It's Dog Gone Gross

The Japanese people are extremely clean. Extreme is the key word here. Recently we noticed that dog owners carry "wet wipes" to clean their pet's bottoms after pooping and urinating. This particular pet cleaning moment I caught on film, required two people to clean the dog's bottom: one to hold the dog between their legs and the other to do the wiping.

CAUTION: if this is already too much information, then do not read on... there is more. Japanese pets are not cleaned with a quick wipe, but instead are cleaned by proding the poor animal's anal canal with a series of wipes, making sure not a speck of feces or urine remains. We kept waiting for this particular couple to finish cleaning their dog because they were right in the path we were taking.....but they kept cleaning and cleaning and cleaning. It was disturbing and well... dog gone gross.

Actually, that sign really is a caution against tripping over dogs while eating ice cream in the park (chocolate, soft serve).

As a teacher, if I was grading this post, I would applaud your use of descriptive words and detailed phrases. However, as your friend...maybe it is just a little too much information. Yucko!!!

I find it quite a refreshing practice that you have discovered. I expect you to do the same to Jonas next time he needs to poop!

Remember, cleanliness is next to godliness!
