not commit," the Website stated. Condemned inmates in Texas are allowed to have five witnesses at their execution. So Toney decided that his seats would go to the top eBay bidders, with the money going to his estranged children. Prosecutors were not eligible to bid, the Web site stated.
