Prepare for woes

It all started a month or so ago.

MONTHS of cleaning up random poo? I can't even imagine. Razor drops nuggets occasionally. And yes, having MANY dog feet with which to spread such things is horrible. I'm so sorry. If it's pee you can just have her wear diapers. But for poo? damn.

I’ve been trying to think of inventions for poo collection straight from the anus but with no luck . I need to make a little machine that they poo into strapped to their bottoms and it cryovacs the parcels before dropping them. Smell and mess free.

Penny, I'm sorry, it's all so hard. I know it's not just the exhaustion of cleaning up without having proper cleaning aids, but also the huge emotional toll it is probably taking on you. The hurt, the pain, the guilt, the worries, the not knowing, the blame, the blue sads, the red sads, the empty defenseless feeling that you can do nothing to make it better for her. I know all of these, I think poo cleaning is the easy part Pens, well not easy when stacked on all of the other things, everything will be hard.

It's in my nature to always try to make things better, easier, fix it all, and I know it can be so annoying and I also know this situation I can't fix or make better for you (see how I'm still trying though). I guess what I wish for you is for you to be able to see all the god damn funny, amazing, crazy, unreal good times the two of you shared and be able to sit in that, take it in. xoxoxo

Haha it’s not that bad . It was just annoying me that night when I thought to fix the problem I would take her out in the dark before she went to bed but she wouldn’t poo (because of course I was telling her what to do) and so I gave up, went to bed, and found out she had stepped in poo while she was out there only because my sheets were now covered in poo!!! I tried to write the post with humour because this seems to be a ridiculous situation.

Thanks for trying to fix everything

Haaa, I was totally coming from it from a different direction, sorry about that. I don't know, everything just seems heavy at the moment.

Shit, it sucks.

We live the life of poo too. Usually they don't mash it, but sometimes yes. If Beep even remotely looks like he's going to have diarrhea, I fill him full of Pepto.

I'm glad Pan survived her breathing incident. How scary!

Hang in there! Poop does mean that they're still alive :)

[penichops]

I can’t imagine how awful diarrhoea would be in this situation. Good luck with Beep’s bum too.

Oh Penny I have so much empathy for you. Our dogs went through a horrible poop explosion phase this winter and I know all about the dry heaving. Then Reed went through a horrific diaper stage where I’d look down while saying for fucks sake, why is there poop on me 😡🤬 Any chance to put her in girl panties to contain the poops?

[redwoodranch]

And now after reading everyone’s posts - I didn’t want to be that person laughing out loud while some was crying ya know? But I had some tears of laughter, half in your dilemma and half in memories of our own poo instances. I still think the ultimate was leaving Cynosports, riding high on Yankees win, and Addies poop explosion in the car in the middle of nowhere, only to have Yankee treat herself to a little snacky cake while we were in cleanup mode 🤢 And talesofmyboys I threw away a lot of dog beds this past winter........

Oh, Penny...so much poo. Our old dogs are so precious, but there is always that poo issue. Your post made me giggle, but feel sad for you, too. I think you are right about finding the humor in these things. Just think what lasting memories Pan is helping you make right now!!
