Dogs and Poop

Stay with me here.........I know when you live in the city in an apt., you have to attend to your dog's ..........droppings???? Now our country dogs live a different life style.....let 'em out......let 'em in. Don't be too grossed out...we have a big yard and a little dog...so we consider it free fertilizer. But, having been in the city with my daughter's dog Ellie for the better part of last week, I've learned the ABC'S of dogs in apartments. And I have to tell you.......guys and dolls.... you look a little silly standing there, leash in hand, watching your dog's hiney. No one on the planet loves dogs more than I do.....and I love it that my daughter lives in a really great dog friendly area....there are bloodhounds, bassets, labs and mixed breeds of all kinds in her complex. So I was able to observe many humans standing in the heat waiting for their dogs to do their 'bi'ness'. Hey, I WAS one of those humans. It is NOT ATTRACTIVE. Here's my advice......watch the planes, watch the birds, watch the cars, watch the pool guy....keep your eyes AWAY from your dog's rear end......and things that might come out of it. You can do it...you have peripheral vision.......God knew what He was doing when He gave it to you. USE IT!!! Do your duty....but please, o please, don't stare as if you're watching an Academy Award movie.....you're NOT!!
