This is more funny than gross, but I didn't know where else to put it. Yesterday, we brought the dog to (pet store that allows pets) for her to have her nails filed down. On the way in, we stopped on the grassy patch so that she could 'do what she had to do' before we went in. She was too excited to do more than a quick pee, so we brought her in and had her nails done. She was in a bit of a hurry to leave the store, which was a bit unusual because she likes to greet everyone she sees, but we didn't think much of it. Then, when we got outside, as soon as she stepped off the curb and into the parking lot, she made installment #2. Right in the street.
It gets better. I jogged over to the grassy spot that has a baggie dispenser and little trash receptacle, retrieved a fresh poo baggie, and jogged back over to pick up our (now-satisfied) dog's mess. I put the baggie over my hand, made a face (got laughed at by my brother), and a different voice cried out "Eeeeew!" I looked up, and a little boy was going into the pet store with his mom. He pointed at me, and said, "She's picking up poops with her hand!" His mother shushed him, but looked like she was trying not to laugh.
Lesson learned...Next time we take her to get her nails done, we'll take her out back and make sure she's "empty" before telling her it's time to "go bye-byes in the car"...
