curious wrt the origin of this idiom

from quartz:

quote:

The name references a Chinese proverb that says “muddy waters make it easy to catch fish,”—that is, that it’s possible to use a crisis or period of chaos for personal benefit.

in canada i've heard it as "loving the dog" in terms of idleness, but not "screwing the pooch" in terms of loving up

screwing the pooch is loving up

loving the dog is long term idle with a side of incompetence

loving the chicken is long term wasting time doing things that you think are productive but are not
