Sean, I know! But I will have on gloves… now, if I had a supply of gloves on hand, pet poop wouldn’t be a big deal at all! LOL

“This boy does not do bags of poop, okay?”

Pally, just wait until nursing school when you not only have to empty out a patient’s colostomy bag, but measure the volume and document the color and consistency! Pet poop will be a joy!

I’m with you on the dog poop… it reminds me of a comedy routine I saw a while ago (unfortunately can’t remember who the comedian was), talking about how it’s really the dogs that are in charge, because come on, the humans are picking up their poop and carrying it around.

Lord, I never thought I would have to continually defend a statement that said that poo was gross, and carrying it around in a little bag was gross too. I guess I was wrong.

I dispose of them ASAP, rather than carrying them around like a trophy; which is what I thought of when I saw that guy yesterday morning.

You mean holding on to it until he could throw it away in his own trash rather than sticking poo in a neighbors? Talk about focusing on the unsaid…

Wow…who thought a post about dog poo could be so contentious.

I bag it when I walk my dog, and I do hate to grab it through the plastic…this ick factor is magnified if you have a big dog. It’s not practical to carry a scoop on a walk. Some places are nice enough to provide baggies and receptacles for poopy dogs, but that is rare. I like to bag it and carry it until I find some one’s trash and then I just dump it. After all, it is incredibly ugly to leave those nasty green hurby curby’s in the road year round (instead of take them out on trash day only), so I figure I will at least put them to good use!

Lori, you are focusing on the unsaid; we don’t just leave it out there forever. While Sydney definitely gets the occasional poo-poo treat, James makes sure to pick up the yard regularly. Poo is just gross no matter where it is, and that was the whole point I was making. Actually, that’s not true, the point I was making, was that those bags that you pick up poo in, are nasty, because they have poo in them. I dispose of them ASAP, rather than carrying them around like a trophy; which is what I thought of when I saw that guy yesterday morning.

Dave, the scoop carries the poo until you put it in the trash. No need for a little bag. And as far as that last part, you never cease to amaze me with your over simplification of things; if you truly think that a plastic dog poo bag is the same thing as a condom, please, for the love of god, NEVER have sex again. You will be doing whomever you spare a great service, as obviously the two are no where near the same. And, in addition, I never said that condoms prevented all STIs, in fact, there are many that are still transmittable even with a condom; many of which are incurable. They do a great job on HIV though, and a much better job than a little plastic bag at that.

They make scoops to prevent you from having to touch the poo;

Okay… so once you’ve scooped the poo, what do you do with it? You’ve got to put it in something or carry it around in the scoop the whole time. Enter the plastic bag…

even though you have a thin, bag-layer between you and it.

So a thin bag-layer between your hands and dog shit isn’t sanitary yet a thin bag-layer between my cock and some chick’s cunt is supposed to prevent me from catching her STDs?

Duane,
After reading on your blog about how you got “sucked in” to SYTYCD, I watched the rerun of the auditions in Atlanta last night. I have to say, I did not think I would like the show, but there were parts of it I enjoyed. I thought the guy from Kennesaw that did the “robot” was very inspiring. I am by no means saying he is the best dancer I have ever witnessed, but he was really inspiring. I still do not see myself watching the show regularly, but I can see how it could suck you in.
Jim,
I have seen the entire ‘Planet Earth’ series and thought it was totally AWESOME!! I would suggest everyone should see this series at least once. Sit down with the DVDs or catch it on Discovery channel, open your mind, and enjoy!!!! It is really a shame to consider some or all of what was filmed could cease to exist if we do not start taking care of the planet that takes care of us!!!

They have been renovating the branch and testing the fire alarms all week and it is really annoying. Now we have this disembodied voice telling everyone to stop what you are doing and leave the building… and no one pays attention to it… we could be halfway burned down and we still couldnt get the customers off the internet. Sigh.
