[NAGDU] Cleaning up after your guide dog?

Sun Feb 5 21:17:41 UTC 2017

All of these are good exclamation so I'm picking up after your dog. We also have the topic discussion of how firm or statuesque the logs are. Quite amazing actually. Stacie described to me one day when she picked up after cash and she said it was standing up but it was kind of slimy. It turns out that it was a mushroom which was growing in our yard. LOL One of the thing that people haven't mentioned is how if you were picking up after your dog and it's kind of cold out it's a great hand warmer. *smile*
