Monday Mischief: How To Get That Poop by Abby

I felt bad mom was so mad at me, but I was just being a dog--no one's perfect!

My mom got very mad at me Saturday because I did a dog thing she just can't understand.  My sniffer is excellent and so I can smell things before my mom can even see them.  This is a skill most dogs have and that I recommend you use when the fragrance of other dog poop is in the air.

Before my nursing home visit, mom took me for a quick walk down the street so I could pee first, which I did.  As I passed our neighbor's yard, I got a whiff of some poop and made a mental note of it.  Then on our way back, mom even ran along with me so I could get some running in.  I charged toward home (or so she thought), but actually I was charging for that poop I smelled and pretended to cut across our neighbor's front yard to our house but stopped and grabbed a chunk of poop on the way.  My mom freaked and yelled at me, trying to get me to drop it.  It did fall out of my mouth, but I recovered it before she could kick it away.  Yay me!  But boy, was she mad!  She said she will not let me go into anyone's yard again, no more cutting through yards.  Daddy heard the whole thing and didn't even stick up for me.

Note from mom:  It really annoys me that some dog owners are too lazy or irresponsible to pick up after their dogs.  At the park, there was a pile of dog poop only 10 feet away from a garbage can and the free poop bag station.  Grrrrr!
