What's in a Name?

Blog they said. You are The Poop. Earning the title of THE POOP is like getting a peeeightchdee from the University of Poopery. Anyone who works with animals probably understands this. We have four-legged tail-wagging (or tail-swishing) machines who make it. We give them a bowl of material to work with and they promptly begin processing it. All we have to do is pick it up. There is some finesse to pooper scooping and at some point I got really good at it.

I also learned to read it, like some folks read tea leaves. I haven’t gotten to the point of knowing the depositor’s age or breed just yet. I can however discern an array of health issues. If all of our canine guests leave tootsie rolls, it is a good day.

I promise I will never write about this again, but did want to explain why I am proud to carry this title. It is better than being made a ‘Lady’ by the Queen. Now all that remains is to figure out a way to recycle and profit.

If an animal or human eats food like most of us feed our dogs, the POOP isn't great for compost. Animals like horses, cows, goats and the like, eat grass and items our beautiful earth provides. That is the best POOP. There are countries that use human excrement for fertilizer of food items. There system must adjust to this. Not everyone can eat food fertilized like this. Anyway, best to use something a bit more natural to make your compost. Put the POOP in a pile by itself far from the nostrils. Let it go through a heat. It will eventually be where you can handle it. Bury it somewhere it won't matter, or better yet, scatter it somewhere it won't matter. Good luck to all you POOPER SCOOPERS.

Sorry . . .
"Their system must adjust"

"put the "dog" poop in a pile by itself."
