Gross Mistake

I've been jogging with Porter and Sadie every morning, which is something we all look forward to. The other day, though, something disgusting happened that taught me a lesson on the importance of being fully awake before taking them outside.

Sadie went poop and I reached down and grabbed it before realizing that the plastic bag was not fully around my hand. I stuck my finger right in the steamy mess. I tried to wipe it off with the plastic bag but I couldn't get it all off. I continued to pick up the poop and went to the garbage can looking for a tissue to continue cleaning my finger.

I couldn't find a tissue but I did find a wet men's tie. It worked pretty well, but I was still traumatized. I didn't have time to go all the way home and then take them out again so I tried to forget about it and continued the run.

The first thing I did when I got home, though, was disinfect that finger.
