Duh, I know. If you have been reading my blog for a while you have already figured this little factoid out but I wasn’t convinced until today.
Yesterday my daughter and her friend went outside with the idea that they would start the garden. I even bought my daughter some seeds at the hardware store when I picked up a filter for my furnace. I knew she was going to plant them and even mentioned to her that it was a bit too early. Given the fact that she intended on planting them at the bottom of the slide and that it was still way too early I explained that the poor beans didn’t stand a chance.
She didn’t care she had something to do and since she was occupied I didn’t care either. Yeah she and her friend were playing in the mud, yes they were filling up containers of water and dragging them outside since I still haven’t turned on the hose. Already so many things were wrong with this project but I didn’t care. My daughter and her friend have been on spring vacation for the last week and I just wanted her to find something to do that was outside instead of inside.
Even when I noticed that she had tired of planting real seeds and decided that planting crayons and jelly beans was the way to go I didn’t object. I did explain that neither the crayons or the jelly beans would produce a plant she just shrugged her shoulders and told me I didn’t know anything about gardens.
The thing is I do. I also know a thing or two about dogs and when you plant jelly beans eventually the dog will find them. He will dig for them and then he will eat them along with a lot of dirt. He may even get a crayon or two and since he isn’t the most picky of eaters he will eat the crayons as well.
I’ve had dogs who eat crayons before. I know how it all comes out. Crayons, jelly beans and dirt are not the best diet for a dog. I could have stopped this. I knew the dog was going to get covered in dirt, eat a bunch of stuff he shouldn’t and then puke it up on my floor. What hasn’t been barfed up will come out the other end. At least it will be colorful.

Oh, I’m so sorry you’ll have rainbow poo in due time, but your post killed. I seriously needed a laugh today. Thank you, my dear.
Goats are much more dignified eaters than dogs. We would do no such thing. Shame on your doggie, shame. Got any apples?
Kathy, anytime, my misfortune and stupidity is here for you to enjoy.
Pricilla, Stanley will eat apples only if cut in the little wedges. He will not eat grapes, peas or anything that is even near ketchup. I thought goats ate all kinds of junk? Also, your soap is a great facial soap. I’ve given up my Clinque addiction in favor of your soap. I can’t say enough great stuff about it. In fact I left a bar on my laundry tub and the water that splashed on it and dribbled down cleaned all the scum that had accumulated over the years. It really is amazing stuff.
One of my favorite “funniest home video” clips I saw once (can’t recall where) was someone who video taped a dog pooping out some balloons it had eaten.
Gdad, I had to pull a piece of carpet, about 3 inches by 5 inches, out of the dog’s butt once. There was just this little string hanging out and I figured someone had to do something. The dog hated me for hours after that. I’m surprised he likes me at all since I took him to the vet shortly after the carpet event and had him neutered.
“Rainbow Dog poop”
Great name for a blog, dontcha think?!
My three dogs have never disappointed me. Sometimes I wonder how the hell they ate that.
You wouldn’t believe some of the sh*t I’ve seen in my dogs’ sh*t. Maybe you could just pass the colorful ones off as Easter eggs.
Your daughter is too cute! Dogs are shitheads! lol I can’t believe they did that! It’s amazing what my dogs eat and what they wont!
Chris, I think it makes a better band name.
Kim, I’ve had dogs who ate mirrors with who were no worse for wear. My current dog, and most of the other dogs I have had will not eat olives. Someone told me they have the texture of frogs and dogs won’t eat frogs. Whatever.
Dizzblnd, she can be cute and most people think she is but it gets old after a while. She will grow up to be a great director or something and I will have belittled here so I will keep my mouth shut.
You’re having one of those days too, eh?
My dog loves crayons. He hunts them out and eats them. And yes, the poops are rainbows.
Rainbow colored dog poop – something to look forward to.
On the other hand, maybe all those colors will come out looking like the Mona Lisa or the Virgin Mary and you can sell it on ebay for big bucks.
Lovely mental image. I know it’d be gross to ask to see a picture of the rainbow poo, so I won’t. In fact, I wasn’t even thinking of asking. Swear.
Mary, I’m not really having one of those days. All things considered a little rainbow poop is nothing in the game of life, as long as it is outside.
Lola, what a great idea. I should have saved all the corn poops that were under all the snow. They looked like corn poop and not some great work of art but maybe I don’t have the eye for art?
Frogs, I will indeed wait with baited breath every time I let the dog out. I will take a picture and post it. It’s not like I haven’t posted pictures of dog poop before.
Goats are more discriminating than people think. Or we are prima donna goats here on the farm. For example, we will not eat Granny Smith apples, they are too tart. Nor will we eat raw potatoes. And while Abby, Michael and I love carrots, Luke will not eat them. The male person says the publicist has spoiled us but I find that hard to believe….
I am glad you like my soap!
I, too, am into buying time–anything that keeps the kids busy…
Rainbow poo! How exciting 🙂
Thanks for posting this – just what I needed on a Monday morning.
