The Pink Bag Mystery

Matt and I have solved the pink bag mystery in our neighborhood! So soon after we moved into our house and started to take the dogs on walks in the neighborhood we would keep finding these pink bags with dog poop thrown on the ground in our yard and in the notorious spot for the pink bags to always appear. We live in a neighborhood with a lot of dogs so we were always wondering who the rude dog owner was that thinks it ok to throw their dogs feces down on the ground in stead of just packing it home to throw away like most sane dog owners. Now don't get me wrong I some what applaud there efforts for initially picking up the poop but really what is the point if you going to put it in a plastic bag to throw on the ground only a few yards away from the initial drop site. If your not going to pick it up and dispose of it correctly why not just leave on the ground to eventually become one with the earth again some day. Putting it in a bag and letting it rot on the side of someone property just seems wrong to Matt and I. So to get to the part of how our great detective work paid off. One Sunday as Matt and I were upstairs putting our laundry away and Tyson was looking out our bedroom window he started to bark so we looked to see what he was barking at. It was the guy in our neighborhood who has two beagles, we noticed his dog was dropping a load in one of our neighbor's yards and low and behold he whips out some pink plastic bags out of his pocket at this point Matt and I are intrigued to see what he going to do with the bag. So after he pick up the poop the dog owner continued on his walk he was holding the bag and walking towards the notorious pink bag spot and to both Matt and I dismay he throws the bag down turns around and walk back towards his home. At this point Matt and I are shocked and saying "no he didn't just walk to the post to thrown the bag down and now turn back towards his house." One thing you should know is the distant between the dump site and this guys house is maybe a half of a block. Is the poop really that heavy that he can't carry back to his house? I think Not! Well the mystery is solved and I am very tempted to deliver all his little pink bags to his yard and leave a little note saying I think you forgot something! Pictures Courtesy of my iphone

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone! The Robertson family has had a nice day. First Matt and I went to church then we took the dogs for a nice walk in Wissahickon park. We hope everyone else is having a great weekend!

Remember Me

This Video is one someone forward to me a while back and I really think it is speaks volumes of what is going on in our county. No matter what your opinion is on the war in Iraq I think this video has good message. Just remember we have now been at war with Iraq for 5 years!

A little catching up to do!

So it has been since the end of February since our last post. Things have just been busy and if I don't have time to write on the weekends it just doesn't get done any other time. So Matt and I have been busy getting our cars fixed both of us had an accident happen with in a week of one another. My accident unfortunately was my fault in the parking garage that I park in for work. Matt's also took place in the parking garage that he parks in for work but he was not at fault. Someone backed into him as he was leaving the parking garage. Fortunately for us Matt's repairs were all payed for by the other driver, but for mine we paid a $500 deductible. Both cars are good as new know and we are both happy to be driving our cars again and not the yucky rental cars that smelled like smoke and car freshener.
This past week has been busy but also filled with potential costly repairs. On Saturday night we had a very windy storm come through. When we woke up the next day we noticed a roof shingle in our front yard, we both said I hope that's not from our roof. But as luck would have it we are pretty sure it was, because we noticed at the back of our house there are 3 shingles missing. So next week it looks like we will be making some calls to roofing companies for quotes. Also on Monday I was at work and I noticed that one of the baguette diamonds on my engagement ring was missing. I am a little sad but I am glad it not the main diamond, so last night we dropped it off for repairs. Well in a nutshell that is what we have been up to in the past couple of weeks.
