Dog people - how does the poo not disgust you?

[Fragmentedbrain]

I live in a dog dense urban environment. Every day I see some fancily clad person walking along with their luxe takeaway coffee and their pooch only for said hound to hunker down, quivering with the bodily effort, to bestow a big steaming pile of pick me up now onto the pavement.

I mean I know the answer is that increasingly often it clearly does disgust them and that's why they leave it for other people to step in.

But seriously - do you feel less disgusted about poo in general? Do you think your own dog's poo is better (just as one's own child's nappies are less terrible than those of a random)? Or do you sit in dread of the next time it comes up?

It really is. Can't deal with the poo? Don't get a dog.

God, you’ve really thought about this to the point your posts bother me more than my dog’s poo.

I loved my kids when they were babies and gladly (well, maybe not gladly, but I wasn't gagging) changed their nappies, mopped up their sick, blew their noses.

I have loved my dogs. In a different way, but they also need me to care for them, as my children did. So I clear up their poo, mop up their sick - at least I don't have to blow their noses. It's part of the deal. I love current dog, she loves me.

Mind you, she'd probably eat me if I died, and I hope my kids would stop short of that.

Er ... It's so disgusting as to be illegal in the context of dogs?

What is a luxe coffee?

Is that a question or a statement?

Poo cannot be illegal.

Eh

It's not the poo that's illegal.
In the case of dogs it's the failure to pick it up that is illegal.
Whereas, if you take a shit in the street OP, you're liable to be prosecuted.

If you're referring to not bagging your dogs waste, it should be pointed out that it would also be illegal not to clean up your own poo if you were caught short in the street. It's nothing to do with dog poo being more "disgusting".

Sorry, cross posted.

My dogs are on raw as I can’t stand squishy poo. Nice solid little pebbles that don’t smell. Perfect.

Doesn't bother me, it's just part of dog ownership. I use a bag to contain it and bin appropriately.

In the same way scrubbing human shit off walls, floors and people was part of being a care worker. When you've had your pony tail, hands and even face grabbed by someone who has been smearing it everywhere, picking up a dog poo is pretty tame!

Look at the quote history, yeah.

Probably one not made at home. Shop bought.

I'd love to know where all these fancily clad dog walkers are. Where I live people dress for the dog walk, not the catwalk. You're more likely to see 10 year old Mountain Warehouse than Dior's New Look.

Beginning to think that OP doesn't poo, she just quietly emits a teeny tiny rose scented lozenge into a Fabergé tureen decorated with glittery unicorns every three days.

That's not luxe, you can buy that in Greggs.

What does this mean please?

I'm very old, I struggle to understand modern language, yeah.

Yes cats are much better, they just shit in your neighbour's garden. Most of my neighbours have cats and I don't, so they seem to all use my garden as the local feline public toilet for my kids to stand in. I've never had a dog shit in my garden.

Light blue touch paper, and retire 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Still about 20 times more expensive than making your own.

On thinking, and having left the corporate world to work with dogs, I would infinitely rather pick up dog poo than spend another minute listening to corporate bullshit, sales people promising stuff to customers that can't possibly be delivered, people repeating what the previous person said just so they can hear their own voice, employees bitching about being just as productive at home as they are in the office etc etc.

And, it keeps your hands warm in the winter. Back of your neck too, if you forget your scarf.

It's just hard poo; not as if it's running all over the shop. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'll even pick up someone else's dog poo, if it's close to mine. (Lazy fuckers who can't be bothered picking up).

Totallly agree. I take a flask out on my dog walks - saves a fortune.

Grabbing a quid coffee from Greggs is pretty standard day to day stuff for most people isn't it. Not exactly Luxe.

You’re getting a little weird now..

Agree picking up warm poo is preferable to a cold poo.

Agree with pp, dog size poo is part of my criteria when selecting a dog. I couldn't cope with picking up a poo larger than my fist.

I can cope with small, warm and squishy.

My DH is in charge of garden clean up and makes him heave, so doubt we'll get another dog, when the time comes.
