Guess what this photo is about? That’s right, it’s me telling Piles off (by telepathy of course; I read in the how to bring up your dog to be a decent individual-book that it’s no use telling dogs off for something after the event, as they won’t make the connection).
But he knows he’s done something and so do I, just by smelling his breath:
Yes, when we were walking yesterday morning and I stopped to look at yet another eyesore ruining a vista in Pui O, namely a big metal fence being erected, Piles had a good mouthful or three of … some fresh poo. But not cow poo and not dog poo; no, human poo. It’s the only poo he ever eats.
Actually, so far he’s only rolled in human poo but who knows if he hasn’t sneaked a couple of swallows while he’s been at it. However it is clear that when it comes to dog/human poo inconvenience, just eating is so much better than eating and rolling. I think you know what I mean.
But who has a crap in the middle of a concrete footpath? Without using paper? I found myself fervently hoping it was the human poo from a child, for some reason.
How could you tell? You seem to be something of a poo-aficianado yourself.
And surely you’ve seen enough of the world to know that people from very many parts of it don’t use toilet paper?
how did you know it was human?
And after telling him off, did you let him giv you a big slobbering lick with his tongue all over your face, like many people do who own dogs as pets..yuck!
Leigh: So you don’t have any experience with defecation at all?
Jimsee: Piles isn’t that kind of dude. He’ll give me a curt nod on a good day.
smog: See above. AND I’ve cleaned it off him when he’s rolled in it more than once. It’s human all right. And really – if it was dog poo he liked to eat etc. I’d be doing but hosing him down every day. Pui O is knee deep in dog poo because of selfish bastards.
It’s amazing how many people appear never to have been near human poo? Never been to the toilet? Never changed a nappy?
Smog, Leigh et al, human poo may look like other poos and smell like other poos, but I am told it does taste different.
Ack, well, dogs will be dogs.
