Ahh, Poop.

For those of you who may or may not know, Tibor went through a phase of eating his own poop. This was so not cool in my book and as far as I know, or rather hoping, he is no longer eating his poop. Why bring this up then? Because I often discuss with Courtney my canine troubles and she turned me onto a blog entry written by Dooce that made me laugh my ass off! Seriously Courtney, you gotta warn a girl when you send her e-mails she may read at work. It was so hard trying not to laugh out loud. I thought I was going to explode. The comments people made were so funny. I actually had to stop reading a few times and calm down. I've decided that poop is pretty much one of the funniest words ever because I'm apparently twelve years old. This entry actually made me not feel so bad that Tibor was a closet poop eater. Apparently this is a very normal dog thing to do. It's still not ok of course and I've now resorted to spraying Tibor in the mouth with bitter apple spray whenever I catch him eating poo then spraying the poo with bitter apple because the stuff we got to put on Tibor's food was not curbing the poop eating; I actually think it encouraged his eating of poo. It's been over a week now since I've caught the pup eating poop so I chose to believe it has stopped, of course, I have been letting him be outside unsupervised more often so that could be why too. In any case, let the dog lick you at your own risk...

Now moving on to non-poop matters...
This photo is officially the most viewed photo on my Flickr account. I don't get it. It's my toes! People are weird about feet. I actually think this is one of my worst 365 Days pictures, maybe people are looking at it in disgust but I've gotten very positive comments on it. Again, I just don't get it. The pictures I think aren't very good people seem to love and the ones I love people seem to think are crap. It's quite fascinating actually. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on this photo as well:

Again, I don't get it. I did this one real quick because I was tired and didn't want to try and be creative but it's gotten a lot of views and people seem to like it. I just think it's weird.

I've also joined a new group in Flickr called Hit, Miss or Maybe in which you post a photo and three people rate it on whether or not they like it. At first, I thought it would be kind of cool but now I'm having second thoughts. I just can't feel bad if someone doesn't like my picture and I'm afraid someone is going to say I hate your pictures because you're ugly and then I'll have to go crawl into a corner, get into a fetal position, and rock back and forth sobbing and that may look a little weird at work. I'm going to give it a try though and see what happens. Here's the first photo I put up:

It's already gotten one Maybe and one Miss so I guess I don't have to cry yet. See, I love this picture but people don't seem to like it as much. I guess it is kind of funky. I was playing around with a photo editor on this one maybe people just don't like that as much. Who knows? Would it be better had I have put some feet in there?

Ah, Dooce. Isn't she great?

I'm so glad to see you getting so into flickr;) You are one brave woman to put your pictures in the Hit, Miss, or Maybe group. I hate groups like that, because saying 'Miss' doesn't really offer any constructive criticism (and I'm overly sensitive and will cry). There are other groups out there you might like where people leave comments giving you suggestions on how to make your photo better--but don't read too much into it, YOU like your photo and that's all that matters (Although I know how frustrating it is to put up a photo you love and get zero comments on it!).

Flickr is one unpredictable beast. My most viewed photo is this one:

Why? Don't know. Yes, it's funny, but not the best photo I've taken. (Photos of my toes also have a lot of views, so thank you foot pervs.)

Dooce is pretty hilarious. :)

Flickr really helps the time go by at work, that's the biggest reason why I joined Hit, Miss or Maybe; it gives me something to do.
I also like your Christmas present picture. :D
