small blobs of poop!

Can you believe I was mind boggled for quite sometime this morning as my dogs and I set off for our morning walk?

Well anyone who knew me probably would be able to believe it, yes...

As we set out and strolled up our road I couldn't believe how many little, no, very tiny blobs of poop were dotted up the middle of the road.

"Well" I said to my 10year old son, "Just you look at that!"

I then went on to chanter about one of my hatreds of some of the unsuitable dog owners who were around and cursed them for not cleaning up after their dogs.

Then I stopped and thought about it for a minute. It was up the middle of the road, in two or three different places. So not likely that a cat had done it, they normally did it in gardens and gravel, quite the secretive poopers and really I then couldn't see a dog owner walking in the middle of the road with their dog.

It was only then that it all came to light. You see, I recognised the poop and which animal left such poop, I saw it in the woods recently and then at first I blamed naughty owners that were not clearing up after their dogs. This was until it I realised it was being left behind by a fox! We have a number of fox run ways around the house next door and across the road down to the back of my neighbours garden!

So the mystery of the poop was solved and I lived another day:-)
