So tonight my girlfriend (wife) and I went out for a walk with our dog Mattie. It is getting to be just about an every night thing. About 9:00 Mattie starts bouncing around and you can tell she is saying…”Come on Dad, can we go for a walk now Dad, can we Dad, I really wanna go for a walk. Please Dad, can we? Can we? Let’s go Dad, come on let’s go!”
So I grab the little lady and the three of us head out for a little walk. It’s about a 25 minute affair from start to finish. Grabbing the little “poop bag”, which I of course get to carry. And of course on the walk I am always the designated “poop picker upper“. So anyway, off we go. We usually start out holding hands, checking out the stars while Mattie takes off at a full gallop letting her nose lead the way. We are really enjoying our quiet little walk around the neighborhood and we just starting to wind down from the day where we can finally start to enjoy each others company. But all good things usually come to an end, and on this night it was the same as it usually is…
It generally takes Mattie about 5 minutes before she finds that special place to do her business. That all important spot where no dog has gone before. She does that little “pre-poop” circling dance that all dogs do and then she finally does her thing. And once she is all done I pull out the grocery bag from my back pocket and do the old turn the bag inside out trick to pick up her “doodie”. And then off we merrily go to finish our walk.
Only trouble is, that now since my hands have been in close proximity with “doggie poo” the little lady wont hold my hand anymore. So the last 20 minutes of our walk is not as romantic as the first 5. What with me holding the “doodie bag” and all. So tonight when we got home I made the Mrs. promise that we would go for a walk; just the two of us. No dog, no “poopie bag”, no distractions…just the two of us. Hand in hand under the stars.
What “poop” do you have distracting you from romancing your main squeeze? Try and get rid of it for just a little while. Just a 25 minute uninterrupted walk around the neighborhood. Hand in hand with the one you love.
