I had to close my office door. So hi...ROTFLMAO!!! I had to close my office door. So hilarious. I missed this post last Tuesday and here it is Friday. Dog poop is the worst. That's exactly why we don't have a dog anymore. I've got to show your post to Bob.

I had to work with mascara running down my face and smelling faintly like pee since I laughed so hard I cried and then peed myself. Knowing you and knowing Arthur I had the best mental picture ever. This blog story was right up there with Stephanie Plum. You are such a funny writer and the best part is it is all true.

Someone always has their trash can out at the curb.

Arthur thinks...Nikki: Reason #12 is the lap thing. Arthur thinks he is a lap dog - but he isn't! When he jumps on your lap his feet and legs hit all kinds of spots that cause one to yelp in pain. And you're right - the purring of a cat is just so comforting. It's nice when a cat allows you to pet it :)<BR/><BR/>Janice: now see - it it was cold and slightly hardened I could handle picking up dog shit. It's the warm, squishy and very smelly stuff that get's to me.<BR/><BR/>Mailyn: yep - cat pee is very nasty, but if you have a nice fastidious cat (like the Princess I do), then it's all good. Just gather that clump litter in a scoop and there you are! No warm, smelly stuff!<BR/><BR/>Tara: Ron was always a cat person too so it was agreed when we had the boys - No Dogs! And now they are both cat people too.<BR/><BR/>Cindy: I was most astonished (and dismayed) when he went that second time!! The first one was a big enough dump!! <BR/><BR/>Bonz: I can see why some people are dog people - I really can. They love you unconditionally. But I'm just not one of them. I just can't love the dear things back the way they need to be.<BR/><BR/>Jodi: Bless you and Bev both on the Oxy thing. That is numero uno on my grocery list!!! It was less than a month ago I paid a professional to clean the carpet. At the time he wanted to upsell me on something that would rebuff stains. Oh how I wish I hadn't cheapend out and said no!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Bev: again - thank you for the Oxy stuff solution!! Lisa lives out in the country - right near a horse racing track - so if I had gone there to babysit, the Number #1 reason wouldn't have been an issue - but then there would have been no malls - no bookstores - dial up internet - so I decided to have Arthur come to my place *sigh*<BR/><BR/>Bookwormon: I'm glad your kids thought it was funny too *g*. Yes - give me cats anyday - Please!<BR/><BR/>Lori: LOL - Trust me *huge grin* I ain't never going to change as regards to dogs. They are fine when they are someone else's. I like them well enough, but I will NEVER want one of my very own.<BR/><BR/>Rosario: knowing you are a fellow cat person, we must stick together!<BR/><BR/>Ames: I was almost thinking it was a Horton Hears a Who kind of thing with Arthur. A tiny miniscule colony of people live on certain blades of grass and his mission was to sniff out and protect them! That's why he refused to leave so that I had to dddrrrraaaaggg him away.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1159978182486068692006-10-04T12:09:00.000-04:002006-10-04T12:09:00.000-04:00That was great, Kristie!I used to be a cat person,...That was great, Kristie!<BR/><BR/>I used to be a cat person, but now we have a Lab because of my son. My husband says "Every boy needs a dog" (Whatever)<BR/><BR/>What I miss most is purring and curling up with my kitties. When I cuddle with our 90 pound dog, (he has to have some part of himself on top of me), I can't breath!<BR/><BR/>And the hair!! THE HAIR!!!

I'm lucky the back yard is fenced and I pick it all up once a week with a little garden shovel *grin <BR/>But when we are out for walks, yes it is warm.

I seriously love them all to bits. It's too bad I can't have cats anymore but I have my hands full with 3 dogs. I am always jealous that Ames and CindyS get to have both. :-(<BR/><BR/>Poop is nasty, I agree but I have to say cat pee smells even worse than any other pee, except rabbits. EWWWW!!! LOL.<BR/><BR/>Shedding is the other thing that I hate. I have a huge fluffy bear of a dog and I constantly have to vacuum.<BR/><BR/>Love the post, I kept laughing and my coworkers kept looking at me funny.LMAO.Mailynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08268088979512386316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1159962843726084752006-10-04T07:54:00.000-04:002006-10-04T07:54:00.000-04:00Too Funny!!

Exactly!! This was just hilarious.Since we...OMG!! Exactly!! This was just hilarious.<BR/><BR/>Since we moved to an unfenced area I have become aware of the 'stoop and scoop' thing and it's gross. <BR/><BR/>Now, I figure I can out smart a dog so I make sure he goes out in his yard before we go for a walk (that way there are 10' shovels and rakes involves). It was all good until he had to stop taking walks there while the vet tried to figure some stuff out.<BR/><BR/>Then I decide screw it, the dog is gettings ants in his pants and needs to walk. He does his biz and I always take a bag so that if people see me they know I take care of the biz. So yeah, I'm all shocked when he suddenly poops but since I came prepared I'm good. We turn around and head back home so I can deposit bag in garbage, wash my hands and then we go back out. Not three feet away he goes again!! I'm all WTF!!?? Have you been saving up!<BR/><BR/>Now I carry three bags with me. <BR/><BR/>Blergh.<BR/><BR/>Oh and we use Nature's Miracle but go with someone else's suggestion because I just tear carpets up so I don't have to deal with crap like that ;)<BR/><BR/>CindyCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1159936293218491962006-10-04T00:31:00.000-04:002006-10-04T00:31:00.000-04:00I am *so* off wanting a dog now ...

The hair oh well I shed too however you cannot beat the feel of the dog coming over to show you he thinks you are great and loves you best(as taz does with me) I thought I prefered cats but taz has me making a fool of myself and taking to the park for play time with other dogs, talking about him and getting him gifts all the time.
