"Poop wins"

Somehow—and I don’t know exactly how—I found myself in an online competition with some Northern California bloggers last week.

It wasn’t a post about a remarkable dog or even a lucky dog. It was the one about whether dog poop should be protected as free speech when a constituent sends it to her congresswoman.

It was selected to run as one of five blog posts in Sunday’s Sacramento Bee under “The Blog Watch.”

As my daughter said in her congratulatory email: “Poop wins.”

Congrats! How does it feel to be mentioned by "The Blog Watch"?

Of course poop wins, it's totally logical. Congrats :D

I confess to having picked your poopy blog post for inclusion in The Bee's Sunday Blog Watch column.

For 19 years, I worked at The Bee as the letters editor. I received a lot of angry correspondence over the years. One writer sent me a Payless Disposable Enema and a note on how to use it. Thankfully, no one ever thought to send me dog poop. Needless to say, your post had special meaning for me.

Great post Jan! Conglatulations! Bet you never imagined you'd be a finalist for a post about doggy poop! The blogosphere isn't it wonderful?

Of all your great posts, and THAT's the one they end up publishing! Congrats, but it's just too funny!!!

Jan, congratulations! That's great. Guess poop sells. :)

Awesome.. lol

I'm thankful I have nice congresspersons I don't want to send dog poop to. ;-)

How about cat poop? Is that still covered? Our mayor can still be a bit of an *sshole sometimes..

And I bet you hesitated to write about poop - dog people being the classy, demure and sophisticated individuals that we are. Congratulations!

Good for you! Congrats! Better doggie poopie than cat poop with litter stuck to it!
