A service person at our car dealer used to have a Dog Shaming calendar. I remember one. "I couldn't catch the rabbit, so I ate the rabbit poop" - that's what ours do.

One really wanted to get a rabbit, but it ran right by him and by the time he moved it was beyond the fence. It could have stopped to say "Eh, what's up, Dog?" and still gotten away.

So he eats rabbit poop when we don't get to stop him.

My musical soundtrack tonight is Leonard Cohen, Songs of Love and Hate, which a reviewer should come with razor blades. However, that is hard to do with digital versions (I have the CD, though, and it did not come with razor blades)

I will not inflict the soundtrack here.

Physical or on the computer?
(I find the best way to find something on the computer involves Linux. I believe the utilities are available on a Mac, and are with Windows Linux Subsystem, but are not exactly easy to use.)

Our dog Darby who passed away in December of 2019 used to eat our cat's poop if we didn't stop him.  It's gross!

We have a friend who had to re-home a dog of his for that behavior and some other really troublesome problems.  In the newspaper ad our friend added "Not a finicky eater". LOL

Not that I haven't had frustrating losses on the computer, too---but this was (is) a paper bill showing a particular charge.  Annoying as hell.

Indeed it will be interesting.

We had a coprophage. We had to watch her carefully. Great for finding poop we missed.

6 lb dog who epitomized the term "bitch". Even a 50 lb dog would not think of challenging her for her food.

But she danced like she wanted to mate with him, and he looked at her like "WTF, you're the size of my head!"

Reply to @PBJ3 in 8:  Our dog had a beard.  We could always tell where he was because he'd come upstairs with litter bits stuck in his beard.  We finally gave up worrying about it and just referred to them as "litter treats'.

I expect the "Trump 2024" flag I saw yesterday will be there for a while. All the houses around with bronze and gold stars..

I live in a redneck town. Lots of retired military. 

The only BLM sign is on a house built for railroad workers and is low-rent.

I think it's going to be pretty faded by then.  It will look like they are waving the white flag in surrender!  Hopefully they bought a few of them and can replace them as needed.

I just hope it isn't declared illegal by 2022, never mind 2024

I'm afraid we'll have committees deciding who can run, like in Iran

Our dog didn't have a beard but sometimes he'd have a little bit of litter on his muzzle.  We were lucky that he was never prone to kissing.

Little OR is in bed.  So now I get to spend the next hour or so drafting a polite reply to an organization that has sent a lengthy paper to my employer, clamoring that was reorganize major aspects of our business along super-woke lines, and asking what  our timeframe might be for implementing their demands.  I'd like to reply "f**k off", but I can't, so instead it has to be more along the lines of "how about... never?  Does never work for you?"*

I'll drop a good morning here while I wait for the Monday thread. Dealing with a coworkers who has good instincts on statistics but keeps forgetting how a mean is generated. So he says he wants to sum up the scores and then divide by the number of students, but he doesn't want to use the mean. *eye roll*
