As much as I would have liked to have left my neighbor's belongings in a doggy bag on their doorstep, I would never do it. Though my other neighbor left a big sign saying, "When your dog poops on OUR doorstep, or on the street, please oblige yourself to pick it up with a plastic bag and throw it away properly."
To make matters worse, the neighbors had three pet bunnies, adorable fluffy bunnies, that ran around in their courtyard. The other day their pet bunnies became edible. The neighbors BBQ-ed the bunnies and had them for lunch.
As for what was inside the doggy bag tied up with a pink ribbon?
It wasn't dog poop,
nor dog biscuits,
not a brownie, nor raspberries,
nor my brother's fantasy baseball team,
nor a poop-er scooper, nor chocolate truffles, nor summer brown bulbs… Though those were reasonable, good answers, except for my brother's guess regarding the baseball team.
What did I put in that doggy bag? The winner, the one who guessed correctly was Alexis Lozano. "Nothing at all, just air inside a pretty brown paper bag tied up with a pretty pink ribbon."
The winner of the most creative answer goes to Annie of Bunny Bungalow: "I"m guessing
that the bag tied with a pink ribbon contains something from the
Brocante, perhaps a something depicting St. Francis of Assisi, patron
saint of animals and the environment."
AND, because your guesses were brilliant and made me laugh, I thought I would give you another "REAL" guessing game.
Can you tell me what this is? It is about one inch tall. Dated around 1920s. I see these regularly at the brocante, though not in such a psychedelic container.
Again, the first one who guesses it correctly will win a small, French brocante, prize, and the person with the most creative answer will win something from the brocante as well. The answer will be revealed tomorrow morning.
Happy Guessing, and thank you for playing along yesterday, more importantly for thinking I would never do such a thing as leave their dog poop on their doorstep even if I have stepped in it many of times.
