Ever since we got Leroy I always tell my kids-"Don't leave your stuff where Leroy can get it, on the floor, table, counters, etc. You would think after numerous things have been eaten or destroyed they would get the hint. Nope!
So the other day was another lesson learned for my 8 year old son who collects squishies, (for those of who don't know what squishes are they are little pencil toppers in the shapes of various animals) the "cool" thing for 2nd graders or so I am told. Anyway, my son traded with one of his friends a walrus, or seal, that was considered "rare" by the 2nd graders. He was so proud when he came home from school with it, carried it everywhere with him for a few hours until he made one fatal mistake leaving it on the edge of the dinner table, Leroy quickly made his move when no one was looking and swallowed it. Oh boy, it was the end of the world as my son new it. He cried for hours and insisted that I take Leroy to the pound!
So, the next morning before he went to school he asked me that after I took Leroy to the pound if I could go out in the back clean up dog poop and look for his squishy. Of course, I told, thinking to myself yeah right like I'll ever find it.
So after taking Leroy to the pound(just kidding) I went and looked for the squishy, went to pick up the first pile I came to and omg there it was, staring straight up at me this little grey seal, fully intacted in a pile of poop!:shocker: The thought crossed my mind to just scopped it up and put it in the bag, but then I remembered my son's heartbroken face, so I chissled off the frozen poop with my shovel went inside and got a pair of gloves and saved the squishy!
Scrubbed it, soaked it, scrubbed and soaked it some more(it's still soaking) but when my son came home he was so excited that it was saved!!! He says that he can't wait until it's done soaking and he can go to school and trade it since it is now even more rare than it was when he got it!!!
Just wanted to share this, and hope I am not not the only one who has had to dig through their dogs poop!
