dog poo. That's what you get when you take a small dog on a long walk and are a responsible pet owner who picks up what his pooch poops. Before you get too grossed out, yes, we use poop bags and tie them off well.
My missus is working from home today because it is a holiday at her plant but not for the accounting department. She will get to take another day off later this month and we're going to use it to extend our upcoming camping trip an extra night.
The rain we hoped for yesterday never materialized over our house. It rained everywhere around us but not on us. Maybe today we'll finally get some.
I did do some writing on my Camp NaNo project last night before bed. Today, I plan to do more. The story just took an interesting twist.
I hope everyone has/is having/had a good 7/5.
The photo is from Pixabay. I led with such an icky subject I thought you deserved a pretty picture to balance it out.

I know which creature in the photo I want to "walk."

I live in the country so my dogs go to the woods to poop. I have a question, how do you pick up doggie diarrhea?

boy am I glad it's too hot here to take a dong on long walks, there are no trees to provide cover from the hot sun

That woman must be wearing contacts, her eyes are so blue.
We are expected to have rain all weekend and into Monday. I am guessing that will extend to you guys, but I am not quite sure. Hope you enjoy the rest of your 5th!

@DWDavis I do not get the trend of colored contacts. I prefer to see a person's true eye color.

@ScribbledAdNauseum It's all about vanity and looking cool. A few years ago, my middle school principal had to make a rule against sharing colored contacts because some of the girls were switching them with other girls during the school day and a few wound up with infections from it.

So very glad I have a fenced in yard for the pooches.

When we had 3 labs, cleaning up our own yard was a regular chore. Both our Brittany and our schnauzer go out to the far part of the fenced-in woods when they do their doo in the yard. Of course, I think Ace saves his up for when we go on walks.

@DWDavis It can be sometimes. But this year the rain has kept it mostly washed away for me.

The poop doesn't get stuck in my pocket, but I usually end up carrying a bag of it for at least part of my daily walks.
