Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper, in his post- Father’s Day musings, recalls how his farmer father and all like him were necessarily burdened with the job of disposing of great amounts of animal waste as a major part of their earthy business, dealing with the often smelly and unpleasant task matter-of-factly and efficiently. It was simply something that had to be done so the farmer dads did it.
Given these historical facts, the keeper often wonders what Dad would think if he were to watch a dog walker patiently wait for the doggy-doo to be produced and then carefully pick it up in a plastic bag to be saved as if it were a special treasure?
Different times and different places, Dad, and the keeper can imagine you watching the dog walker and exclaiming something like “No S—!”
