THIS is Civilization??

I had a very unpleasant experience this morning while jogging with Minnie Mae. First of all, I know I was in the wrong. Everyone is supposed to clean up after their dog. BUT WHAT AN INFURIATING LAW. Who can remember to bring bags with them EVERY time they take their dog for a walk? I suppose it’s a habit you have to establish. I haven’t established it yet.

Minnie left a little tiny present in someone’s front yard–not even the real front yard, but that little strip of grass in front of the sidewalk. And the lady who lives there stuck her head out the front door and yelled “Thanks for leaving that!!”. It’s barely six o’clock in the morning for crying out loud! Mom had just had a major can’t-find-my-keys-trauma, I was up all night with this exotic disease (allergies) that won’t go away…doggie bags were not the first thing on my mind.

I’m more upset about the hostile attitude of my fellow community member than the embarrassing reminder that I’m an irresponsible dog owner. What a nice welcome home! Haven’t you got anything better to do? If she had politely reminded me of my poop-scooping duties I might have gone back and picked it up. But she just had to be nasty about it.

I’m plotting to have 50 tons of dog do dumped all over her front lawn. TAKE THAT!! She’ll have to enlist an extremely large team of professional pooper scoopers to get that mess cleaned up! I’m sincerely hoping that not even the trendy new product Poop Freeze will help her out on this one. I hope she steps in some with her bare feet.
