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.

We found Deter, a product similar to Dis-Taste, which WTG suggested.  It
promises to stop the corprophagia.

Our dog is crepuscular and corprophagic.  The former is fine, however.

My question to thee, in thy group capacity as Irregulars, is thus:

know how the heck to get the dang dog to stop munching its offal?  We
generally try to pick up his leavings as soon as he leaves them,  
which makes
it less likely... but we don't always notice when he's done doo- 
doo.  My

dream is that there's some magic potion to add to his food that will
discourage secondary consumption while not interfering with the  
primary.

Or you can try adding several dessert spoons of vegetable oil to the  
dog's food. This also makes stools unappetising. And messier.

Not such a good approach, given that we have to pick up after him when he
goes in public.

I figured id use this group for this little question... what do you all know
about cobweb plots and its relation to chaos theory? My friend is working
with them now and explained it just simply as they are related to chaos
theory. Any helpful guidance would be great.
