Haha! This is a true story so, trust me, I underSTAND...I find myself picking up the dog poop and going, "Oh - there's that Walmart receipt..." etc. Once, my dog - whom I call 'The Snibbler' - ate half a tube of crimson oil paint (non-toxic, thank God) and later, her poop looked just like red velvet cake! The temperature and consistency did nothing to dispel the illusion, either. Hahaha! So gross!
