DS 4 has long skinny coils of poo - normal?

[bumbling]

Not sure they were always like that but have been for some time now. I guess a year or so. So I'm only wondering now because yesterday a play mate did a poo at our house and his was a small brown banana type thing and not a long stream of skinner poo!

My DS has always pooed a lot and has no permanent pooing issues, just intrigued as to why his is so different to his friends.

Do this apply to pet's poo as well? My dog seems a bit constipated according to the scale, but really, do I really want to be picking up italian sausages? (yuk!!)

Watchit Mongolia. Nothing wrong with Italian sausage. Of any kind.

I was hoping somebody would wheel something like that.

SOH - I think you'll find type 4 is better suited to battle. If my DS is anything to go by, you need to spend very little time doing the biz and there barely any need to wipe so no hanging and battle ready much quicker than a type 3 who maybe edgy but a bit slow off the mark.

Enormously efficient, type 4s.

Here here Niecie. If she gets mean shall we start a rival poo army?

Also, SOH, you need to think beyond the battle and towards the time when, war over, civilisation needs rebuilding. I would suggest a type 4 poo, or even a type 5, would be easier to use when mixing with straw etc to make basic wattle and daub houses.

Plus, if backs are really against the wall, and ammunition runs out, a platoon of Type 1 Pooers could provide you with a great supply of ready-made pellets for use with slings.

Let's hear it for the rival poo mercenaries.

I note there is not one for lumpy soup poos are produced by DS

Surely a Type 4 Whomovedmy?

Whomoved - sounds like you've got a 6 on your hands there.

Still, I suppose we've all be there - I have had every shade from 1 to 7 on my hands in the last 10 yrs.

Excellent point about wattle and daub. I would have thought no. 4 was ideal. No lumps to mash out. Sticky yet pliable consistency. I know that it is waterproof having seen the way it holds back water when one of the coils blocks the loo.

I am now pondering renting out DS2 to new age types who only want eco-friendly renewable and recycable materials for that modern home build. Could end up on Grand Designs.

Good God woman, you are brilliant! Why, with all my dreams of money making did I not come up with that one? There are 6 in my family, 8 if you count the cats (although their efforts do tend to be more of a type 2/3 )

Get new cats.

Can't have any hangers-on. Business is business.

Or change their diet maybe? Sorry cats, meat is off the menu, only veggies from now on....

No I suspect it's between a 5 and a 6.

Very definitely mostly liquid, but with lumps. Like bad gravy

Quick update - DS now checks his own poos to see if they're healthy and match the Bristol Stool chart thingy whatsit. DP also suitably grateful and bemused as to why he'd not found it online before!

DS calls his type 4's "healthy" when he spots them and calls them "long but broken". Result all round methinks. Reckon he'll do the competitive parenting thing for me now and check his mates poos and tell them all about the chart ... hmmm.
