The leaves have been falling in our little corner of paradise for the last three or four weeks.  Last week during one of our walks I noticed that Delilah had a bunch of leaves plastered to the back of her left foot.

Yup, poor Delilah.  She stepped in an ass bomb.

I pulled the leaves off and wiped as much of it as I could off and when we got home, I washed her foot.

Now if this had been Sampson I’d have had no idea where he picked this up, but seeing as Delilah is on leash and limited in her travels, I figured she picked it up on one of the trails.  So the next time we were out there, I found the offending pile in the middle of the trail and removed as much of it as I could.  I say as much of it, because the ass cake was right in the center of an embedded rock.

And no, butt nuggets do not rock.

This month’s #ScoopThatPoop blog hop is Poop Poetry.  I guess I should have checked before I designed this post.  Because I don’t have any poetry prepared.  I had to do it on the fly…sorry!

Don’t fly the coop

After you drop that poop

Teach your human to scoop

Before someone steps in that goop

And falls on their ass with a whoop!

 

I know it’s not always easy, I mean I’ve had them both pooping at the same time on different sides of me.

As I’ve mentioned before, poop from a raw fed dog is much harder than a standard poop.  What I may not have mentioned is….the color.  My dog’s poop is a mustard/yellow/gold color.

Did I mention that a LOT of the leaves that are falling in our woods are yellow?  Yup, sometimes I just can’t find that poop.

For example, see if you can spot the poop in this photo.

(Yes my trained eye found the offending Lincoln Log and picked it up.)

This may not be the best example because most of these leaves have dried and turned brown, but I think you get the point.  Go ahead and guess, I already have a photo ready for Friday’s post that shows you just exactly where the colon cake is.

It’s like the Where’s Waldo of poop.  I spy with my little eye…….butt butter.

Anyway, I know all of you clean up after your dogs, but we need to find a way to get everyone to do this, it really helps cut down on the spread of diseases.

Besides, it’s the environmentally friendly thing to do.

So how do we get people to understand the benefits of cleaning up after their dogs?
