When I adopted my sweet Sadie, I was told that she had a tendency to counter surf.... but for a month, I didn't see it. She was happy for any human-food treats we gave her (including undressed salad greens!) but NEVER went on the counter, even when we did things like leave a whole roasted turkey or pork loin out to cool. Until, I discovered, we left any form of bread or carbs out...
Over the last few months, I've learned that Sadie was meant to be my dog; like any good runner, her favorite food? Carbs, carbs, and more carbs. Even sealed, she goes after them if she thinks she can get away with it. We haven't had much occasion to leave her alone thanks to COVID, but the few times it's happened, she's found the closed tin of leftover Christmas cookies (fortunately, with almost no chocolate), a loaf of bread, and a bag of bagels. It was after she ate five whole Asiago bagels and proceeded to look miserable for the rest of the day that we realized the trend with all those items, and now the baked goods have a special spot in the pantry rather than ever being left on the counter :)

PS - Is it wrong that I want to try this with Sadie on Sunday, before a long run Monday morning? https://www.instagram.com/p/CKr1FdLgIhv/
