The poop dance

When walking the dog, you learn to read signs of the poop dance.

You know poop is coming by the way dog dances across a chosen area of grass. A spin here, a cha-cha there — you do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around.

This is a good time to learn patience. While the first squat may seem to signal the end is near, be prepared for a fake-out. It might take a few fake squats before the bowels do the final push.

Life is like that.
