LoL! I do the same, but only because it’s virtually impossible to find a dark turd in the dark. The next time I’m out during the day I pick up an extra one to atone. Maybe I shouldn’t admit that either.

Great post, as always.

lmao @ the dog poop after dark riddle.

Luckily I moved out of my parent’s house long before picking up shit was the “in thing” and no longer have a dog. We have land up the mountains and the dogs run free. You just learn to look for “bombs”. I have never had to pick up after dog business and am pretty sure I’d straight up vomit at the heat through the bag. I’m gagging now thinking about it. If I was to get a dog you’d better believe I’m leaving that shit too!

I don’t know when this changed. Maybe after a politician stepped in dog poo at some fund raising event to fix up the local run down park. That might have been a turning point.

Stupid politicians. Part of life is getting the dog poo off your shoes at least once! GEEZ!

I feel lucky. I have a cat. He poops where he should. In the litter box. He is a Maine Coon cat, very large and goes out on a leash. Just saying…. LOL. Have a poopless day.

We have land mines all over our back yard from our yellow lab. I just can’t bring myself to do the pooper scooper thing.

My dog was a shy pooper. He hated being seen or looked at when he pooped so he’d back into bushes to make his deposits. Problem solved: no need to scoop since he’d taken care of it himself by tucking it away hidden under the bushes for the pervs to roll onto when they hid to stalk the school girls. I loved my dog…

I would say that if it’s in a publically accessible spot that is frequently travelled you should always scoop.

Growing up we always took our dogs into wooded parks and let them run off leash in the woods and forest. If the area is dense with trees and forestry, well, I’m betting deer poop is just as big as dog poop and no one scoops up their stuff. Manure is fertilizer so why the heck not contribute to a healthy forest environment.

LOL, I’m going to finish my lunch before I comment on this one.

Totally do this!!!! If there is no one in my vicinity (take that long look around the complex, peering around trees to make sure that the poop police don’t come jumping out) I let her finish then we make haste away from the crime!

Does anyone else remember the days when no one cared about dog poo? We didn’t have signs, laws or poop-Nazi’s watching our dog’s every move. I’ll admit I was pretty young, so maybe my memory is fuzzy, but i’m sure there was a time when we all did what sane people would do: let the poop lie.

Chihuahua poops? Ok.

Great Dane Poops? I don’t want that in my lawn…

I pick up, but I usually make sure the dog has pooped before we go for a walk. The benefits of having a back yard….

Don’t worry, it’ll eventually disintegrate.

Plus, it is good for the soil… and stuff.

Do you know how many times I’ve picked after my dog in the dark of night and even after reaching here and there come up empty handed. We are so thrilled when our dog would go in the weeds or deep in the woods. “Good Girl!”

I try to time it out so Scrappy needs to go when we’re in some generally deserted area so I can ignore it. Otherwise, I always have a baggy in my pocket. (BTW if it’s raining, the pocket is right where the baggy stays.)

We would always take the dogs for a walk out bush, it didn’t matter what they did after that

I’m with you…I am definitely guilty of the once-you-walk-ten-feet-past-the-poop-no-one-can-be-sure-that-the-poop-came-from-my-dog laziness that usually happens more often at night.

I suspect this may change if you ever step in someone else’s dogs poop. Until then, it’s all good.

I take that duty seriously. For me, time or the presence of other people should never be a factor if I will leave my dog’s poop lying around.

hope to engineer a dog that can eat a flaming paper bag without digesting it so that when you want to play that old trick on some unsuspecting neighbours, the poop comes out already in the bag.
Michael D\\\’Agostino recently posted: If I Won the Lottery?

Who cares? It’s just poop. It’s the one thing no one wants to talk about or see. Humping in public and talking about it? Oh, that’s fine, but no one mention poop. What’s a little dog poop. Once, just once, my dog pooped at the park. I congratulated him and went on with my day.

SD – to answer your question, yes there were was time when you didn’t have to pick up after your dog because I remember it, lol.
Sheila recently posted: Late Night Musing

It is my duty these days to pick up my dogs doodie, but I’m the only damn one who does ::grumbles:: I don’t remember my parents or family members ever cleaning the poop up…. I will leave it under a bush, I mean who walks under there? No one!!

I am the only one in this household who has ever cleaned up after our dogs, so is it any wonder that I am fed up with dogs…………………….yes I love DC (our dog) but when he is gone we will not be getting another one……………..when I am out walking not that I do that much now days………..lol but the point I hate seeing dog shit on the sidewalk…………….

If you’re walking her in a wooded area, and it’s dark, I say let the poop lie.
