Because of Riley's numerous health conditions, she gets medication several times a day. Consequently, she gets treats several times a day. We will often hide her pill in peanut butter and give her a treat as a reward for getting an eye drop. She willing comes into the kitchen to get her medication since she knows there is a treat involved. This week she got a piece of leftover ham as a treat. Ross left some sitting on the edge of the counter for her next round of eye drops later that night. For about an hour, Riley paced between the living room and the kitchen - she knew the ham was waiting for her.
Eventually I went and told Ross how impressed I was with Riley's self-control. It's not every dog that would leave the ham alone when she could easily grab it if she wanted! Afterwards I went into the kitchen for a glass of water and found the ham had disappeared from the counter. What a turd!
