People poo

Why?

Why do people defecate in a public place, not far from a perfectly adequate toilet?

Why do they then not clear it up or at least make some effort to bury it?

Why do they leave it there for MY dog to roll in?

Cousteau and I had a perfectly nice day. A bit cold (6 degs) and a bit wet (well, a lot wet). We had a walk in the torrential rain out in the sticks (no errant human poo there). On the way back, I saw that the river looked great in the evening light and stopped to take a few pics (this is one of them).

I turned around to head back to the car and was face to face with a steaming Cousteau, looking rather pleased with himself. I always carry a rag in the car and got as much off him as possible with that but had to put him in the car on a blanket and hope he didn't move around too much.

Anyway, long story shot. He's now clean(ish) after half a bottle of shampoo and umpteen buckets of warm water. I'm clean, though I can still smell it (I'm sure this must be psychological as my hands have been scrubbed, re-scrubbed and then scrubbed again for good measure). Cousteau is outside the study door - he still smells and will get another wash tomorrow.

I'm grumpy. He doesn't know what he's done and it's all because of some inconsiderate b*****d who didn't see fit to clean up after him/herself.

Grrrrrr. Hurrumph.

The end.

I'm over it now, no really, I am. Grrrr.
