As the owner of two small dogs and resident of a townhouse community where you can and will be lynched for not cleaning up after your dogs, puppy poop is more on my radar than on most people's. So it was with no small interest that I stumbled onto this Real News story.

In the Spanish town of Torrelodones, puppy poop was a bit of a problem, so the town council erected a $2500 inflatable "art" work, a 9-foot high representation of poop. The thought behind this stunning sculpture was that by creating awareness, dog owners would be more inclined to scoop.

The success of this idea is unknown, however, because the Puppy Poop Pile Sculpture was stolen! This leads to many many questions that sadly will go unanswered except in our imaginations.

As to our bridge tie in? How many times have we had to bid with just a pile of said poop? How many times have we made poopie bids?
