I just finished paying for my sins. All the snow and ice we had this winter, plus all the salt used in my area and the fact that I was ill for over a month led me
not to walk our dog for quite a while.
So instead of picking up his "business" one "job" at a time, it just kept collecting, getting covered with snow, and collecting some more. Eventually, the snow stopped, and started to melt. Well, instead of picking up the pieces as they reappeared (cause I was still weak from my illness, after all
), I waited, and waited, and waited until
everything melted, and my back yard was a swamp. A very disgusting swamp.
I now have five bags of very moist "doings" to get rid of, some very gross boots to clean, and a solemn vow to
never, ever let it happen again (I'm teaching the dog to use the toilet)!
