I noticed a couple of women outside walking today. One of the women was walking a large dog and they seemed to be having a friendly, animated conversation. I normally wouldn’t have given much thought to such a scene except for one little detail that I can’t get out of my head.
As I watched my eyes went to the woman with the dog. She was gesturing dynamically as she was speaking—one hand wrapped up in the dog leash, the other flailing a white plastic bag full of—um—poop.
(Now, don’t get all huffy on me just yet.)
(I’m not OPPOSED to people picking up their dog’s odorous droppings. In fact, I’m sure if I think about it long enough that I will be quite ECSTATIC that I don’t have to STEP IN it, or SMELL it, or SEE it.)
THE THING IS, I was just curious if she was AWARE she was waving around a giant bag of POOP??
And she was WAVING. IT. AROUND.
Like she was carrying something UNOBTRUSIVE. Like a water bottle. Or a grenade.
Call me a stick-in-the-mud, but I get appropriately embarrassed when I carry poop around. I don’t FLAUNT my bags of poop. No siree.
Brandishing sizable bags of poop---now that’s just downright boastful.

You and I already talked about this but I am one of THOSE people who have to pick up their dogs odorous droppings. However, it never ceases to amaze me how many owners are out there that seem to be above such a behavior. And to those people, Thanks, you owe me a new pair of shoes.
