How do you clean up after pooch at the campground?

[Doc Tinker]

I use a ziplock bag. I turn it inside out and pick up the poop, with the bag fitted over my hand like a glove. Then I carefully turn it right side out and zip it up. I usually stick the bag in my pocket until I find a trash can. Once I did that, when I was wearing some tight jeans, and the bag popped in my pocket. Now I walk the dog with loose pants on.



It's neat to feel the soft warmth of the poop, through the bag, when you pick it up.



Now that I have the Lab, I've gone from using the quart size bags, to the gallon sized ones. It's hard to get in the pocket now too. Guess it's time to get a knapsack.

TMI! TMI! TMI! (Too much information!) Gee, I'm not sure I wanted to know all this!



Seriously, Doc, we use the same system, but since we're dealing with Shelties, we can use sandwich bags.

I camp in the woods. Dog goes and does his own thing, haven't found any in bad spots yet.

Use the same technique here Doc. EXCEPT I don't put the bag into my pocket! I either carry it until I see a garbage can or until I get back home.

Doc,



I gotta say that is really nasty !!! We use the same method but get a little queasy when picking up the poops. Especially when there is unrecognizable foreign material within the poop !



Definately not in the pocket !!

Excuse me for diverging but I gotta tell this one. My wife and I breed horses both live and artificially. One of our vet's and I were doing a mare artificially last week. For a little background on this, the vet first checks the ovaries for size and firmness prior to inserting the semen. They do this through the "rear end" feeling through the wall. Often as not, there is some "foreign material" to be pulled out. For whatever reason, the mare was a little loose, and when the vet probed in, the pressure was released and. . well, let's just say the vet (a woman) got decorated first thing in the morning, first call of the day, face, shirt, pants. Goes with the territory.

What is this? Are you guys so bored with the topics, we've resorted to this?!? Geez, is there any topic we won't discuss?



Is this a bunch of C#%P or what?!

Sweep it under the neighbors 5'er! Just Kidding We usually walk her somewhere around our site or near an area that nobody walks through. Never have had a problem. My wife disposes of the offering. I don't ask and she doesn't tell.





Alright already. Nuff of this I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER

Geez, I thought that was why brown paper bags and matches were made. Scoop the poop in the bag, set it on the neighbors doorstep, light it, ring bell and run like hades!

I just grab our 12 year old son, hand him a bag and say FETCH!!!

We use small kitchen garbage bags. Cheaper and bigger than ziplocks but never in the pocket!

Doc, you must be really bored!



I use these blue bags that you can get at Petco and elsewhere(like the dog park), just turn em inside out over your hand, pick em up, and turn back right side out, then tie shut. They even have a slight fragrance applied, which mixes with the fragrance of what you have picked up to produce something that doesn't smell like diesel.



I also have a lab, and I have found that what you feed the dog has a great effect on how much comes out the other end. My lab's 'deposits' are no more than my wife's rat terriers' (15 lbs. vs 85 lbs. ). If you are getting large deposits, you may want to investigate a better/different brand of food.



Just my $. 02.

 

[Doc Tinker]

Thanks for the suggestion, socal_rattler





The other day, I ran into a dilemma. We took the lab with us to the campground and he had the squirts, in the the campsite next to ours. Now... I really had to think hard about how to take care of that situation. I was afraid the baggie trick wouldn't do it, so I ended up getting a big wooden spoon from the camper and scooped it up with that. Later, when he got ready to squirt again, I was quick enough the get the bag under him, so it could catch it.

Doc, maybe you could make yourself available in the Execs bathroom.

This looks like a crappy thread to me.

Forget the bag! Just stomp on it until you can't recognize it anymore.

Never mind the dogs, how about humans? When my son was working at McDonald's, and it was his turn to clean the bathroom, he discovered somebody had left a good-sized, heavily-textured log on the floor, and no way to pick it up except with those thin plastic gloves, all they had available... .

We got people in this country worse than dogs...
