this happened yesterday and i'm still cleaning up the aftermath so figured i'd share.

my chiweenie Peanut is 12 pounds of pure food obsession and i've dog-proofed most of the kitchen because of it, but the counter has always been safe since she can't jump that high, or so i thought until yesterday when i got home from Costco, put the rotisserie chicken container on the counter, and went upstairs to change out of work clothes for maybe 8 minutes.

came back down to find Peanut on the counter with the container destroyed and a good third of the chicken already inside her including the bones.

And since cooked chicken bones splinter and are one of the worst things a dog can eat, i panicked and drove her to the emergency vet.

$470 later she's fine because they induced vomiting and coated her stomach with something, told me to feed her rice for 2 days, and the x-ray came back clear of shards which is apparently lucky.

Except now Peanut has decided the counter is her personal buffet, so i've caught her staring at it 3 separate times today and she has learned exactly the wrong lesson from all this, which means i'm putting baby gates up tomorrow before she figures out something worse.

TL;DR: left a Costco rotisserie chicken on the counter for 8 minutes, chiweenie somehow got up there and ate a third of it including the bones, $470 emergency vet bill, and she's now convinced the counter is a food-delivery service.
