Somehow when we were having the dream about living in the countryside with animals, cleaning up their crap didn't feature. At the moment I feel like I spend half my time clearing up crap created by various animals. The pigs are fine as it is just left in their field to fertilise the veg that will grow there later. But the cats, dog and chickens poop (as the americans say) all needs something doing with it and they all seem to create SUCH a LOT.
The cats will be better (hopefully if they don't use the sunflowers pot or something) when they can be allowed outside and can take themselves off somewhere else to do it, their litter tray is grotesque and I would not sign up for an indoors cat and dealing with that full time.
Poppy gets loads of praise when she does a big jobbie - and we have to stand there saying 'toilet' 'toilet' while she does it, so that alledgedly in the future she can do it on command. We were origionally going to say 'jobbie' 'jobbie' for this training word but we realised we might have to say it in public at some point and even through maybe French people wouldn't understand it us cracking up every time we had to say it might not help. It then has to be disposed of somehow as we don't want the garden littered with dog shit. At the moment it gets picked up in a poly bag and shucked out, but we might get a spade (jobby wheeker) and shuck it in the bushes/the cows field instead.
At the moment there is a big bag of cat and dog poo in the car waiting to go to the bins at the end of the drive. In Camden they occasionally went through the rubbish (to find something with an address on it) and then sent you rude letters if you were putting it out of the wrong day or other rubbish crimes. I hope noone here has that job as they would get some nasty suprises.
The chickens also seem to create a giant amount of droppings for small animals, but at least we can put that on the compost and eventually it will do the veg good.
I decided no photo on this post...
