they do, the boys don't smell, but you can definitely hear them
he's one of the group who turns around & looks at his rear afterwards

now missey, missey is the QUEEN of silent but deadly.

if there wasn;t about 12 coats of paint on it, i can imagine the wallpaper would start peeling with some of them


hehe, when we first got missey, we were also looking after a Tibetan terrier, we carried miss down the street as she wasn;t allowed to walk yet to show her to a lass down near the shops

my mother had a hold of zak;s lead and he cocked his leg up her while she was stood talking

jake managed to get me last night too, while my sister was talking to the dog we walk's owner
it wasn;t just a marking wee either - it was a relief wee. now that's a soggy trouser leg.

Ouch I am glad though that it's not just my dog, I was mortified He also has this strange urge to pee on bin bags or plant recycling bags, one street across from me is old and narrow and they have no front gardens or access for the binmen to the back. So they leave them on the street and I have to take the dog in the road or he'll pee on every last one of 'em

When we had major gas works done in our street last year, he wanted to pee on the barriers. I decided that since they tried to bill me for a gas leak they caused, that I'd let him

Thanks for posting that, what a clever cat I think he/she would have been paw perfect if alone after all who wants to be filmed in the loo!

Your dog and mine must be related - mine not only waits for the least convenient spot but she loves an audience! I was walking her through a crowd of boys outside our local college this week and with 20 or so people all looking at her she decided the time was right! I don't have any qualms picking up after her but did she really need all those people to be watching?!

Highly recommend a couple of pieces of value kitchen roll in the bottom of each poo bag - helps to get hold of the deposit and hides it from view - also can be used to go directly onto a runny one to help soak it up a bit before you grab with the bag! Kitchen roll also helps disguise the feel against you findger which the plastic doesnt. I always carry a pack of wet wipes with me in case a bag splits.

Sorry you sounded a little upset to me, no matter what we write on forums someone will always read a tone into the post.

One of ours 'Fry' has a thing for pooing up trees. He doesn't do it every time but he is a riot when he does. He reverses and then jacks up his behind as high up the trunk as possible, on tiptoes. Usually because they are on a RMB diet the deposit rolls down the trunk between his fore legs. But just occasionally, he plants a "Mr Whippy" up the tree.

I have no idea were he learnt that trick from as we've had him since 6 weeks.

He has even ended up sat on top of a low shrub. Try retrieving one of those.

Mine has a thing for doing it in the mddle of raods. Many's the time ive literally had to drag her across the rest of the road whilst she's been busy becasue a car is coming....

Awww bless, Try and get him to do it on the Zebra next time!

Today I had someone have a go at me because my dog was sniffing around ready to do a poo on a bit of grass outside their flat on the other side of the path (not part of their property and away from their windows). He came out and asked if the dog was going to poo there, but I responded that I don't know, but he might. So I get a lecture about dogs fouling, etc, despite the fact that I showed him a bunch of nappy bags to be used to pick up the offending items. The dog didn't go, probably put off due to the bloke, which was a little ironic.

I do resent the fact that I have picked up every turd this dog has done and disposed of it properly, doing the responsible thing (and always have done), yet I get a disapproving lecture (including the Helen Lovejoy type remark about children...). Of course, a dog doing its doings isn't a pleasant thing, but at least wait till the process is finished and I haven't picked it before complaining. I was really peed off... and the dog didn't even do that, either!

Provided you as a responsible dog owner were going to bag up the poop and dispose of it in a sanitary manner then this person had no right to lecture you. Dogs have to go somewhere and you were not going to leave a 'deposit' sitting on his grass.
I know in Manchester there are certain areas that are out of bounds to dogs ie. childrens play areas, football and multi sports areas, bowling greens and tennis courts.

I'm a bit calmer now, but I was a bit livid at the time of writing the above (needed to vent). If he had waited to see what I did after the event, then fine if I had left it, he'd have every right to complain (I would), but he would have found out that I would have picked it up and taken it to the dog bin only twenty or so metres away. Then again, he wouldn't have anything to whinge about, I suppose. Maybe in the near past some dog did a crap near his flat and the owner didn't pick it up, so I got the crap instead.

BTW, it wasn't his grass. I could understand it if my dog had crapped on any grass owned by him.


The irony is that he suggested that my dog went on the local park five minutes away. The lecture about children from him was a bit ironic due to this suggestion of his, considering the amount of children that use that park.
