Blame it on Adina

[F, Calla & Luca]

Let me explain. OFL--our fearless leader --Adina is always exhorting us to excel by expounding upon the need for exacting scientific method. So following in her excellent tradition I embarked upon an experiment today. After 2 weeks of extreme weather, I excitedly exited for an excrement collection. In the interest of complete disclosure let me say that a few leaves, twigs, and plastic bags were part of the bagful of you know what (expletive deleted). But the collection also excluded areas that are still under snow. I examined the "collection" and found it weighed 12.5 pounds!!!  I was surprised since it felt like 30-40 pounds to me. Still, it seems excessive to me. Now I am exhausted. I'm sure you'll agree that my doodles are exemplars  of excrement expellers. I exonerate them of all blame since they can't help it. Clark and Adina need to find a solution for those of us who can't exploit the Doogie Doo Drain.

Now I'm really jealous... I just saw the 'unveiling' so to speak, of the new poop dispossal. We don't have sewers so we can't use it... wish there was some way to link that into our cesspool... but with the "weight" of the poop around here, we may need a bigger cesspool! LOL

[F, Calla & Luca]

I understand since I can't use it either. But remember, even with it, we'd still have to do the collecting.

True...true... but it can get really stinky during the summer months... after this winter, I'm kinda' looking forward to the sweet smell of melting poop... ok - I've officially gone over the edge... I'm getting "poo-nchy" now... gonna hit the hay! LOL Goodnight!

What do you have if not a sewer?  Septic tank?  

[shelly]

We here on the hilly, north shore of Long Island have giant cement tanks called a "cesspool" which actually flows into a septic tank. The cesspools are under ground in either the front or back yard. The south shore does have a sewer system in some areas that are less hilly and in a more closely situated neighborhoods.

Oh my gosh- this is funny. My bag had to be a ten pounder today- the snow finally melted and my poop area in the yard was embarrasing. Had frozen poops so didn't have to deal with the smell at least.

[Leslie and Halas]

I didn't officially weigh the bag today, but it had to be around 10 lbs. AND it started hailing while I was scooping the poop!
