Thought I would share this - made me chuckle

A few days ago, one of my dogs started with diaheria. I started him on the probiotic that I had just gotten for the cow. Yesterday afternoon I had been out working in the heat for a while when my roommate let the dogs out. I saw Gilligan over in the corner doing his business and made a note to go over in a little while to see if things had cleared up any.
An while later, I'm wandering around in that corner of the yard muttering 'Gilligan... WHERE did you go???" (with Gilligan following around behind me wondering what I'm up to) and I look up and see my roommate standing by the fence staring at me like I had finally gone COMPLETELY around the bend...

I wonder what dog owners think about self-image.

My neighbor has a big dog. She's always in the backyard with her scooper. People over visiting, there she is with her scooper.

Maybe lucky for her, visitors are usually family. I've decided that she really doesn't want to be acknowledged by the neighbor guy until she's doing something different ...

What we don't do for our critters! I have wondered what kind of impression I make on all the people driving by my yard, as I wander around in concentric circles, plastic bag in hand, looking for Penny poop.

That's funny Cane!

One of the neighbors had some posh, out of the area, friends-of-friends drop by to say hello. They were scoping out the area for a possible move. They had their sophisticated 9 year old daughter with them in the car.
Meanwhile, as they were pulling up the drive the neighbors countryfied 9 year old was scampering about the yard on doo-doo dooty. The girl in the car asked what the neighbor girl was doing. "Oh, she's picking up dog poo" answered my neighbor.
The posh girl had a horrified expression my neighbor told me, as we laughed about it.
Oh, to get the picture clearly, the neighbors use plastic dog-doo bags over a hand to do the pick up. Up close and personal!

Well, I wasn't looking for Gilligan - I was looking for his poo.
But to someone across the yard it probably looked like I was searching in the short grass for a 40lb dog ... The fact that he was right behind me just made me look a little crazier.
