Tonight, it was planned for the spaniel to go to the vet. We are lucky that the vet is only a 10/15 minute walk away. Especially as i got a text from LSP at 4.55 to say that I had to take the dog to the vet as they were unwell. The dog had to be at the vet for 5.40!
I rushed home to collect the spaniel to walk him briskly to the vet........
Usually we walk our dogs together, If we do them separately then the 20% kicks in. Unfortunately you cannot take them to the vet together as the Labrador is a tart! she loves attention and does not like it if another dog is getting any, especially from a stranger (including boys).
so the extracting of 1 dog from the house is difficult to say the least, I did get 1 dog to the front door and the other in the sitting room. However, it was the wrong dog in the wrong place!
Getting the right dog in the right place (outside) had to do done quickly and involved the clever use of doggy treats!.
Ok, so I am outside, with the right dog on the lead speeding down the street. What I had not managed to do was pick up any dog poo bags. But that's ok, i always have some in some pocket or other......
So he does his business (stop reading now if you are eating your tea) and i search through my pockets for a poop bag. After much searching, I come to the conclusion that i do not have one!!!!
Hmm what do I have, I know a tissue, yes that will do, its not to far to the nearest poop bin. So I bend over in full view of all of the traffic picking up poo with a tissue and then carrying it down the street, which included crossing the road. Funnily enough the cars stopped for me, its amazing what carrying poop does to driver's!
So I make it to the poop bin with a clean if not smelly hand, then carry on to the vet. vet trip went well was just his 6 month check. on the way out I picked up a poop bag, just in case!
However, I know our dogs well and they only have 1 poop on a 30 minute walk.
We get home and I quickly swap the dogs over and take the Labrador out for her walk.
We walk, she does her business, I bag it with my bag from the vet and pop it in the dog bin!
We carry on walking, I am grumbling a bit as I am in my work shoes and the walk is very very muddy.
We carry on and then she stops.....and goes to the loo again!
A 2nd poop and no bag..........so i go back through my pockets, no tissues left, I go through again....Ha a wotsits packet!!! Yes I used a wotsists packet, but at least this time there was no one around to see...
I came home, put some bags in my pocket and washed my hands 3 times......love Dogs......
