Doggie doo doo duty?

You must get desensitized after a while, to me picking up poop when I walk the guys is as normal as breathing. My guys are big, so we usually bring a bag for each and then one or 2 extra bags in case one of them is an over achiever that walk. I have found that my guys will wait to walk to poop.

Well, that was certainly a great story to top my afternoon. Just as I began thinking about what to make for dinner. Guess I will have to put that off for a while. lol. Just think if someone invented a doggie toilet, they would makes millions. Cats have a litter box, so there must be something that someone can dream up for a dog...lol.

Well G.B. I live in a townhome, so I have to perform this task at least 5 times a week. The worst is when my yellow lab Xena poops in the winter and I can see the steam rising from the mound on the snow! At least it's easy to locate. But the smell is worse in the cold weather, P.U. I would rather pick up dog poop than clean a cat box any day. I have two cats from my apartment years and ichhhhh. I hate cleaning that d#@!ed box.

I really appreciate that you DID do the right thing and clean up after your pet. We have a large yard and I have to do the duty several times a week and before I mow the lawn. I wouldn't mind cleaning up after the dog, IF I had one. Someone must know our habits and either in the wee hours of the morning or late at night while we are sleeping, enjoy using our yard as dumping ground. I find it very disrespectful to do that to someone else's property. I am glad to hear someone does the responsible thing and takes responsibility for their pet!

I wonder if there is a rate my doggy poop site? Anyway, I think you need a pooper scooper.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!! Too funny! And your description is NOT over-the-top animated or exagerated! I never had to worry about poo poo patrol until I moved to an apartment complex with my Pekingese Snickers. It was community law to patrol da poo poo and clean up doggy doodie with whatever means necessary. I thought, "what a pain in the you know what" but I went with it. LORD HAVE MERCY! It was just as you described it! The HEAT! THE SMELL! YACK!!!! Oh, and then! lol Since I would be gone at work with no one to take him out, I had puppy pads put out in the kitchen area for him to piddle and poo on but he disregarded the "assigned area" but being that I put a HUGE pet deposit down on this place and my carpet was dang near white, I had to come up with a solution. It was rough times for our relationship but I had to invest in a doggy diaper. LOL It didn't work out all that well. I would get home from work to find his crawling with his front paws, and his little body half-wiggled out of his diaper. Even when it was all the way on, he'd stumble around like he was intoxicated and fall over. BUT all is good now. We live in a house with a doggy door and he and his other new brother and sister have their own little fenced in area to do the doo. (funniest topic I've stumbled upon! great!)

Good doggie citizenship like that is one of the things that makes walking dogs unpleasant. You get a citizenship award. I admit that this is something I find very gross myself.

Okay dad im sorry but eww we all didnt need to know the details. I mean the stories of your garden okay but how warm buster poops is taking it a bit to far. I never thought id see this topic. You want a good one try cleaning my german shepard mixes poop after he ate 3 chocolate muffins now that smelled bad.

That is funny! Our dog uses it outside in the yard too and we never take bags when we take her for a walk. She actually only pees when we take her for a walk, I guess we time it just right too.

I realy laughed a this, it was so funny! I guess I shouldn't, as it was obviously not a pleasant experience for you. Can't you use a kind of shovel to pick up the poo? A pooper scooper? Then plop it in the bag? Then your hands don't have to make such close contact. Yuk!

HUM that reminds me one reason I dont have a doggy, doing doo doo duty is not my cup of tea lol. Really tho I know people who as a job do the doggy walk thing for other people and they have like 6 dogs they are walking at one time lol.

At least you did not give us a photo of that. LOL. I think changing the cat box is worst than doggie duty. Cat duty is so smelly and yet I continue to have two cats and one cat box. I am thinking on putting the cat box outside so they get the hint it is ok to use our back yard.

YES I LOATHE cleaning up dog poop and fresh is even worse. I have been in that situation with baggie on hand and feeling the texture thru the bag, and the smell and the heat made me start dry heaving! I couldn't hang with it, and I can't even imagine how it is for someone that has a huge dog like a great dane?! GAG!!!

whew...thanks for sharing grandpa Bob! I'm so happy I've already had my dinner! lolol...I used to have a dog and always took him to a dog park where I let him off his leash to go into the "poop" yard to do his thing. He really never did have an accident on the way to or back from that park and I thanked him a million times a day for that!

Its actually one of the reasons why I don't have any dogs Grandpa Bob because I just can't bear cleaning after them. I could even feel myself start to get nauseous thinking about it. I can't stand seeing spit, pooh and vomit! I also can't stand the smell of pets for a long time because I would start to sneeze. So I really avoid them like a plague.

LOL, grandpa. I don't envy you for having your beagle. Gee...I don't think I'll ever sit down and have a nice meal without remembering this thread. Its a good thing my bunny knows where to go to do his business stuff. Remind me never ever dream of having a dog again, LOL. Happy posting, grandpa.

I am sorry you had to do that Grandpa...I myself have never had to as when I had a dog I lived on a farm and did not have to walk him let alone worry about poop on someone else's property! :) I'm actually glad now...You description is enough for me as I still change my four year old son's diapers due to his Autism!! Good luck to you my friend and better timing next time! :)

I very seldom have to pick up landmines anywhere but my own yard but when I do have to, it really doesn't bother me that much. Yes it feels yucky but that what the baggies are for, to keep your hands out of it. Then just turn it other way and seal the smell in and find the nearest garbage can. lol I use a special rake/shovel for the landmines in my yard and just dump it into a bucket. Bucket full, I take it deep into the woods and dump it upside down and pound on the bottom a few times to get it all out then hose it out. I would love to get one of those doggie dooley systems that act like a mini septic for dog waste.

I'm sorry, Bob, but I just have to laugh. Not because of what happened, but because something VERY SIMILAR happened to me! I had just put new grass clippings in the garden and started spreading it around the veggies for a mulch. I had to go inside for a second, and came back to finish my job. Right as I grabbed the fresh clippings, I found somethng else FRESH in the grass. A cat (probably mine) did her business and very neatly disguised it so I wouldn't see it. ARGH! Thank goodness I was at home, so I could run in and clean it up. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever stuck my hands into!

Hi there. I remember the first time i picked it up i felt the same way you did but i was glad i did,i remember a saying i heard it was if a kid falls in it the kid could go blind dont no if it true?
