I hope no one else does this........
I spent all yesterday morning dodging dog muck :( :(
We were called in to tidy a large garden and the lady has 2 westies(one which nipped my ancle the last time we were there, luckily it was shut up this time)
Now she knew we were coming at some point as she had rang to remind us about 4 days before we arrived.
Moving the dog muck  from the grass around the edge of the borders so I could walk on the grass and put the trimmings behind me took ages, and I must have moved about 30 piles :( Now that wasnt even tpouching the stuff from about 3' away from the border to the centre I left all of that. And I still managed to miss some and stand in it :(
WHY?????
Ok I might not clear my dogs mess up every single day, but I certainly do it every other
A rather peed off Lea :)

poor you, i would have asked her to pick it up first- surely it wasnt your job? I do mine evry couple of days- most of it luckily gets done on their walks but she sound as if she never takes them out to poo? :rolleyes:

She had gone out to a trade fair for the day :(
It cost her more as we charge by the hour and not by the job!!!!! So it cost her for me to pick it up and deposit it in piles in various places on the grass :rolleyes: So she still needs to pick it all up!!!
She was one of these people that seem to think she is better than everyone else :(
Lea :)

Considering all this muck was from two westies it points out that this woman has not been clearing up after her dogs often enough. I'm out in our garden once a day, sometimes twice (oh the joys of owning bloodhounds) but for this puch poo to be left in the garden is a health risk.

Just think what nasties it attracts, even in this weather. All I can say is "those poor dogs"!

> Now she knew we were coming at some point as she had rang to remind us about 4 days before we arrived.

Now you know why she reminded you - she was probably saving it for you so she didn't have to do it. You should send her an extra bill for poop disposal. :D

I cleared up after my dog day before yesterday and last night she managed to walk in some and bring it in the house :rolleyes:  Surely the Westies must be walking in it if there is so much of it?

Yuk! I clean up after my dogs but wouldn't like to clean up after anyone else's.  In our house it's known as 'poo patrol' and I do it every other day.  We have quite a large garden so to leave it for a day isn't really a problem.  The only thing is our house backs on to woodland and we get lots of magpies who love to peck it and sling it round:rolleyes:

>Yuk! I clean up after my dogs but wouldn't like to clean up after anyone else's.

Funny you should say that because after watching my son play football on Sunday I let the dog off lead and she tore off to far corner and squatted.  I ambled over and couldn't find it at first.  I saw someone elses and thought picking that up would be just as good but I could bring myself to do it because it wasn't my dog's :D Isn't it strange?  I found my dog's poo after a few more seconds. Phew :D

at this time of year I find it fairly easy to find my dogs poo becuase its still got steam coming off it but I know what you mean about not wanting to pick up another dogs poo.  Cold poo gives me the heave but I have no probs picking it up warm regardless of consistency - what a delightful topic!

Snap,
I can go outside, pick it up with only a carrier on my hand, even get it on my fingers when you dont clock the hole in the bag :rolleyes: my own dogs poo, no problem at all.
But anyone elses it makes me feel so ill :( And I would deffinatly be sick if I got it on my hands!!
Hence used a shovel so I was as far away from it as possible!!!!
Lea :)

No chance of poo being left for long in our garden as Shay will simply not allow it :rolleyes: He stopped pooing in the garden a few weeks after we got him and only seems to pee in it if he really has to  (like before bed). I don't know if he is so clean because he is half Chow (I've read that they are exceptionally clean) or whether it is because he was forced to live surrounded by his own poo in his previous home as he was out in the yard 24/7 and poo was rarely picked up If a puppy poo isn't noticed and cleared up straight away, he soon makes us aware of its presence and will not budge until it has been binned. Pity his fussyness doesn't extend to other habits....at this precise moment he is munching on a chicken wing that the pup buried in a planter ages ago Mmmm, bet that has matured nicely :rolleyes:

I try to pick up every day, but sometimes I miss a day. I would most certainly pick up the morning that someone was coming to work in the garden, then at most there would be one or two fresh poos. That's disgusting! :-(

I swear we've got camels instead of dogs the amount my 2 leave but at least it's easy to shovel up, mostly i do it every day as well. 
Mind you our next door neighbours are going to have a shock.  They have new neighbours next door to them and yesterday i caught the new neighbour throwing their dog poo into my neighbours garden!!  I made a point of shouting hello so they knew i'd seen them.  How cheeky can you get!!

Bit silly really unless the neighbours have dogs too, they'll know where it came from!! We are lucky to have wasteland and a railway line at the bottom of our garden, so we can throw the poo there! :-)

Bit silly really unless the neighbours have dogs too, they'll know where it came from!!
If someone threw dog muck into my garden I would know it wasnt my dogs!!!!
Maybe i am sad but i know the consistency, colour , shape, and configuration of both my dogs mess unless they have eaten something the shouldnt have....Yes I am SAD!!!
Lea :)

Much the same as your own child's stinking full nappy, no prob.
another child's, no chance... Heave!!
We too call it poo patrol.
Everyday, if not at the most, every other day. You have to cos the dog hairing around the garden will undoubtly bring it in, or send it flying at the windows!
