OMG- we are THOSE people!!!

So we went for a family walk (dog included) today because the weather was BEAUTIFUL!!! Shortly after we started our walk I asked Jon if he remembered to bring a plastic bag to pick up after Foxy. He said he hadn't because Foxy had been outside almost all day and we were only going for a relatively short walk anyway. So- I didn't really care because she doesn't usually do #2 on walks anyway. Then about halfway into our walk we stopped briefly to take a sip of water and to admire a house that was for sale. We start walking again but Foxy wouldn't budge. I look at her to see what the problem is and OF COURSE she is pooping right in front of this house (that, if you remember, is FOR SALE!). She didn't do her business on the main bit of their lawn- but it was on the grassy part on the other side of the sidewalk- which is still owned by (and the responsibility of) the home owner. I looked at Jon and asked what we should do. Well, there really wasn't anything we could do- we didn't have a plastic bag. So we kind of looked the other way and walked really fast- hoping the owners weren't watching us out their window. Now- you may be asking "Did you ever go back and pick it up?" - and my answer to that is "No, no we did not". Therefore- we have become THOSE people.....the people that others curse out for not cleaning up after their dog. Please forgive us- it was a one time occurrence and will (hopefully) never happen again! But if those owners have a dog- I welcome them to bring their dog to our lawn to return the favor....
