I took Ginger out with me this morning.  She enjoyed it, but she pooped again.  Who would think a dog running that fast could do that?  But I guess when you gotta go, you gotta go.  I totally forgot to bring a bag with me and then I forgot to go back and pick it up, so it's still there in the middle of the sidewalk.  I asked my sister to go get it and she freaked out.  Whatever.

Poor Ginger! She'll get used to it :) ... or you'll remember to bring a grocery sack ;) Fun times!

From Kelli on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 11:09:32

I am sure it will still be there for you later, although you may have to scrape it off of the sidewalk!

From Camille on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 11:11:09

I'm glad you didn't step in it while running LOL.

From Michelle N. on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 18:15:45

I feel like poor Ginger when I'm running sometimes. Nothing like running to stir up the insides.

This made me laugh, but I can't figure out why.

From Teena on Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 00:44:03

It must be very late because I am laughing hysterically as well. Funny stuff Burt!! I especially enjoyed this thoughtful line, "Whatever."

Oh man!!!

Mike laughed because it sounds *exactly* like something he'd write. Which is why it made me laugh, too.

...Except that Mike's sister wouldn't freak over going out to find and pick up poop on the sidewalk. However, his wife would if she got that phone call :)

We have family that are National Park employees and they'd poke it apart with a stick and tell you all about what your dog ate in scientific terms.

On second thought, poop from a dog that has a diet of dog food would probably be pretty consistent.

I'm just scarred from the time we went on a hike with them and they stopped to dissect every turd.

So, I originally didn't want to add anyone to my friends list until I had actually met them. Well, I met Lybi a few weeks ago and was just to lazy to do it. But I figure that if I'm comfortable enough to talk about poop and pee with the lot of you, I can add you to my friends. Welcome aboard!

From Camille on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 11:54:34

:o) I'm glad you have friends now... my name was getting lonely

From Burt on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 11:59:26

hmmm...I've been meaning to talk to you about that, Camille. I wonder if there could be a friend list and an acquaintance list. LOL!!

From Camille on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 12:34:01

man... how come I feel like I'm being voted off the island?

From Michelle N. on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 12:57:23

Burt, I am honored to be on your friend list:)

From Kelli on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 13:16:02

I just came to check and make sure I was there!!!! I feel so honored...

From Burt on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 13:26:22

Michelle,

Any old lady that can dunk a basketball can be my friend any day of the week.

Kelli,

Don't get too excited. I'm not that great.

From kungfublonde on Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 11:54:43

Oh I made the list!! SCORE!!

And the family Mike is talking about is my family. He's not kidding. Not only did they poke apart every poop to tell you the diet of the pooper, we had to be quiet on the whole walk because they were bird watchers. When you meet us (and you WILL meet us because hey, we're friends!!), ask my daughters about that walk. If Mike thought he was suffering, how do you think two teenagers felt?

From Burt on Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 12:43:22

Too funny. Do they actually think they're impressing you? You should just tell them, "You know what? You guys are totally disgusting." Then start cawing at the top of your lungs to scare all the birds away.

From kungfublonde on Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 12:48:00

If they weren't family, I had a few things I wanted to do or say...

I understand how easy it is to geek out on a topic you're really into. They really felt thay were sharing some exciting stuff with the kids. Plus now when I get attitude from either daughter, I just say "Maybe we'll spend spring break with Papa and Ginger? They are at a new national park in Wyoming- all kinds of new animals to learn about!!" It's some pretty awesome leverage to have as a parent.
