Are you careful where you step?

If the photo grosses you out, don’t look. I am getting ready for my morning walk before it gets too hot. No matter where I walk, I always keep my eyes opened wide for snakes, bikers, cars, and dog poo that someone neglected to completely clean up. I never thought about roadkill, but glad I avoided stepping on this poor lizard of some sort.

Oh boy. Definitely glad that you were watching where you were going. I do tend to try and be careful where I walk.

I didn’t know what it was until I got close enough. I honestly thought it was a rag from a distance. This was so ewww!

@DianneN Sometimes that's the way it goes. It can be hard to tell from far off.

@dodo19 Definitely. Plus, my eyesight isn’t what it used to be. I only wear nonprescription sunglasses

I am always always on the lookout for dog poo. I never neglect to pick up my dog’s poo, but too many others neglect to do it.

@DianneN That’s true. In those cases, you just do the best you can.

I certainly believe you would take care of sweet Sadie’s poo. People here seem to have lots of dogs and clean up after them, but it’s impossible for them to get everything when they have an upset tummy.

Yes, I watch where I walk. I learned that from hiking…even on paved walking trails you can find a visitor. We have a lot of goose poop around the lakes and streams here.

Goose poop is gross! Deer poop is no picnic either

I’m glad, too. It looked like a rag from a distance thanks to my wonderful eyesight.

I feel sorry for the lizard. It might shock you but circumstances being what they are, I have not left my four walls since the beginning of last summer.

I do as well. What would your parents and Martin think of that? Nevermind what I think of it, Rasma! I sent you a message btw.

That’s one of the nastiest things anyone could step in, in my opinion.

Poor thing. I have to watch where I step cuz Roscoe just loves to dig even if it's only an inch which can really trip me up if I'm not careful.

Yes, that poor lizard. Definitely be careful of those holes that Roscoe digs. Falling is so dangerous!

Same as you, I walk looking everywhere to be sure there are no dangers where I put my feet. Poor lizard!

Of course you would do the same as I! I do feel bad for that lizard. They are very harmless. It used to be green

Hi, Marie! Happy you are very careful. We certainly don’t want to step on anything of fall.

Poor lizard is right! he certainly looks like he was run over multiple times. I do look where I'm walking but more so that I don't fall.

And that’s not normally a busy road. We have two houses being built on our street, so the trucks come and go on that street I assume. They say not to fall as we get older. Hubs will be learning how to fall correctly. Let’s all hope we don’t fall in dog poo.

Never thought to look out for something like that either...but this is a good reminder.

I hope you never see a flattened lizard in Idaho. Yes, it’s important to know what is happening in our surroundings.

Dog dirt. I stood at my door and watched in horror as a guy stopped and let his dog empty the contents of its bowels in front of my neighbours door I told him to pick it up , He laughed. He wouldn't have been laughing though when he had the police at his door My neighbours door bell camera caught the whole event and the police even showed him the footage The community warden who attended gave him an on the spot fine of £100 and a notice to attend a re- education class. The council actually provide a bin service and poop bags They gut won't let his dog do that again and not pick it up
