I very mu...Thank you, o Philosophical Comment-ers!! I very much appreciate your words of poop and praise!! Thank you.<br /><br />There is actually a scientific reason why butterflies like dog poop ... It would seem that they are after a substance called "albumin" ... which is some sort of protein something-or-other... and dog poop is a readily available source of albumin. Why they need albumin, I'm still a little unclear on. You see, as much as the squirrels like readin' an writin', their science savvy is not quite up to par.<br /><br />Science and proteins and actual facts aside ... I still believe we're dealing with a wonderfully meaningful and multi-layered issue... the ethereal bond that exists between dog poop and butterflies. I'll leave you to ponder further.squirrel_e_girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423530609601487092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125420939243809962.post-45777998197895744982011-07-28T11:42:23.820-04:002011-07-28T11:42:23.820-04:00In life, everything comes back to poop, doesn'...In life, everything comes back to poop, doesn't it?Still Singinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04367989225137914506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125420939243809962.post-20544060573473797862011-07-20T01:11:38.538-04:002011-07-20T01:11:38.538-04:00What a hilarious and strangely insightful post!

I also don't think I'll get quite so giddy when one decides to grace me by landing on my arm...<br /><br />Also, I just checked out your hubby's Death Race post... WTF??

Combining whimsy and curiosity ...I LOVE this post!! Combining whimsy and curiosity and lovin' life all in one glorious ode to dog poop.<br /><br />What says *I love dogs* more than being A-OK with their poop? Maybe that's what butterflies are telling us: they are A-OK with dog poop b/c they love dogs. Everything about dogs is worthy of love, even their poop?<br /><br />Maybe it's more like *everything is worthy of butterfly love* <br /><br />Maybe they are little butterfly buddhists, searching for the jewel in the poop, because they just *know* it's in there...<br /><br />No idea, really, but I sure loved the post. Thank you squirrel_e_grrl. I have some adorable backyard cleanups to attend... (ever noticed what canned pumpkin does to.... oh, never mind.Karenhttp://www.panaceacanada.comnoreply@blogger.com
