The rescue center told us when we adopted this misfit- “This carb-loving dog prefers bread over chicken.”

Among the many things they should’ve added, I would have included- “The aroma of bread of any kind- whether wrapped in plastic from the store and hiding in your kitchen cabinets or fresh out of the oven- will beckon the bread demon within her and compel her to lose the little bit of self control she had to begin with. No bread is safe. Do not turn your back on the bread beast. Counter tops will not deter the beast. She can literally jump six feet high, like Tigger from Winnie-the-Pooh. Hide your bread. She will stalk the cabinet it’s in until you turn your back, and then she will open it. Yes, the bread beast can open cabinets. No bread is safe. Just give up. Eat the bread immediately. Give it to your friends. Share some of the bread with the beast. Give up bread. Do whatever you’d like. Just know the bread beast will never surrender, and her will to get the bread might break down the last of the walls securing your mental fortitude. Accept defeat. Live to fight another day.

P.S. Yesterday’s Challah recipe was good- and distributed among humans, although the bread beast and her three little friends each had a piece. Love you, sweet Harley, my bread beast. [image error] #RescueDogTales
