    Once upon a time it was last Tuesday and I had an Imperfect cabbage so instead of making tacos I made this plant-based version of a meat thing my mom used to make for us.

    The Poop Thief

    One of the best things about being a dog mom is the amount of time and energy you get to spend monitoring poop. In case you ever worry that my life is getting too glamorous.

    I admit, I’m kind of a slob. My desk is a disaster. There are usually about 147 things on it, only 8 of which are strictly necessary to my workflow.

    In the interest of not going completely insane due to my dogs barking at every single thing that has the audacity to make any kind of a sound outside of our house, I play music via the iHeartRadio app through the living room TV so it’s audible throughout the house.

    So I DID write a blog post yesterday…

    Granted, it wasn’t great literature, but it was a post, and it was written before midnight, and it would have kept me on track for only being one post behind on Blogtober.

    And then it vanished.

    You know those dogs that aren’t quite like other dogs? The ones with malformed or missing limbs, or mangled faces, or no eyes? You see those dogs, be it in real life or on the Internet, and you know some shit went down somewhere. Birth defect, injury, abuse, something went very wrong at some point in each of those dog’s lives and rendered them different dogs than nature intended.
