Oh HOW embarassing!
You know when you have one of those moments where you wish nothing more than the ground to swallow you up?
I was out in the garden on poo patrol, and I have to admit I am really soppy with my dogs and talk like an idiot to them. Anyway i'd finished doing the poo and Maddy came over for a cuddle so I was scratching her back and then she turned so I was scratching her bum (the base of her spine). This is one of her fave things.
And I was saying "MADDY LIKES HER BUM SCRATCHED, YES SHE DOES, YES SHE DOES", and then I heard a faint man like chuckle from the other side of the fence. So I went inside and up to the back bedroom so I could see who it was over the fence (our garden backs on to our local shops, it's a road only used for the shop deliveries as it's a dead end) and there was only about 10 council workers out there with grass cutters all laughing!
I should have known, they have been parking up there for their breaks all week.
While i'm here I have another one to tell you!
A few weeks ago now I was picking my little boy up from school and I had Dusty with me as he likes to be collected from school by his favourite dog!
Anyway we'd just been out for a walk with the dogs and i'd literally dropped the other dogs off home and went back out for my son. We were halfway there and Dusty decides to do a poo on the grass verge. I went to pick it up but i'd ran out of bags (I know, but it happens to the best of us every now and then i'm sure). So I picked up my son and got a carrier bag from his school as I wasn't just going to leave the poo was I?
So my son is walking Dusty and he ran ahead and was waiting at the road to cross, but obviously he didn't know I was going to stop and pick up a poo, so I did that and I was just about to walk away when I heard an elderly woman shouting at me to stop. I turned around and a lady in her 80's had came out of her house opposite the grass verge where the offending poo once lay, and started shouting at me. I thought, oh she's shouting for not having a bag in the first place, but oh no...
"YOU DIRTY GIRL", she said, "PUT THAT BACK!". It took me a few seconds to realise but she must have thought i'd just went over and picked up a random poo as I had no dog, my son was with Dusty down the street! I replied reassuringly, "no no no, it's ok, it's mine!" Well that was it, the look on her face! She thought I ment it was my personal poo, that I made it there on the grass verge!
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY DOG!" as my son appeared from round the corner, "MAMMY WHATS TAKING SO LONG!".
She did see the funny side of it in the end though after i'd explained!
