My next dumb dog question....

[SoupDragon]

Why is Dill taking cat poo out of the litter tray to eat???

The tray is covered and tucked under the stairs in a corner.

My labrador does the same. Yuck isn't it. Have to race to get to the tray before the dog!

Cos it's yum

Dogs evolved as natural scavengers. If they found a dead thing, they ate it. If that dead thing had poo in its innards, all the better

Yes, they are natural scavengers, so why doesn't he go and scavenge his bowl of breakfast which is sitting untouched in the kitchen?! Gah!

now, I am delighted he took the dead mouse (gift from one of the cats) outside to eat.

Is he licking his lips yet when the cat starts scrabbling in the tray? Mine do...

Oh don't... :o

actually, at this moment, i think he's supervising DD on the toilet where she's having her morning poo! which is far, far worse than ogling the utter tray :o

Oh they love cat poo, Rupert runs over to my neighbours hedges to forage for cat shit. Despite being terrified of their cat!

Aw, Soupie - have I not told you how, in developing countries where wipes are not available, newborn babies are given a puppy?

You do the math, sweetie

Dear god, Dill is a bit of a chewer... Doesn't bear thinking about!

(although he'd probably do a better job than DD does. I'd rather not have to explain that one to school and social services though.)

now, it's Doggy Bathtime. wish me luck...

Good luck, hon

I peperami and one cheese string there's a wet, manic cocker spaniel bounding tearing through the hall, landing and kitchen.

I think i got off lightly!

One peperami and one cheese string later...

Now my house smells of wet dog rather than rancid dog. until he noses through the otter tray again and smells of cat poo instead. He was having none of my attempts to blow dry him!

It's natural for dogs to do this - it's a thing they have built in which is meant to keep their living space clean (yuk yukyuk!!!)

This is why they also seek out mucky nappies, eat their own sick etc etc.....

If he wants a clean living space, I'd rather he did the hoovereing and dusting TBH :o
