Skat!

I was teaching my Big Kicks soccer class today and there happened to be a large brown cylinder of solid something rather. I just wrote it off as dirt from the soccer field since we recently aerated it.

But one of the moms decided it was poo and that it came from a deer! What I figure is that her thought process was this: large animals make large poo. How ever this poo looked more like the size for a mid to large sized dog. Deer poo is about the size of rabbit poo (which we see a lot of at the fields). I bit my tongue instead of correcting her and just told her I didn't think it was poo. If I had gone on about the lump being too hard (it hadn't flattened much nor had it disintegrated when it was smashed), having too much whole grass in it, or how it was too uniform she might have thought I spend a bit too much time looking at poo. It just can't be helped when you grow up around a lot of dogs and in a wild life area.

Pictures!
