Nevermind, didn't see who's post it was in response to. In the future, spread used kitty litter around the house to clean it up. Works like a charm!

My significant other was gracious enough to cook an excellent family meal. It is her mother's recipe of authentic NY style meatballs.

I volunteered to clean the kitchen in appreciation. She cooked the meatballs in vegetable oil...I think. To me, it is always a question of what to do with oil. You can't pour that down the drain. The city gets pissed if you throw that in the trash in a jar. So at the time, I thought it was a good idea to pour it in a little area on the side of our house that is covered in gravel.

Our dog was acting really weird last night and kept pacing the bedroom. When I took him out this morning, I notice his poop was rocky. Literally it had a bunch of gravel rocks in it. In a panic, I called my brother-in-law who is a vet. He was kind enough to calm me down, and told me that dogs have been eating dumb shit for thousands of years and are built to handle this. He let me know I need to check for blood in the stool and/or if he throws up bring him in right away. I fed him some wet treats to clear him out, checked on him during lunch, and got home to find him ok & happy. I am a lucky dumbass bastard.

Let this be a note to all pouring out the grease outside is generally not a good idea, and especially if you have animals. Stupid, stupid, stupid me...

On the plus side, I'm not sure if my fiancée will ever trust me to clean the kitchen again.

How is it possible to be this dumb?

He'd tell you but it's NSFW - Not Supposed (to be) For Writing. He'll have to call you to explain.

Because dogs will *never* attempt to eat anything seems to smell good / interesting /enticing?

Aluminum foil with chicken grease on it? Nah, they'd never try to eat that. Oh, a burger slid off your plate onto the deck? A dog would never try to lick the wood.

Dogs just know not to eat anything in the dirt. Your astute awareness of canine behavior is an example to all.

Even if you don't have a dog.. using your property as an oil dump is never a good idea.

Thank you all for the healthy criticism. I'm happy to report, despite this unfortunate occurrence, the dog is doing just fine and I have learned from this experience.

I got all this trash that the dump won't take. I'll just bury it in the backyard.

Cracked fuel pump assembly. As my grandson would say, "I hate this day!".

Used?

Sure, use up fresh unused kitty litter if you want. It's dirt cheap.

Or you know...mutipurpose the used litter.

Your call.

Neighbors said they couldn't believe Chavez could be punished more heavily than the perv, who they claim holds regular sex parties at his nearby home.

"They call him the nudist around here," Bill Morang told KOB.com. "Apparently he's been looking in other peoples' windows."
