When I was in the fox hole , I never thought oh lord if I get thru this nightmare and they remove the shrapnel I'd love to pick up dog excrement in a clear plastic bag off my neighbors lawn (even tho we have a ton of dog parks for this event or better yet the dog lovers own lawn) then carry it though the neighbor hood like a bag of truffles on award night.

Speaking of truffles in bags. Happy Halloween (or fall festival) if you're opposed to Halloween for some reason)

It appears obvious from your post that even though you say you "get the companionship part" of owning a dog, I don't think you really do. To those of us who are dog owners, they are like a member of our family, and are treated as such. Most dog owners in TV are responsible for the dogs as far as keeping them on leashes, and picking up after them. Unfortunately, there are a few that give the rest of us a bad reputation. You should consider getting one, it might change your position. They bring so much love and joy to their owners, I couldn't imagine life without one.
