It's cool this morning under the big oak tree so it's a good day to scoop Annie's poop. Not saying there is ever a good day to scoop poop. As I was going about doing so I got thinking about what the old folks used to say when I was growing up, "she's getting too big for her britches". So when I'm getting too big for my britches I scoop poop and scooping poop is high on the list of things that keep me humble.

Haha, that’ll do it for sure! Have a great day Sara.

Scooping concrete cat poop is just as humbling.

Debbie, scooping poop not a favorite of mine either.
Vanessa, oh yes, scooping kitty litter keeps us humble too.
Krista, shoveling cow mature would definitely out rank scooping dog or cat poop. lol

Yes, Judith, that would do it. Cleaning the John is a humbling chore too.

I am thankful that my toilet is not like the ones in Egypt and the countryside in Turkey
