“The Stinker”

I do some of my very best thinking in that position…

Presenting Rodin’s “The Stinker”.

Love it!

I’d title it “the tinkler” but that’s not what you clean up after…

I’d give this one more likes if I could.

On our local walking trails, volunteers (like myself) stock free dispensers of wee yellow plastic bags for dog walkers to bag their dogs’ feces, so they might then carry them to waste containers at trail heads.

Evidently that’s too difficult a concept for many walkers, because they leave them a-l-o-n-g the trail so everyone can enjoy them, rather like luminaries without the flames.

If the offending bag is on a section of trail that is paved, I’ve taken to carrying a bit of chalk so I might circle it, along with the warning:

CAUTION – CAUTION – CAUTION – CAUTION – CAUTION

Don’t step in inconsiderate dog walker’s brains!

CAUTION – CAUTION – CAUTION – CAUTION – CAUTION

Well, it doesn’t seem to work – I’m open to suggestions . . .

That’s the position I take when I’m constipated. Lots of grunting and groaning

CNN harvesting food for all the mushroom viewers down in the cave. And they’re hungry.

Heard a rumour that it is titled – “Dump the dump”.

I think walking around stark naked with a bag of dog poop is really going to get him noticed.

We need statues of this guy.

Walking your dog while stark naked will get you arrested real quick and being a famous sculptor don’t count.

Rodin’s The Stinker!

Someone calling it a “Stinker” in 3, 2, 1….

Rodin’s statue, Taking Responsibility, is less known ’cause no one wants to do so.

And ‘Dear Abby’ reminds us not to put the doggie waste bag in a neighbor’s trash can. :-)

Re re re re re re rerun

“Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.” Anyone else remember it?

The Rodin sculpture garden at Stanford is worth checking out, if its still open

Lovely topic for Christmas week. Or any day.

The slinker. The thinker. The stinker. Teamwork, works. I’m thinking if we all walked around barefoot, we would keep our cities cleaner.

It was called “The Quicker Picker Upper”

My question… whose doo-doo is in the bag??

“The Bag of Good Citizenship”

So…The Thinker becomes The Stinker?

i’ve heard that Parisians never pick up la merde de chien…

The Stinker

“Pleasure doing business with you!”

Quotes from the sides of local septic tank pumpers:- We’re #1 in the #2 business- Our business is going in the hole- Burnin fuel & suckin stool- Honey wagon- Blow BrothersSorry, Merry Christmas all.

Our old dog was free range at home in the country, but when we traveled with him, I was the dog walker. He was very picky about his spot. I did carry a bag, but hardly ever had to use it as he was great at finding an empty lot or pushing into the middle of a hedge to do his business.

I fought with the city park department over the problem of doggy poo. The park department would remove the trash containers in the Fall because the park was “closed” for the winter. The geniuses in the park department did not realize that dogs poop all year.

Funny!

nowhere near as easy as it looks (try it!) → while sitting like above plant your left (or right) elbow on the opposite knee

He’s being thoughtful.

Rodin’s “The Stinker”

Jimbo’s “Garbage Moments” at “Rose Is Rose” comes to mind.

“The Stinker”

To doo or not to doo…

Sorry, but a portion of dog owners would not be smart enough to understand.

It poops, therefore I am.

Don’t forget about cats!

Me too!

It celebrates Descartes’ lesser known quote:

I Scoop, Therefore, I Am.

To quote the title of a children’s book that came out some years ago, “Everybody Poops.”

The Stinker

basically

Humans are the only animal that picks up another’s feces. Very strange.
