- Cars that recklessly speed past Buddha Baby and I without attempting to move into the other lane.
- People who walk too close behind us, especially if they have dogs. (It makes both me and the Dogs From Hell feel uneasy.)
- Trying to make the Dogs From Hell heel. (I’m convinced that The Dog Whisperer himself would find it impossible.)
- People who walk quickly past us and then slow down when they are ahead of us. (These must be the same people who do this while driving.)
- Feeling obliged to smile at every stranger who passes.
- Strangers who don't smile back once I've put in the effort to smile at them.
- Picking up Dog From Hell One’s poo.
- Picking up Dog From Hell Two’s poo.
- Shamefully carrying the poo around with me until I find a trash bin.
- Not being able to find a trash bin.
- Bumping into Baby Gate’s Sister (poo in hand).
- Having to take a different route so I don’t bump into Baby Gate’s Sister.
- Bumping into Neighbor Guy and having to stand around and talk for fifteen minutes.
- Having to race home early because of a crying Buddha Baby.
- Going for stressful walks.
Namaste,
does indeed sound like a stressful walk. think I'll stay on the couch and watch oprah :)
ReplyDeleteThat does sound stressful! Looks like a walk by yourself would be heaven :)
ReplyDeleteYou pick up other people's dog's poo. You are a saint.

if you pick up other dog's poop you ARE a saint. What on earth would posses you to do that, one HUGE reason i wont own a dog. I really do hate people who don't pick up their dogs poop my landlords upstairs don't do it; but they make sure their dog only poos all over the front lawn.. never to be cleaned eewwww.....
ReplyDeleteI hope you ere talking about your own dog's poo! Right?
ReplyDeleteI leave the dog at home when i go for walks with the baby, i plug the headsets in my ear (sometimes its not even on) and i pack a bottle of water as a distraction device, i start drinking the moment i think someone's about to talk to me and Hum as loud as you can while making full eye contact with baby!
Hope this works for ya!! LOL

I don't go around picking up other people's dog's poo. That would be so weird! I'd be the weird dog poo lady and no one would smile at me for sure!
ReplyDeleteHeadphones are a good idea. I hate feeling obligated to smile at people and say hi. It stresses me out! lol (Obviously it doesn't take much.)
Getting stuck talking to neighbor guy is the worst! Why does he never stop talking????
ReplyDeleteI know! Like, I'm a mom! I don't have time for chit chat!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your support! I´m going to try and stay positive and make the most of my time while in bed rest!!
ReplyDelete#4 cracked me up. Because those are the drivers I 1. yell at in traffic which while useless since they cannot hear me, makes me feel better. And 2. I contemplate running over since I have a big, lifted, (God I'm southern) SUV.
ReplyDeleteWait I just read the comments, how did you people get MM pick's up OTHER poo? 1. Eww and 2. they are clearly her dogs. BTW MM - I'm so glad I own cats.
ReplyDeleteYour post made me laugh! I needed that...thanks!

hahaha...this is so funny. Probably because it's eerily familiar. We have trails to walk on and people on bikes and *gasp* golf carts always try to run us off the road!! And the chit-chatters are definitely no fun! I like to take my walks in peace!
