Why is that creepy human watching me while a pinch a loaf? Is
he a scatophile or what? I feel very uncomfortable being around this
dwork. Then he scoops it up and who knows what he does with it.
Cheers,
Dog pinching a loaf.

Subject: [tips] Do animals get embarrassed?
Okay, since I haven't used up my allotment of 3 messages today, let me
ask this question. I've had a few cats and dogs in my day, and you
could just swear that they look like they are embarrassed when
they....relieve themselves. Now I know I'm probably just
anthropomorphizing, but I'd like to hear an explanation for this
(assuming others have made this same kind of interpretation). Perhaps
an evolutionary one: they are merely looking around to make sure they
don't get attacked by another animal during a time when they
are...preoccupied?
Or they just plain embarrassed? If dogs and cats could talk.....
Have a good weekend all,
Michael
