Day 128 – It all started out as a normal walk, doing our normal thing in the drizzle, which I didn’t tell Willow was happening, and by the time she found out, she was rainy moist anyway.
There was a couple of people milling about, but generally, the green was ours. Willow Squatted - no not a wee but a number two, well actually it didn’t even make numbers, she squatted and didn’t do the do. People are watching expectedly, what do you do? There’s nothing there that needs picking up and as you know I am an avid collector of Willows deposits. Do I show my poker hand and fake it, bend down and pick up the imaginary poo to fore fill the Social expectations of society. Or walk away knowing there is nothing there.
But people are watching. I cave, I make a big song and dance about retrieving a scented nappy bag and do big over exaggerations movements liken to that of a clown plucking a bunch of flowers out of their cuff. The only issue is I would end up with an empty bag, so I made sure to tug of the tuffs of grass filling the said bag.
Also, I don’t know about you, but when I walking and know I’m coming back the same way, I hate hate hate, walking with the filled bags, mostly poop-filled, but not in this instance. We’re still within the eye line of milling people and knowing we are going down the locks and back up, it begs the question, will I be called out or challenged if I leave bag deposit here and collect it on the way back? I leave it to collect it on the way back up the locks.
I can only conclude that I am without a shadow of a doubt overthinking this whole activity. How can picking up poop be so complicated, and yet it takes real talent, such as myself to make it so. I’m sorry you’re never going to get this time back.
