Richie from Indianapolis sent us this lovely DDP with a story about how camera shy his pooch is. Well Richie, on top of it being embarassing enough to drop a pooch-oop, having a camera out while doing the deed can't help things. Very lovely Schnauzer you have there Richie.
Keep those pics coming.
Even though it's in your back yard, pic up the pooch-oops promptly. You never know who might get into your yards run-off while watering.
Here's why the Poo Trap will never appear on every dog you see in the park; it's embarrassing. Our dogs are our babies. We would never think of covering up their naturals with a custom fitted, disposable poop collector, so we don't have to deal with their poo. That would be weird, right? A diaper for your dog?! Hmmmm......what did we do with the babies before diapers?
Another responsible owner encounter for today; had his poop bag ready for pick up when I approached him.
This beautiful Pit Bull had a head that looked like it could knock down a door! Lean, ripped and...............shiny. Not the pooch-oop, but the coat! This Pit had the shiniest coat that I have ever seen on a dog! It's a shame that Pits have a rough reputation. They really are good dogs. They just do whatever humans tell them to do......except drop a pooch-oop. They're still in charge of that.
What is it with dogs when they poop? Both front legs stiffen up straight, back arched, hips dropped, and a silent "hooo-raaaaaah" followed by a thump that is quiet enough so that only the pooches can hear. Some will try to take back that small piece of pride that was taken during their subdued stance of shame by kicking some grass or dust on top of the fresh pile as if it were an arguing coach kicking dirt on the shoes of an umpire. Others will turn around and take a bite out of it. I guess both ways can be an ancient, in your face, "I WIN" to the food chain that still has yet to be evolutionized with bagged food.
