I'm not going to keep digging, boys: look it up and interpret how it may pertain to my situation.

Dog in the manger
Meaning Spiteful and mean-spirited. Origin The infamous 'dog in a manger', who occupied the manger not because he wanted to eat the hay there but to prevent the other animals from doing so, is generally said to have been the invention of the Greek storyteller Aesop (circa 620-564 BC). http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/dog-in-the-manger.html

E,
I'd started a reply to Joefour's question just before you had posted, but submitted after your post, so posts may get a bit out of order mate. ![]()
