Sorry for the thread subject but just couldn't think of a better way to put it!! :)

Just been on a walk with two of my dogs, took the usual 3 poo bags in me pocket but no this was not enough!!

Both had too many poos on the one walk!! :)
I felt so embarrassed, tried my hardest to 'pick up' after my dogs with the already used bag, but it was hopeless!
I feel ashamed as I had to leave one of the 'toilets' behind, and was 1 1/2 miles from home at the time. sorry guys I have let the ' dog owners' down xx

These things are sent to try us!!  I've once had to go back in the car to pick up after not taking enough bags with me!
Lesson learnt:  Always take 3 bags per dog (If you need more than that you've got problems lol!).

I have this plastic dispenser shaped like a dog bone that has a reel of plastic poo bags in it.  I have it attached to one of the dogs leads so I am always "with poo bag".  The only thing you have to look out for is when the reel is running out but you soon get used to that.  In the past before using these, I have run out and picked up poos with pieces of litter but at least we are trying to pick them up unlike the unsociable lot that seem oblivious to their dog doing a poo!

My girl is very good and will clear out in one go but my boy regularly does at least 3 on a walk!

Your boy isn't a Boxer by any chance is he?  I've known 2 male Boxers in the past and neither of them have done everything in one go!!!  No offence to Boxers by the way!!

Both my dog and bitch "mark" with poo, when they have run out of wee. This means that they will do lots of little poos on a walk. I take a minimum of ten bags with me on every walk to be on the safe side!

I'm so glad mine don't do that!  Imagine 5 of them marking like that, I go through enough poo bags as it is!

No he's a mini schnauzer - he treats me to lots of little pieces just to keep me on my toes!  Just as well he's gorgeous!

>Both my dog and bitch "mark" with poo

That's so weird!  My old Afghan X used to do the same    His favourite thing was if he could find a nice gate post of the right height and put it on there   He also loved tree stumps for the same reason :-D :-D  very embarassing and meant that I carried poo bags before the rest of the world cottoned on :-D (in this area anyway ;) )

I'm grinning at just how much dog owners discuss poo!  My vet once told me that only dog owners could sound excited when talking about a puppy poo!!!

Oh the tree stump thing!  Yes my boy does that too.  Or on a whole tree where he'll virtually do a handstand to get his poo higher up!

Dill - love your Avatar.  We have a Bedlington near us called Bill - my boy LOVES playing with him.  Their graceful and fragile looks belie their spirited nature!

>Or on a whole tree where he'll virtually do a handstand to get his poo higher up!

So glad to hear our old boy wasn't too weird then - he did this too! :-D  I'd never heard of a dog doing this before or since :-D

You're right about the Bedlington :)  they look so 'nancy' when they're all done ready for a show, but they're still the tykes that will race around madly and rough and tumble just for the fun of it LOL

One of my lurchers poos for not just england but scotland, ireland and wales as well.

I now take a roll with me.  i've never know a dog do so much and he's only a whippet/saluki cross so he's not a big boy.

And he looks so pleased and smug when he's done one.

Our's loves doing them on flowers, poor old daffodils have taken a real bashing since he has come along.

The most my dog did on one walk was 5 Dont know where it all came from....he's only little. After that incident he got renamed by my Dad "the s**t machine" :-)

Well I have to say I'm enjoying this thread - well maybe enjoying is the wrong word, but I'm findinf it interesting and amusing to hear your dogs' "poo stories"!

My Cavalier seems to only do about 2 poos a day - one on each walk. I'm not complaining though! It's funny that people have dogs that mark with poo, as my friend has a black Lab who does this. Well he starts by cocking his leg to wee and then poos at the same time, it looks very bizarre. I also used to walk a Mini Schnauzer who cocked his leg to poo - I could never tell what he was doing and was mortified once when I realised he'd done a big poo outside someone's gate post (I cleaned it up of course!)

One of the Samoyed girls I look after does quite a lot of poos on walks - she also has the annoying habit of walking in a circle as she's doing it, so I have a little trail to pick up!! Why do dogs have these funny habits ??

Yesterday I walked my dog he waited to pooh a huge squishy one on the police house lawn. I picked up a lot, used my paper hankie!! as well and walked off leaving a wet mess!!!!!! I felt bad and my office is just in front of the police station. He waited until we were nearly back to the office to go.

My cocker once got so good he dropped a pooh off a bridge into the water below!! He often gets so far under a bush it would be a hand and knees job to clean up after him.

What made me laugh once, chap had two dogs with him, was holding a 'full' nappy sack, bent over picking up another poo, both dogs sitting on loose leads. As I drove along one sitting dog stood up behind him, then did a poo as he stood up and tied up the 2nd nappy sack.....I wish I could have seen his face when he noticed what his dog had done :)

That is my Jozi, ans she acts like the poo wil bite her if she doesn't jump away from it quick, often before it has truly exited 8-(.

She will also wait and wait to go until you walk out the door and then she is breakignehr neck to fidn just the spot to go.  Her grandmother was the same.

Oh dear I have started a good one here haven't I!!! :) :)

You can tell a true doggie person, if they can have a conversation about doggie poo and also say 'Bitch' without being embarrassed !!!!

I used to walk a Westie when i was a wee girl, he used to get told off as a puppy for 'pooing' indoors by his owner, so he learnt while out on walks to find a lamp post reverse up to it, climb the lamp post with his hind legs with his front legs still on the ground, as though he is doing a hand stand and then proceed to POO!!  as you can imagine, the 'deposit' would rest on his bottom until he walked away from the lamp post!!!! :) :) :)

my cav walks round and round in a circle before she has a poo? strange but true!!

Zorro doesnt like rain....one day he wanted to go in the garden, but it was raining hard and although I opened the door for him, he wouldnt go out. I left the door open for him to change his mind. Next thing I know is I am looking out of my living room window where I can see the kitchen door, and I see Zorro stick his bum out the door and poo over the doorstep whilst managing to keep all 4 feet and the rest of his body inside the house!

LOL Some of these are just soooo funny :) :)

My Louis will squat, then walk along pooing a trail and nearly always has to inspect his deposit!!! He will also climb onto things, like a brick or will try and do it on the planter edge :(
He has even looked out at the rain, decided 'no way' and wee'd where he was standing....did he think that cos he could see outside that he was outside?
My daughters akita will often cock her leg to get closer to her chosen target and wee and poo at the same time :)

oh these made me smile!! :)

my oldest male likes to poo on daffs/long grass/steep banks - just seems to like gettin his bum high up lol

my youngest boy does the shuffle-in-a-circle so I know when I do the poo-patrol in the garden to look for main deposit followed by a scattering of lesser ones....

my neighbours once asked if we were picking mushrooms, as we go out with latex goves and a carrier bag and can be seen rumaging about on the grass.....they were quite embarassed when told what we were actually doing - pmsl

One of my Mum's cats was once stuck in a room and couldn't make anyone understand she wanted her litter tray (she was a baby and I recall we were quite young too) and she ended up jumping onto the Aspidestra in the hearth and with quiet dignity perching on the edge to pee - her lasting nick-name after that was Yasamina-piddle-pot
