They're dogs. I'm not.
January 7, 2010 Thank God.
Why?
Because dogs do this:
And this:
What is this?
Frozen horse poop. That's what this is.
And do you know what is the most disturbing about it?
The fact that I really don't find it very disturbing at all.
I guess I'm just used to it. I did grow up on a farm, after all. And truth be told, I think that of all the poops, horse poop is the best. I wouldn't eat it or anything, but it doesn't bother me in the least.
I may have, at some point as a young girl, had a horse poop-throwing fight with a friend.
I may have.
These are the kinds of things that, depending on the audience, may be embarassing. So one doesn't fully admit to them. One leaves them as somewhat of a mystery, while also basically saying that one has, in fact, done such a thing.
Then one changes the subject.
"Come Burley! Come Keeper! Treats!"
Burley, the younger and more agile, takes the lead as expected.
Until this happens...
Slows. Hacks. Uncharacteristically lets Keeper take the lead.
"Hey wait up. I just choked on my... poop."
Now there's a quote that any great writer would aspire to write.
"Mmmmmm... Your breath smells so...."
I can't even finish the sentence. I've already degraded myself enough for one day. I'm going to go now.
Well, not go. Not like that.
I'm just going to depart from writing and do something that makes me feel more lady-like, more classy, less like I just spent the better part of a half hour writing about dogs eating horse poop and how it doesn't bother me. Oh, and that I took pictures of it happening.
Must... stop... writing... now.

Oh my gosh, that is hilarious! At first, of course, I was sickened, but then I got over it and started laughing...out loud, alone, here in my office. thatnk goodness no one else is here because I would hate to have to explain to my co-workers what was so funny...they wouldn't get it, I'm sure. :-)
Oh, you are cracking me up! Yup, animals are so gross. Dogs will eat anything! And I think you are right. I'm a farm girl. Been around cattle, pigs , sheep and horses. All dung stinks 'cept horse poop.
Now you know I'm a conissiieur of poop!
Too funny!
