I know I started off a post the same way last month, but man, talk about blogger apathy. I always think about this space, how updated it has not been, and how I need to just do it. Well right now, I've dropped everything to just come here and put out a quick post. It must be done.
The other day I was walking our dog, Bowser, here at our lovely apartment complex. As we headed over to the "dog area", I noticed that there was a lady and her dog already there. Now, with a normal dog, this isn't really a problem, but with our dog, he likes to investigate stuff, like people and other dogs, rather enthusiastically. So, because I saw that lady and her nice, calm dog already in the space I was heading, I decided to hang back until her dog did it's business and they went on their way.
Well as I was waiting, I couldn't help but watch what they were doing, you know, so I knew when they left. As I watched, I noticed that the dog was about to poop. Now, everything poops, right? That's not the real point here. At our complex, we are asked nicely to pick up after our dogs, so that there isn't poop all over the place. It's something I've gotten used to over time, and I really don't have a problem picking up poo. Whatever. So, this lady is there with her dog, and she's got her bag out, and I'm thinking "great, good, she picks up after her dog, too."
That's when she bends over and sticks the plastic bag directly on the dog's ass, and the dog poops directly into the plastic bag, without hitting the ground. Now, am I wrong to think that this is totally weird and messed up? I mean, wouldn't a normal person just let the dog go on the ground and then pick it up afterwards? You don't have to catch it. Do you catch you're dogs poop? And not to mention, one of the ladies from the office was returning from showing two people an apartment that they were thinking of renting. They had the paperwork in their hands, that's how I know. And this lady, bent over behind her dog, catching dog poop turns to her and the prospective tenants and asks if their day is going good. Imagine that scene.
So she threw the poo bag into the compactor and went on her way, and as Bowser prepared to do his thing for himself, I couldn't even imagine doing the same act to Bowser. It's bad enough he has to poop with an audience, but to have someone catch it while addressing other members of society at the same time? I don't know I just thought it was weird. Like I said, there really isn't much of a problem picking it up off the ground. But catching it in a bag? You still have to bend over, so it's not like a "I can't bend over" thing. I'm not sure what the reason for it is, but there's probably a good one. But you won't see me catching poo directly into a bag anytime soon.
