Ginger is adorable! Thanks for including pictures. I have a few thoughts. If Ginger is stealing food, her appetite or weight have changed, or there any other abnormal signs, I would recommend having your veterinarian examine her to make sure there isn't a medical cause for the change in her behavior. It says that you are in Canada. Are Ginger's activities different in the winter? Certainly cabin fever can affect our dogs as well as us. If so, I would be creative about finding ways to keep her busy inside. You can use long lasting treats like a Kong filled with peanut butter, yogurt, treats, etc and frozen so it takes longer for her to eat. My dog also really like Bully Sticks which I also freeze to make them last a little longer. You can keep her mentally and physically busy during meal times using a feeding balls like a Buster Cube or Tricky Treat ball to feed meals in. It keeps my dog busy for at least 5-10 minutes at each meal and requires him to work. And speaking of work
