There’s no getting around it. If you have dogs, you’re going to pick up some poop. Some people are grossed out by the thought. I have a lot of thoughts on dog poop. First of all nothing is worse than cold dog poop, I’ll take warm poop over cold poop any day of the week, especially on a cold winter day. If you’re disgusted by this, read no more… but when you live with and love dogs your world revolves around poop.
Have they pooped?
When did they poop last?
His poop was a little soft, I wonder if he got into the trash again?
Should I change his dog food?
One of my dogs needs high protein dog food to have normal poops. The other dog needs high fiber to have normal poops. Someone ate part of my shoe the other day and it was easy to find the culprit when poop time came around. One time I had a dog eat most of the candy out of an Easter basket, including lots of pretty foil wrapped chocolate eggs, she didn’t die but she was extremely sick and her poop looked like a Mardi Gras parade float.
I did the math and I have picked up approximately 25,000 dog poops in my adult life. Probably more. I buy the recyclable poop bags now but I use to use freezer bags, which were my favorite and easy to swipe a weeks worth on my weekly trip to the grocery store.
I’m not perfect, sometimes I forget my bags, or don’t have enough on me, or drop them when I’m walking and don’t notice and have to use a leaf or a stick to get the poop into a bush or some ivy where it won’t get stuck to the bottom of someone’s shoe. I hate people who don’t pick up after their dogs. It’s totally disgusting and irresponsible to leave your dog’s poop in the grass or even worse on the sidewalk. For the LOVE OF GOD, PICK UP YOUR DOG POOP PEOPLE! Sometimes, even though it makes me gag, I will pick up someone else’s dog poop. For obvious reasons, someone else’s cold dog poop is the worst thing in the world to pick up, but I do it because I care about my neighborhood and don’t want them thinking that everyone with a dog is an a-hole.
So it’s not shocking that the people at www.monthlydoos.com have created an entire 2009 calendar of dog poop. It’s a really creative and imaginative calendar and good for a chuckle not to mention a wall or a great gift for someone like me! Enjoy!
I agree….the cold dog poop of other people’s dogs grosses me out!!
I have recently stepped in dog poop twice in a week. It messes up my shoes and I can’t wear them anymore. I think dog poop smells worse than human poop (non-homeless people poop).
I get the whole cold dog poop thing. But, I have to disagree – NOTHING is worse than a hot steaming pile of feces. Even a hot steaming pile of vomit.
I find warm dog poop comforting to pick up on cold days, warms up the fingers. If only it weren’t so stinky.
so funny! Poo is just that- as a colon cancer person I find it esp. dear and totally important!
Warm dog poop is way grosser than cold dog poop. Alaskan Malamutes notoriously poop soft. Hugely soft. You can’t pick it up with one hand. It requires two. But it would always leave streaks behind on the grass. The solution? I would always walk my brother’s malamute with a newspaper. The minute Tasha squatted, I would stick it under her to pick up.
I was on to something. If you never want to have to stick your hand in poop through a bag, slide the newspaper under as they squat. Then, you just fold up the paper inside the baggie. Nice and clean. No crap on the grass, no fingers in hot or cold poop. It wall works out. =)
I love the idea of poop-art. It was foul and visually interesting at the same time.
Peace.
Dog poop left on lawns is the weekly discussion in our neighborhood. I’d love to see a personality profile of the type of person who leaves their dog’s poop on someone else’s lawn. There is no excuse. The calendar is genious. I’ll forward it to my dog-loving friends. Thanks!
Gross, but funny. lol.
What a crack-up! Now I know why our neighborhood is generally poop-free- because CJ is around!! I’ll never look at my dog’s or any other dog’s poop the same again after this blog……LOL
Revolutionizing the world, one poop at a time.
