The Lighter side of Picking up Dog Poo...

nope... there is no lighter side...

one of the things that happens when you have children, is you loose all sense of other priorities... Plain and simple, your child comes first..
-before television, before music, before food, before sleep, before everything...

gradually, i think, or would like to think, you gain some balance/perspective over time and get back into a groove. To a large extent, i thought we'd done that.. until this recent thaw...

i look in the back yard, now largley cleared of all snow... and quickly realized that I'd not picked up after my 75 pound golden retriever for a long, long time...

faced with a predicted 4 days of rain, it was now, or never..

Not a fun task, but it needed to be done.... and as I was late getting home from work, i had to do it before supper, or face doing it in the dark...

yeah... (sigh) Youd think it'd kill the appetite, but to be honest, once you've gotten to the point when you can check a diaper by poking your finger down there, and then looking to see if anythings on the top of it? nothing really phases you anymore...... a hefty bag and a double layer of rubber gloves and I was good to go...

Shitty work, but someones got to do it...

which reminded me of another story from 2002 when Abbey (the dog) at 80 bucks cash...
But thats another story...
