Dangerous times...

Well we are officially into one of the two most dangerous times of the year for humans owned by dogs.  At least in our neck of the woods.  The first most dangerous time, of course, is during the winter months - when icy sidewalks can be definite threat to humans walking dogs.  As you may recall my human slipped and broke her wrist one winter while walking me and Einstein. And thankfully it wasn't OUR fault.  We were not even pulling.  It was just a bad step onto a slightly snow covered icy patch. It was not a joyful time.

But the other dangerous time is now.  During leaf season...

And here is the scenario....When taking us out on the lawn - one or two or three of us poops.  And my human realizes she has no bag in her pocket.  Having no bag IS a rare occurrence.  My human has even found poop bags in formal wear.  But, it seems that when you NEED a bag, you don't HAVE a bag.  Besides - it is only on our property -  so she just goes back in the house to GET a bag.  And then the "older adult" memory test begins.  WHERE in all the leaves is the poop?  It's like that kids' game - Where's Waldo - except the poop is less appealing to find.  So where's the danger?  Yup you guessed it.  While searching among the leaves, one human inevitably steps in the poop.  We  dogs just say, leave the poop on the lawn.  Don't panic- it's organic.  But every year it's the same routine.  We just roll our eyes and look for another pile of leaves in which to poop.

Have a good one. Peace and paws up!
