I gave Edith a parmesan morsel before we quickly went to the hardware store instead of Dog Breakfast and there was a lot of confusion. I didn't want her logy and possibly poopsy in the electrical aisle. She's fed now that we're home and she's very relieved.

I'm trying something Pavlovian for dinner and setting a timer for 4 p.m. with a unique tone on my phone. When it goes off I drop everything and sing along "DOG DINNER, DOG DINNER" and then we go get dinner. It seems to be reducing the begging that was starting 2+ hours before.
