A dog shat on my picnic

So I threw all of my picnic food in the bin because it made me feel like vomiting my spleen out. DH says I was being a bit OTT but honestly, I do not like dog shit.

WIBU to waste food after a dog shit on my picnic blanket?

Sorry I have not set the scene well. I will try again.

DH and DS and I set out for a picnic yesterday afternoon. We found a nice spot under a tree by the river, put our blanket down and laid out our picnic food/plates etc. Then from out of nowhere, this three-legged dog came up and proceeded to do a right sloppy shit on the edge of my picnic blanket (also in bin, but was only £3.99 from Home Bargains so not lost much) His owner pursued, laughing. "She could have picked a better spot!" she said. I laughed and said not to worry, even though inside I was screaming like an Edvard Munch painting.

The owner collected the cack and DH cleaned the blanket with a wet wipe. DH and DS continued tucking into their butties whilst I looked mournfully at mine. Try as I might, I couldn't get the image of the bum gravy spraying out of this dog's bum onto my blanket. DH asked what was up and I said I'd simply lost my appetite due to the heat. I went and threw my sandwiches into the bin. DH said he knew it was because I was feeling icky because of the dog doo and that I was being silly.

Worst bit was about an hour later we walked to an ice-cream shop and I had a devon toffee ice cream and DS started going "ha ha mummy's ice cream looks like that dogs poo from the picnic"

:(

I use the phrase "Don't rain on my parade" i think i'll replace it with "Don't shit on my picnic" Grin

No one likes dog shit. YANBU.

Once I was about to take a bite of a sandwich in a park and a small boy (not one of mine) came up and pissed into the bushes behind me. There was a golden arc of urine centimetres away from my head. Put me right off.

cybboid · 18/04/2011 12:59

I would kill the dog AND the owner if that happened to me

But you know what I mean

Melly19MummyToBe · 18/04/2011 12:59

So a dog just strolled up to your picnic and took a dump and you didn't do anything?

Groovee · 18/04/2011 12:57

cybboid · 18/04/2011 12:57

knittedbreast · 18/04/2011 12:56
