an unknown stench

today was that much awaited veteran memorial scout service project at madison square park.
here they are in action:

a lot more than good deeds occurred during this little project.
mares was nicely playing/meandering around the park. when i spot her heading for a trail of dog urine- so i scoop her up most responsibly.

when i gather her up she's one smelly kid; pooped her pants.
i take her over to a secluded bench (because in these gigantic city parks there aren't many restrooms, so creativity must come into play).
to discover she is poop free.
so what is that poop smell??
dog poop
all over her
all over me
worst poop ever.
needless to say this momma was not happy- spit fire flaming mad.
i baby wipe she and i down as much as possible.
abandon the service project.
get on the subway- - dog poop potpourri.

then who surrounds us on the subway?
a mariachi band.
surrounded by a guitar, accordion, and the cheeriest music you ever heard.
real funny nyc- - really funny.

my love/hate relationship with city dogs is at the moment a hate one and i wish they would increase the fines on these bad boys.

i imagine a chain of events like this could only happen in this fine city. so when you arrive- watch your step, but mostly watch your kids step.
