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)

Giving human characteristics to animals, inanimate objects or natural phenomena is a human trait called “to anthropomorphize.” This condition is often exhibited by those who also suffer from cognitive dissonance. In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental stress or discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time, performs an action that is contradictory to one or more beliefs, ideas or values, or is confronted by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas, or values. Just thought you might not be aware of these symptoms or recognize them when displayed as many if not most Village dog owners do. (I understand the term “owner” is now considered to be a “White Supremacist” term and may trigger someone and turn this thread into a racist subject. A lesser used and understood term is “ Eggshell skulls”. In the modern world, it seems, everyone’s skulls are susceptible to cracking at the slightest provocation, which this forum seems to demonstrate is true).
