'I spread a tablespoon of peanut butter across its grooves and stuck it to my fridge. Maggie licked for 15 minutes straight, not even looking up to bark at squirrels scurrying past our window'
Photo: Retailer Spending more time with my dog, Maggie, was one of my few early-pandemic joys. Working from home gave us more walks, more playtime, and more cuddles. It also meant much more exposure to Maggie’s quirks. Her barking interrupted my meetings. In turn, the chattiness of those meetings interrupted Maggie’s naps. Then she’d whine until I gave her treats. And on and on went the cycle of our mutual disruption.
Next, I tried both a treat ball and a puzzle but quickly learned she still needed supervision while playing with those. She would push the ball out of reach under the couch, then whine about it. Or, with the puzzle, I noticed her scheming again for shortcuts. The search continued.

But I spread a tablespoon of peanut butter across its grooves and stuck it to my fridge. Maggie licked for 15 minutes straight, not even looking up to bark at squirrels scurrying past our window.
