There are things worse than a gift of regurgitated dog shit in the living room. This post has cheered me up since losing my job on Thursday. I don't know for certain, but this seems to be small dog behavior. My large dogs wouldn't go near its own business, much less eat it. I was watching my step-sisters pug a couple of weeks ago, when I saw this habit first hand. I was out in the yard letting Mugsy tend to business when I noticed him eating something... He kept it down, but I didn't want him near me or the kids. Solving the problem? Air horn. Even before thinks about it, scare it out of him before he can take it back in. It works for big dog behaviors, and I know enough about those. ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Our dog is crepuscular and corprophagic. The former is fine, however. Nick -- Nick Arnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Messages: 408-904-7198 ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Alternative hypothesis explaining the correlation between brain tumors and cell phone use which afaik the study has not ruled out: it is the behavioral effects of a pre-existing brain tumor which causes certain people to drive everywhere and walk everywhere with a cell phone stuck in their ear because they apparently believe someone is interested in hearing them talk constantly and give a running commentary on their lives . . .
