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,

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
