Walking the Dog

You gotta walk yer dog at least twice a day.
Rain or shine.
If ya don’t… you will be cleaning up the mess.

Fairly straight forward... right?!

The other day… we set out around our typical ½ mile loop.
I go for a daily bike ride for exercise, so this loop is just for poop.

I call it the poop walk.

There is an island between two lanes of traffic nearby where we aim.
It’s the neighborhood pooping grounds and since it rains often enough (especially here in May/June), no one picks up the droppings.

Anyway..

On the poop walk we came across a huge black rat snake smashed into the street which the dog promptly grabbed and carried along for the ride!

She even carried it home and chewed on it in the backyard for a couple days… and eventually ate it.

I know, I know… what kind of a dog owner would let their dog chew up and eat a snake.. well, I figured it has just as much nutritional value as the 50lb bag-o-beef-flavored-cardboard-chunks in the garage… and probably tastes better too.

We’ll never know.
