Dog shaming.

Conversation at the weekend in the park:-

John - "I don't think you should let her chase squirrels"
Me - "she'll never catch one and anyway she wouldn't know what to do with it if she did"

Wrong.

I am eternally grateful to the passing dog walker who calmed me down by saying it's natural selection - only the stupid squirrels get caught.

She sloped off upstairs when we got home. I (anthropomorphically) attributed this to contrition for the recent murderous behaviour.

Wrong.

She was in the spare room chewing her way through a bag of Christmas presents. There was also some confetti for a forthcoming birthday in the bag; she'll be pooping 50s for days.

More dog shaming here.
