The pleasure of poo

Our walk took us to the foreshore this afternoon. It was the first time I'd taken George there as it involves crossing the main road and I have this fear that his lead will suddenly snap, he'll run under a car and be squished! You know, the normal fears of a mentally well-balanced woman.

Anyway it didn't, he didn't and he wasn't, so all was well - once we got beyond the first 20-30 yards with him whimpering and being dragged along on his bottom. He is a most peculiar dog.

He enjoys being out really. He had a good romp on the seashore, playing with other dogs and being growled at and fussed over, and even fetching sticks. And he managed to find what was probably the only bit of horse poo on the whole of the five-mile stretch of foreshore (which is washed twice daily by the tide).

Now before I go I must ask you what would you think if you read this newspaper billboard: JUDGE ATTACKS CLUB BOUNCER.

Yes ... but did he ROLL in it?

Titles like that are slightly surprising when I visit here!

At least he doesn't eat it, like Gizmo.

Well, I should HOPE he didn't eat it. Dogs usually prefer it frozen rather than wet and mooshy. ICK!

Now I have no idea what that judge was thinking if he DID attack the bouncer. Was it in connection with his job as a judge or in connection with being IN the club?

I believe that all dogs consider poo a delicacy.

Simi thinks George is very lucky to have found some horse poo!

No, he doesn't roll in it; yes, he does eat it.

He tends to prefer fresh, it's true. But he does like to sample many varities including cow and rabbit.

The judge was speaking after a court case, yes. It's more fun to imagine him trying to get into a night-club though!
