nelsona Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I have 13.5 y.o german shepherd who sometimes suffers from diarrhea. (He saw his vet but it still happens). Anyway, this morning I went for a romantic walk with a male suitor and my oldie and it happened. The diarrhea was very liquidy and ended up on a concrete ground. I did what I could to clean it (plastic bags) and put some earth on top of. I came later with some equipment and sand to properly clean it; Of course I was not able to remove everything so put some sand on top of it. I decided to never walk on a concrete ground again as it easier to clean any mess on a grassy ground. I would appreciate it if you lovely people could give me some advice how to deal with such unexpected accidents. Embarassed dog owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayhay Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Firstly! hahahahahahahahahahaha! Dogs always know when to turn it on! lol Secondly, you went above and beyond what most people would bother to do, so good on you! Don't stress about it all too much, these things happen from time to time, it should wash away when the next good rain comes. I would stick mostly to grass areas, nature strips, parks, even gravel pathways would be better. Sadly, life just can't accommodate your every single weird poop issue, so do your best. Glad to hear your oldie is still going well, that is the most important thing of all. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsona Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Thank you Ray. That helped a lot. The day is Valentine day and on top of it the dog owners nearby grabbed their charges and ran away. Needless to say the said suitor looked lost and finally decided to join me in the cleaning operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 A Valentine's Morning to remember .. I think your idea of avoiding concrete a good one - hope your old boy continues to enjoy his walks ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 definitely finishing with sand is good. Never finish or top it off with lawn clippings or leaves like some people at my local hockey field do... It keeps the poop wet sloppy and *HIDDEN*. Do not want to do that. Sand or dirt at least dries it out some. We got embarrassed at the beach yesterday. Got distracted. That's when dog decided to poop, when we weren't looking. Turned around to check and saw a good Samaritan cleaning up for us. Was that our dog - yes... How Embarrassment (we're usually the ones making sure everyone else picks up - would you like a bag for that?) Mr Good Samaritan had two big dogs and a full sized kitchen tidy bin bag for pooping up. OMG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willem Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 you could first freeze it http://poopfreeze.com/ ...and then http://auggiedog.com/ :D ... but maybe carrying a small bag of sawdust is easier and might work even better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply Grand Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 In a weird way that probably only dog people would understand, that is such a cute story!! :D I agree you went above and beyond and certainly wouldn't expect anything more, but you could carry a bottle of water with one of those sports pop tops on it, you can get a bit of pressure if you squeeze them to wash away what you can from concrete.

Katdogs Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Your male suitor might be a keeper! First date (kinda) I walked with mine to the station and somebody was at the bottom of the escalators with a bit of blood and my bloke went forward to help, faster than me. It's been 17 years now and I totally trust he will care - humans, dogs, cats, critters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Yep, if a male suitor of mine couldn't cope with a bit of doggy diarrhea he wouldn't be suiting me for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
