Default Revenge Is Best Served Up Warm and Covered With Flies?

A customer today told me that his dog poops on the carpet if he forgets to give
him his goodbye biscuit. He never poops in the house any other time. The
other day, his wife was supposed to give him the biscuit and forgot. He pooped
on the carpet.

I had no answer. Do you?

Other than coincidence?

Dogs aren't supposed to be able to commit acts of vengeance... :}

Some dogs can I think, although i believe it to be rare. Its possible though
that its not vengence, its that the dog is made anxious by its change in
routine.

I'd suspect something more along those lines. I don't think they really
understand "revenge" as such. But they certainly can get angry and upset!

Delphi, when we first got Fancy, used to look for an article of my clothing
(never Kip's) and crap on it, then roll it up in a ball and stuff it under
the nearest bit of furniture. Did I mention she didn't just crap on it where
she found it? Oh no. She'd take it into another room first.

It was a little too funny to be upset over. She stopped doing it after a few
times. I guess once she realized that wasn't working to make the Big Stupid
White Dog go away.

I have no doubt at all that if any dog can throw a temper tantrum, its a
basenji!
