I could tell you were frustrated and scared and posted as such, not someone that was about to kick mom to the curb.
I started a thread on this topic last year after my sister visited, she takes some serious sleeping pills and after she left I found one on the floor of my office which is also a guest room, the pill was almost in one of Lola's beds. I was furious she could be so careless. Several people posted that they had this happen to them and I believe there was even someone who's dog died because of a pill dropped on the floor. I think the best advice for everyone that has dogs and takes pills is what other's suggested have a safe place to take them and only take them in that spot. Also if you wear reading glasses keep a pair near your meds, I notice some pills can be very tiny and can easily be missed if you don't have glasses on.
