Excellent

LOL, that is so funny, Rachelle. The dog pooped an R! You should have taken a photo of that one!!! lol. That was a very valuable lesson, I shall be taking a little more interest in my daughter's dog's poop in future! lol. I can't wait to see how you handle the next lesson. Well done, my friend. Happy Mother's Day. We had ours in March. :) Sandra xx

I'm worried that this is a bit of a two-edged sword, Sandra: will you ever be able to look at poop the same? Does that enhance or defile your sensitivities?

Thank you for this very fun review. xo

Nope, I'll never be able to look at poop the same way again. Not that I actually go looking for poop to study!! lol. :))

You never have to go looking for poop. It always just presents itself without being announced. : )

LOL, you're right there, sometimes you don't notice it until you tread on it! :(
It's against the law here, not to pick it up and throw away in the special doggie bins all over the place. If you're caught not doing so, it's a hefty fine. xx

You're smart over there. Here there are no repercussions...and it shows. So disgusting.

It started when a child touched it, (as children do) and became really ill. She was in hospital for quite a while. I think she must have put her fingers in her mouth. After that, there was such an outcry, a petition was started and millions signed it. The government had no choice but to do something, and the law was brought in to prevent it happening again. It is working too.

It's so infuriating that it had to be precipitated by a catastrophe, though, isn't it. Oy.

reply by Sandra Stoner-Mitchell on 12-May-2019

Absolutely. But isn't that the way with most things? Someone has to die, or nearly die before something is done about it. :(

Yep. Sad but true.

Exceptional

This is TOOOOO MUCH of a coincidence! Kate and her bulldog are just like me and my cat Cubby. Just yesterday I was noticing and wondering if I should write about it. She has been using a dirt tray while she has been pampered and staying inside much more what with being unwell... and squeezing out calligraphy herself. Very often she writes her initial, a 'C' (for cat?, for Cubby?) and then there was an 'S' (for shit I suppose.) I guess the 'C' might have been a 'U' (for us? for unclean? for undecided?)
I fully concur with the summary of your delightful story; that artistry and talent can be found in unexpected places. Until you pointed it out, who would have known it came out of a bulldog's bum?

Why does this not surprise me?! I think you have to be more patient. So far, you have a 'C' and a 'U.' 'B-B-Y' are probably still 'in the making.' Go check the dirty tray right now and report back. Inquiring minds want to know!!!

Thank you for the VERY validating review. xo

I am glad I did not name her "CATASTROPHICAL".. that's a lot of shit. I empty her tray regularly so am NEVER likely to be able to make a word, even a short one.

Well, perhaps it's time to re-think that...
