Flecka Is A Shit Eater

Fleck is a shit easter. She is not the only dog I have known who does this. But, most dogs don't. It is not all that common. As a result, Flecka has bad breath, even for a dog. To say she has bad breath is like saying werewolves have mild grooming issues. 

Flecka is only a friend, my best dog friend. She tells me everything. But, we are not romantically involved. There are several dogs and women in this area that I have been romantically and carnally entangled with. But, she is not one.

Jack likes to tell people to "Eat shit," or "Eat shit and die." He can be very creative with his language, especially with me and the boys. Sometimes it takes a lot for me not to laugh, even as a dog. Yes, dogs laugh. If that is news to you, then you are not paying attention.

But, Jack also eats shit. He eats a lot of shit at work. He gets it from his boss, from his company in general. He says no one can survive in his company, a large telecom corporation, without muchos eating of shit and brown nosing.

Brown nosing has very different meanings for humans and dogs. For humans it is a bad thing. For dogs it is merely a way of greeting friends, or new acquaintances. It saves having to ask the question, "So, what did you have for dinner last night?"  

Even in human form I do not understand this thing you humans have with shit. It's just shit. You eat food in, shit it out, bag it up, move on to the next meal.  What's the big deal?
