Every once in a while, we Scotties get lucky. It doesn’t happen very often, but at times we have discovered tasty treats that have inadvertantly been left on surfaces that are within reach of our grabbing Scottie jaws.
Since we are so food-driven, we always seem to notice anything that has been placed on the coffee table or the side tables next to the couch, but we have also been known to jump up on chairs to nab something off the dining table or jump up on the bench on the deck when we spot something interesting there.
My sister, Sadie, thinks that she can counter surf in the kitchen when she notices food near the edge of the counter, even though no matter how high she jumps, she isn’t quite tall enough to grab whatever is there. That doesn’t stop her from continually trying, however!
I suppose we have a “you snooze, you lose” attitude though, because if there’s any kind of food that is unattended within Scottie range, we’ll be right there to check it out and score an unexpected treat–unless we get caught!
Ooh, is that a smoothie?!
