Catching it does not really solve anything even when you get a good chunk as this is just what he/she who must not be obeyed is trying to get you to do. I noticed a code in a message on another site to be unnamed place that seems to imply I am the one trying to get others to chase their tails as a Sage with 6143 posts. I have 12633 posts as a Sage. And, I have never posted on that other site using any moniker.

Back to the YouTube--

Another dog even steals the tail chasing dog's food while he/she is busy attacking its own tail! 34 second mark.

Anyone have a picture of a dog, story, YouTube chasing its own tail you would like to post???
I get your point, Tal, and it's a good one.

To get off the metaphor, an amusing story. Well, I guess it does speak to the metaphor. Our puppy and another puppy--two rambunctious males--on our dock in our Michigan marina, plus an older, wiser female. All are centered around one special treat they all love. The two males get into a fight over the treat. The female quietly walks up and steals the treat they forgot about due to the fight. She sits quietly munching, taking her time, while the other two tumble around.
