On Monday I took my dog, a large yellow lab, to a friends barn for the day. While we did some work on a fence line, my dog ran, played with the horses, tustled with other farm dogs swam, chased some birds and ate everything that wasn't nailed down. I witnessed him eat the following items:
- 2 small lizards
- a pigs ear dog treat
- 2 carrots
- some horse hoof cuttings
- 5 or 6 apple flavoured horse treats
- at least one large bug
- and a very large pile of horse poop (suh-weet).
Yesterday afternoon I took him for a walk around the block when I got home. He did the usual sniffing and snorting, but didn't look like he was ready to work things out until he got home. He paused to sniff at a hideous wooden cactus holder that my neighbour has seen fit to decorate the border of our yards with.
A couple of turns and snorts to find the perfect spot and he settled in to lay one out. You should have seen the size of this coiled pile... big as a baby's arm... hell, several babies's arms. The thing was like a huge presto log. I was afraid and stunned all at the same time.
This hideous and intimidating load had been dumposited, tastefully next to the stupid cactus planter and right on the border of our property. As I felt that this monster turd was a fitting critique of the wooden art crap my neighbour insists on scattering throughout his yard, I left the turd for posterity... plus it was more on his side than mine,,, fair game I say.
