A Dog's Life

I have often wondered why it is that my dogs (AKA the girls) find it necessary to eliminate their body waste on my gravel walkway. On more than one occasion I have found myself walking to the gate only to realize, with an audible groan, that I am standing knee deep (well, not that bad of course) in poo. Of course I clean up after them when I know it's there, but when I haven't actually spotted the perpetrator doing her nasty deed I am sometimes the recipient of it - or at least the bottom of my shoe is. Funny how those little "things" can disguise themselves to look just like the rocks they are laying on. Of course the girls NEVER step in poo. They don't even run through it when chasing each other. They have some hidden radar that detects the location so they are able to side step it at the last possible moment. The lucky little wretches!

Just another observation while living a dog's life.

It is funny how they know where not to walk. I'm with you. They have radar. : )

Your entry made me smile. Cute photo, by the way.
I wondered too, about the odd ways our pets have. They are smart
though. I read which one of you stepped in the poo.  Hugs, my friend. *Barb*
