    I met a chap whose Springer Spaniel was a notorious spoon thief..... Perhaps he worked there & brought her to work? :laugh:

    More productive and less harmful research than that churned out by other people we could mention!

    I think they’ve got unhelpful teaspoon beliefs. Definitely catastrophising.

    And those unhelpful teaspoon beliefs may be exacerbated by the lack of control group in their study. They didn't see if there were similar losses of things like soup spoons....
