Dogs are dumb.
Okay, that's a "well, duh" kind of statement. How about this? Some dogs are dumber than others.
Take, for instance, Emma -- our Dachshund. Granted, she's only about four months old, so maybe she'll outgrow her desire to eat and eat and eat and eat and eat.
Last night, we went out for dinner, and when we got home, I discovered that she had pulled her bag of food off the shelf. I looked around, but I didn't notice any particles of food on the floor. The bag didn't seem to weigh any less than what I remembered.
I wandered upstairs to discover the scoop (with chew marks in it) from the food bag lying on the floor of our bedroom. Okay, she had definitely got into the food. I informed Jacquie of this, and we had a good laugh.
Then we took a good look at Emma. She had grown much fatter since we had left. We touched her belly, and it had expanded and grown somewhat solid (very little give, which is not normal for her tummy).
As far as we can figure, Emma pulled the bag down, ate what food fell out and then stuck her head into the bag to gorge herself on puppy food. She probably only stopped when she couldn't fit anything else into her stomach.
