I miss my dog now :/

but Abbott kinda sums up what I thought, didn't really think about it much unless there was a clump stuck and there was a chance they'd soil the carpet...and even then that was really easy to clean up even if it happened!

cleaning dog puke was far, far worse :(

cat pee = worst imo.

i don't have much experience with dog pee, maybe it's really bad too.

wasn't too horrible. in his later years he tended to leave all kinds of presents on the carpet cuz he was so sick. the pet products really do as well as advertised as getting them up....as long as you nab em right away.

OP: No. Weekly baths and washable upholstery (ie, futons) helps.

I have begun drawing the line at Teufel licking my face when he has shit on his breath.

why haven't diapers for pets taken off more than antidepressants for pets? i'm sure more pets poop than have S.A.D.

idk, my dog clearly had separation anxiety issues!

Quadrupeds have more sphincter power, they don't need to wipe. READ ONE BOOK!

maybe if the diapers were branded as poopiecrapping re-uptake inhibitors...

sphincter power

Except when they're not "regular"; that's when they're wonderful trick of "scooting" comes into play...

*their wonderful trick... I think I'm a bit to excited to impart this knowledge...

#1 Inspector Spacetime Fanboy (Viceroy), Sunday, 26 February 2012 17:40 (1 year ago) Permalink

Note: perfectly regular obese female dogs will scoot as the easiest way to scratch an itchy ass. Its not all about gland discharges.

Pauper Management Improved (Sanpaku), Sunday, 26 February 2012 17:45 (1 year ago) Permalink

how do you determine it's one and not the other?

Philip Nunez, Sunday, 26 February 2012 17:47 (1 year ago) Permalink

Oh yeah that too... Its actually nicer IMO than seeing a fit dog nibble at its ass for 20 minutes.

If you live in the city and don't own a home w/ a big backyard/dog run, you know what's going on with your dogs bowels...

i was just imagining a dog interrogation by ice-t & belzer.

agreed, he looks like a dog from a N64 zelda game

Anime dogs definitely help overcoming a revulsion to fecal bacteria.

Pauper Management Improved (Sanpaku), Sunday, 26 February 2012 18:22 (1 year ago) Permalink

It helps that I don't think the N64 can render anything as small as a microorganism.

both our cats wipe - they use special toilet paper we had made, it has a facsimile of the Constitution on every square

the Catstitution

I used to be way more freaked out about dog asses but after getting a dog I sort of stopped caring. Grabbing hot poop a couple times a day through a flimsy bag sort of became natural, and having to sometimes grab a half-pooped turd and pull it the rest of the way out (with bag on my hand of course) while the dog looks up at you with a look of confusion and sadness, incapable of understanding why their ass isn't working correctly, is no longer that weird either.

i just figured out today my cat has impacted anal glands. i thought they were dingleberries. how do i fix it without her killing me?

kim tim jim investor (harbl), Sunday, 26 February 2012 19:39 (1 year ago) Permalink

I'd take her to the vet this time around because she might have an infection and it's good to have it looked at. Plus the vet can show you what to do.

carl agatha, Sunday, 26 February 2012 19:52 (1 year ago) Permalink

To answer the original question, it's pretty gross so I try not to think about the fact that my cats' buttholes have been pressed against nearly every flat surface in our home, including my pillow.

carl agatha, Sunday, 26 February 2012 19:53 (1 year ago) Permalink

nate woolls, Sunday, 26 February 2012 19:54 (1 year ago) Permalink

Yeah. My dog literally sleeps on my pillow next to my head about 50% of the time so if I really started thinking about this I might have to give him back.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Sunday, 26 February 2012 19:55 (1 year ago) Permalink

not really but, you know

wolf kabob (ENBB), Sunday, 26 February 2012 19:55 (1 year ago) Permalink

Whenever one of my dogs has poop/hair problems, it's referred to as "small town butt trouble".
For example, "Rudy got into some small town butt trouble when she was outside but she's ok now."
I also try not to think about it; I don't have worms (yet) so I figure all is well.

pet poop

flagp∞st (dayo), Monday, 27 February 2012 16:13 (1 year ago) Permalink

i only feed my dog the finest organic kibble and thus he poops neat little tootsie rolls, no need to wipe

the turtle is much worse, i get projectile shitted-on every time we do shell maintenance

the late great, Monday, 27 February 2012 17:47 (1 year ago) Permalink

snake too, one time he wrapped himself around my wrist and used his strength to whip himself around while shitting, thus slingshot-launching his poop into my face.

the late great, Monday, 27 February 2012 17:48 (1 year ago) Permalink

I had no idea that turtles were such messy shitters.

sticking w short-haired cats, tyvm

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Monday, 27 February 2012 19:59 (1 year ago) Permalink

^^^ although if we ended up with a long haired cat through some twist of fate, I wouldn't like throw it out on the street or anything. But insomuch as we get to select pets, short haired cats FTW.

sticking can be an issue w long haired cats

We are planning on shaving Lizzie's hind legs and most of her bottom due to what gets caught there. I think she'll be happier too, just hope shaving her goes well.
