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)

No meds today, I see! When I moved here in 2005, at the age of 59, I said something similar about why people would have dogs in early retirement, yet I wasn't as caustic as you. At that time, I was very active with golf, pickleball, traveling and socializing. Now I am 75 and not traveling anymore, so I adopted a couple of rescue dogs. Best thing I have done in years. I hadn't had dogs in 28 years and I love having them around. Lighten up and try to understand others!
