Dog Poo and Backyard Cleanups

[Doc Tinker]

I'm in a rush, between vacations here ya know. I'm leaving out again tomorrow morning for the north.



This is why I thought we needed a poll:



I noticed a bad smell in the backyard, while I was eating dinner, out on the deck, and I thought it would be nice to see how you guys handle this problem.



You guys have probably figured out that I'm the #5 type. Anybody want to come over for a picnic?

Doc, Welcome back we were just talking about you and how boring it was getting around here with you gone! Keep up the polls.

[QRTRHRS]

Is it my imagination or has Doc's posting gone to the dogs?

Once a quarter or so, I pull out the ole BCS rototiller and return it to the earth. It's amazing what different types of Plants will grow in this S**t. Feed me seymore. Dog likes it too, since she doesn't have to tippy toe around to find the perfect place.

Need another option!

What about those few of us who keep numerous animals in a kennel w/concrete flooring. Also with a catchall on the backside in which to wash the poop down the drain into a 55 gallon barrel or two made into a miniature septic tank. No mess, little smell, no bother, just hose her down. As you guys would say, I took a good idea (Doggy Dooley) and BOMBED the heck out of it to cover 15 dogs instead of just one.

Mean to say that I'm the only one who has taught my dog to use the toilet and flush it? Still trying to get him to go easy on the paper though.

Doc's Back

Dog crap Good to see you back, Doc Keep them Outer Limits type polls a-coming. hehehehe Oops. I'm off subject. I have a Pekingese. Doesn't lay much pipe so it's not really worth the effort to scoop it up. Worms and ants have to eat too. Now the German Shephard I use to have. WOoooooooOOeeeeee! Stand back and call for the front end loader. Them were some mean land mines, I'm hear to tell ya!

Depends on the dog.

There are tootsie roll dogs, lincoln log dogs, galleo salami dogs, and presto log dogs.

Of course, there are the dreaded cookie dough dogs and the oatmeal dogs.

See... ... ... ... . it depends.



Welcome back, Doc

Papa Joe... you, like Doc, are able to conjure up some terrible images!

My dogs are feed a raw diet so their Sh*% is not very large despite their size, and it turns white within a week, and is dust in a few more weeks... . Best thing aside from not having large cow size droppings anymore is they don't have the strong Sh*% smell either. Makes me almost regret I trained them to Sh*% in the neighbors yard... ...

Doc,

Knowing you, I'm not sure you're just trying to blame something you did, on your poor dog.

 

[jwgary]

Three words... yard-a-pult!

 

[jwdeeming]

My dog is a big ol' Great Pyrenees. She patrols my 20 acres plus about 40 more on either side of me. I honestly don't know where she does it. All I ever find is stuff from the cows and horses.



Maybe not too neighborly of me, but it's darn handy!

Living on a mountain, the dogs pretty much run around and pooh where they want. We'd have to search 5 acres of cactus and granite to scoop! When we had the Great Dane, that was a different matter!

The youngest of my 3 Labs cleans up my other dogs poop. He EATS IT!!!!. We've been told to sprinkle Accent on their food,give them Fig Newtons, and a few other things to make their poop taste bad so the youngest dog doesnt eat it. Wouldn't you think poop tastes bad no matter what you feed them. Just the other day i was bending over in a chair tying my shoes. The youngest Lab comes up to me and burps in my face. Talk about sh*t breath!! Needless to say he gets his teeth brushed a few times a day.
