I was perusing a fellow med student's blog last night and was interested to about her studies in the field of diarrhoea (it's ok, she's American and will be practising in America so she's allowed to spell it without an 'o') and how it is actually quite strange to spend a whole day learning about poo. I must confess that I am a bit of an amateur scatologist, and although I do find it gross, it is sort of interesting, comparing what goes into the dog with what comes out.
This was on my mind a few minutes ago as I was on a poo-scooping. There were reports of three dumps under the clothesline, one under the bathroom window (her two favourite spots) and some on the FRONT LAWN. Now the front lawn is not in Pooka's territory. She is confined to the backyard except when under direct supervision. Hence I would know if she had been busy out the front. So I took my yellow scoop out the front, grumbling about the neighbour's dog having no manners and dumping on our lawn. HOWEVER I think a possum might be the culprit. I was wondering why Barky from next door was doing such weird poos, then I realised that they were actually very similar to guinea pig droppings. And the closest thing to a guinea pig that hangs around that area is a possum.
So anyway, I felt quite proud for being able to declare both Pooka and Barky innocent in the case of the front yard dump!
