Doggie Poo

This Josh guy I know was telling me a story a couple of months ago about one of his dogs (brother of the sweet girl in the post below) eating a lot of grass. And then perhaps that causes some problems at the "tail end" of the process, since grass is not exactly digestible by dogs. Cows, yes. Dogs, no.

Anyway -- and this is over breakfast -- he's telling me that sometimes he has to scoot down and "help" his dog by pulling a particularly stubborn piece of grass right out of his dog's bum!

Hmmm. Yes. Well. So. Sure. Uh. OK.

I tell you we almost shipped ours back to the pound when we heard that.

And as I'm sure you've guessed .. it happened to me. This morning. eeewwww! The procedure itself was reasonable: I just grabbed the old girl by the tail, took my (gloved) hand and, well, pulled a particularly stubborn piece of grass right out of my dog's bum. ugh.

maybe we shouldn't let the kid eat grass, it might prevent us having to pull grass out of her butt too.
things to keep in mind when transitioning from dog-only family to dog & kid...
