Cheese cures all

Our dear sweet dog is getting old, by Mastiff standards, and has more aches and pains than she would like. She runs up and down the stairs a lot too - to greet people or check on the kids. She tweaked her shoulder a few weeks ago and it wasn't improving. As with the last time she did this - the remedy is doggie Celebrex, actually called Rimadyl. She is a much happier dog for it. To give her her meds we wrap them up in a piece of Kraft singles. She knows these reside in the fridge - she has put together the fact that shortly after she eats the cheese she feels better...so now when the pain starts to come back, she goes to the fridge and pokes at it until we feed her. 

These meds aren't cheap, if only we could use the cheese as a placebo we'd be golden. :)
