Dog people - how does the poo not disgust you?

Get scented bags and hold it by the handle after tying it then you’ll not feel or smell anything. I’ve 3 small dogs who I walk daily. Picking up their poo is part of being a responsible dog owner.

On a cold morning a warm bag of poo in the pocket is as good as any hand warmer. In particularly freezing weather I slip the warm bag under my hat and am cosy all the way around the park.

Another top tip is to put your coffee cup and croissant in the same pocket and they will stay toasty warm for ages.

Except some dirty fuckers change nappies in cafes on the tables. I don't want to see or smell baby shit when I am tucking into my chocolate cake. And I know poonamis are a thing.

Cat shit is the worst though. I had cats and I always struggled with cleaning their litter tray, and picking up projectile diarrhoea from my elderly mog. Always made me heave.

Do you have kids? I tell you the amount of bodily fluid you have to deal with children make coping with dog mess a breeze - and animals are great at doing it at the most inappropriate times; in the middle of a zebra crossing, on your best carpet, right in front of a cafe full of people…

I don’t care what they do but I detest dog owners who don’t pick it up.

When a thread is addressed to ‘dog people’ and you get responses from people who don’t like dogs at all just goes to show how much Mumsnet really love to get all frothed up over any chance to slag off dogs. 🤣

Actually picking up dog shit is nothing whatsoever like changing a nappy. Babies don’t shit on the ground and leave residue for people to pick up on their shoes. A child in a nappy you just lie down, undo the nappy, lift up the legs and fold the nappy over the poo. Place dirty nappy to one side and clean child. Plus it’s an actual human child. Not an animal. Dog shit smells far worse than baby shit. I couldn’t deal with any animal shit or vomit, have feeding bowls in my kitchen, or worse, litter trays, or have any animal sitting or lying on my furniture. Yuck.

I think they do look awfully cute pooing.There are other ways to warm my hands but I am very happy picking up my lovely dogs poos.
You sound like a miserable bastard.

Doesn’t bother me. If you walk away quickly enough you barely get a whiff.

happy to oblige.

This is my judgemental, aloof, intimidatingly-clever poodle, after her morning poo. Laying down on her favourite carpeted stair with her not-pooey bum hole because her anatomy works exactly as it should - leaving no residue.

Here she is looking condescendingly into the camera in despair about how little the allegedly smarter species understand canine anatomy.

Fair enough to prefer cats over dogs, but presumably you clean up your cat's poo? Is that not as disgusting?

My cat's litter tray is in our old brick outbuilding because I really don't want a litter tray in the house, because they are revolting and stink, but I don't want her crapping other people's garden's either. My dog also doesn't bring half-dead animals into the house and drop them on my lap, but that's another story (but I find that much more disgusting than cleaning up after my dog to be honest).

It's like having children the very young poo normally a messy job it still has to be done , as with a dog it's part of having a dog, as with children if you can handle the poo don't have a child same with dogs really

😂

I have my bingo card out ready.

Excretion is one of the seven characteristics of all living beings.

Either OP is a robot, or she is not very self-aware if she thinks her own shit doesn't stink.

I hate it! Especially when they do a soft poo in long grass 🤢. But you just have to deal with it.

Are we supposed to post photos on here like we do on the other anti-dog threads...? 🤔

Just waiting on furbaby crew lol

Indeed, so do I.

but just pointing out the inevitable wrath of frothing mouthed "DoGs ArE nOT cHiLDrEn" crew if you even dare suggest a comparison by pointing out that both dogs and children share similarities in that they are both living beings for which the accompanying adult is responsible for...

( I find that crew as equally tedious as you by the way)

I work in care so nothing fazes me 😆

Yup, my dogs poo, fine. Ditto, my dogs dribble, vom, etc.

Someone elses, a humans, a childs - nope, fuck no, ugh, I would rather die.

Sounds like dog owners are too

A lot of it is down to what the dog is fed on. If you feed good quality food then you get firmer poo which is easy to pick up. If you carry good strong poo bags it is not a problem.

I have giant breed dogs and about 90% - 95% of the time, they attend to their toilet needs at home. They prefer to go in private, they tell us wen they are done so we bag it straight away and bin it.

As people say about their kids, it can be a struggle to deal with poo (or vomit) from a child that is not your own but with your own it is not a problem. Same with dogs. I can bag up my own dogs poo but I would not like to clean up after somebody else's dog.

I love my babies. So I will clean their poo.

I love my dog, so I will clean her poo.

Other people’s kids and other people’s dogs - 🤮🤮
