Catching Dog Shit - The best home videos are here
I wonder if Larry (The Pug) really understands how close he came to receiving XXIVII. He has been given several opportunities today to go out and to do his "Business" as it were. As I sat briefly on the couch, I caught him. He wasn't looking out the door and wining, as if to say, "Boy I am so sorry but I need to go out and drop a rotten spike. I know I have had three or four prior opportunities, but I could really use this opportunity to go out now and do it". No, this is not what happened. He circled, not for 20 minutes outside, or even near the door, he went over to the far corner of the room and squatted right there.
The funny thing is, even though I booted him in mid- pinch, he still had enough time to pinch off three loaves. I tell you he is one lucky Pug. This was no accident and he was not penned up for hours without the opportunity to make the right choice. This is a direct violation of house rules.
You may try and argue that he was trying to warn us. FOUL, PISH POSH. I saw no warning. All I saw was complete and utter disrespect. You may be curious why an animal like Larry would do such a thing? Here is the answer and we can draw real-world parallels. There is no deterrent. Without swift justice, there can be no change in behavior.
Larry has proven time and time again that he is D I R T Y. Growing up, dirty animals "went to the farm". In my later years I have come to the understanding that "going to the farm" was code for "Get the pipe", "ride the lightning" or be "put to sleep". Unfortunately for me and fortunately for the D I R T Y pug, my wife will not let this happen. She will be perfectly fine with bear-handing dog excrement with shopping bags and hosing down the Tan Berber carpet with Pet Stain Treatment. I on the other hand am quite upset with the dog treating this house like a toilet.
Although I will not be able to Pipe Larry, he will OBEY.
This is how.

If your "domesticated" animal has the chronic habit of depositing feces in your home on a regular basis, and without regard is something you can live with; I can only surmise that the list of things you can't live with must be a very short one.
Someone please pass the Whitman's Sampler, I'm a bit peckish.
