(what part of the brain is missing to condone this behavior?)

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)

We have had dogs most of our married lives. My husband is an avid dog lover and I have ‘gone along’. Right now we have two small dogs (Havanese)and they are a joy in our lives. Our main vacation is a 2 month RV vacation during the summer, and of course they come along for the ride. Other trips (cruising and staying at our timeshares) they stay at home with a dog/house sitter whom they adore. Walking them and picking up after them is nothing compared to the love and joy that they add to our lives. YOU are missing out IMHO.
