Coprophagia

Yes, I penned her this morning until afternoon; training her to stay in there until she is able to listen to my commands and it's easier for us because she would not roam around the house but she ended up eating feces. Is this an abnormal behavior or she is just trying to get my attention and get her out of the pen? *frustrated, pissed* Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring -- it was peace. (Milan Kundera)
