High Noon: Dealing With Dog Barf

On his Facebook wall, Realtor Tom Torgerson writes of a near pratfall Monday night. Tom: "You may find it funny that I almost fell on my arse after sliding barefoot in the dark through a pile of dog barf on our hardwood floor. Question: Odor Eaters prescribed here?"

DFO: This brings to mind Thanksgiving 2010 when my daughter-in-law noticed a pile of dog barf in the corner of the dining, just as we sat down to the day's feast. Since I'd just come in from shoveling snow off the garage roof and hadn't showered yet, I was immediately selected as the guinea pig to clean it up. Adding insult to injury, one of my smart aleck kids snapped a photo of me handling the dastardly deed. The dog is still alive

Question: Do you have any good stories involving a close encounter with dog barf or poop?
