Autumn leaves and dog eggs 👿

Yep. My month old Stumpy was thusly sullied with a stinking dog egg last weekend. I wasn’t happy.

I still think that inconsiderate owners should be forced to display their pet’s droppings on their mantelpiece until they learn the error of their ways.

Try it at night. It’s like a very stinky combination of Russian roulette and bomb disposal.

Think of the dog owners… I’ve wasted a lot of time looking for a turd in the leaves with a torch.

well it looks like cheesybeanZ just found it for you!!

I know both sides , dog owner searching in the leaves and riding through other people’s dog eggs .

We totally need to bring back white dog eggs, or better yet invent some sort of fluorescent dog food to ensure that any Farages dropped on the trail can be easily seen and avoided.

I was stupid enough to play fetch with an orange tennis ball yesterday.

If you run over that, could I have it back please?

Best place to look is where your dog has just been squatting for the last few seconds with that awkward, strained expression on it’s face. 😀

Stumpy that depends on the dog being within 5m of your current position so you can get to it before it moves off. If you miss that window of opportunity then it’s time to carefully quarter the area where the squatting took place relying on a sense of smell and acute vision.

Or, if you have two dogs, both of whom are crapping a decent sprint from the path, trying desperately to mark the rough distance and direction from the path for one “event” whilst running to the other.

It should be a new Olympic sport.

True.

Years ago my uncle tried his two dogs with breath freshening chews as they had pretty bad halitosis. They were bright green.
I don’t think they made any difference to the dog’s bad breath, but they turned their turds green – exactly the same colour as the lawn. Now that was proper camouflage! He gave up on the chews pretty quickly once he realised!!

Dog crap in the leaves ruined Sunday’s ride @ 4 miles. Got on my glove (must have flew, I didn’t touch anything) then onto the grip. A foam grip! 🙁

Washed the gloves all by themselves with bleach. Washed the bike and used bleach cleaner on the grips, too. PITA.

Dog crap in the leaves splashing up onto my bike and my face made my ride home from work distinctly unpleasant!
