Cosequin DS Maximum Strength Joint Supplement

Dad

I got this for you. What's your initial read?

Boldo

It's a pill. I don't eat pills. Unless they're wrapped in cheese. These are not wrapped in cheese. So my initial read is: you owe me cheese.

Dad

Let's talk smells. That always comes first with you.

Boldo

Fine. The bottle has a faint dusty smell, like the bottom of a vitamin jar. The pill itself is nearly odorless, which is either very clean or very sneaky. I'm leaning sneaky. There was a bacon-scented pill once. That was a trap.

Dad

You've been weirdly quiet about this one. What's going on?

Boldo

I'm waiting for the magic to happen. You keep saying it's for my joints. I don't feel my joints. I feel the sunbeam on the rug. Also, the cat is sitting on my spot. That's the real problem.

Dad

Does it matter that the cat seems indifferent to it?

Boldo

The cat is indifferent to everything except murder and ham. But yes, it matters. If the cat doesn't want it, maybe it's not worth stealing. That lowers its value. Hey, are you going to eat that string cheese? I can wait.

Dad

Give me a rating. One through five. You know what the poos mean.

Boldo

Four poos. I didn't limp this morning when I heard the cheese wrapper. That either means the pill works or the cheese worked. Either way, I'm not complaining. But don't expect me to take them willingly.
