Dog poo gazers

[boozergut]

Why do the owners of dogs on the multi use path have to stare at their dog's butt while it does its business? It seems to happen every time, they go into a their dog poo trance while you are thumbing the heck out of your bell. But its no use, they are deep into the dog poo spell, staring at their dog's rear end. Any body else notice this phsychological phenomenon??

[JoMo]

[Savas]

I've noticed this and have come to realize that the dog owner has no choice. Consider this:

1) If the cyclist is attractive, the dog owner must avert his or her gaze -- otherwise, the older dog owner will be perceived as a perv and the younger dog owner will be perceived as hitting on the cyclist. Therefore, the owner focuses on the dog's butt to avoid giving the wrong impression

2) If the cyclist is unattractive, the dog's butt is more aesthetically pleasing, hence focus is held there

On an aside note, many citizens don't like dogs so owners are expected to be very attentive. Missing a bit because the dog did a squat 'n stroll can lead to dirty shoes and looks as well as fines.

Now this question is worthy of a funded study by Harvard/Brandeis Grey Beards! Perhaps they could get some grad students in "Social Theory" right on it. At least most of today's dog owners pick up after their canine companions.

Well, if you get dog poop on your tires, it's not the worst thing. You know where it came from, you know what it's all about, and you always know where you stand with dog poop.

The worst: Gum on a hot summer day. The pavement gets frylator hot, the gum turns to a liquid state, and Yahhh! You've got it on your tires, getting your day gummed up!! :(

Sorry, got a little off topic here.

Personally, as a responsible dog owner, I look hard to make sure everything is normal, purely health related you see.
Not buying it?
Ok, fine. I am looking for undigested table scraps from last nights dinner that are suitable for mid-walk snacks.

BTW, concerning a passing cyclist - if she's good looking it would be just plain wrong to look away...I make eye contact, put on a warm smile and maybe even offer her a snack!

Um wouldnt you want to offer the ugly ones those paticular snacks ......

But surely checking out your own is a bit different to being transfixed by your dog's business.

It certainly deserves a nomination for "best thread title ever". :D

Better than having to retrive a dogs stinking hot and soggy steamer off the footpath,and watch you dont tread in it with bare feet :p

Great title, you could do greeting cards. Above you is "to cold to give the finger" thats good too.

[foible]

Have you ever watched a dog's butt during a dump? Don't knock it till you've tired it.

I watch to make sure I get my steamy new handwarmer wrapped in plastic as soon as possible. I hate to lose track of one and pick up someone else's old cold turd instead.

[lala]

As a dog owner, I can say I'm normally in a trance/daze whenever walking the doggie.

And...you got to watch where those damn turds go if you are a good person and pick them up.

I am concerned that every thing is coming out all right.

[rvabiker]

Wait...you have a bell?

[LittleBigMan]

Look. There's nothing ugly about your dog's poop. After all, he's family.

Besides, taking a poo-poo walk might be a dog's chance to get out and sniff, but you know all you care about is getting business over-and-done. A watched pot never boils, but it's still hard not to stare sometimes.

But really, what is anyone doing standing on the path?

[yespatterns]

I must now use the phrase "poo trance" as much as humanly possible.

- things could definitely be worse... like my ride yesterday when i got passed by leaking septic truck...

Now....why are you staring their dog's butt?

[dragracer]

.....I am concerned that every thing is coming out all right.

I lived on a big farm as a child and we had lots of dogs. They had 250 acres to roam around on so we never had to "walk" them....they just did their own thing. I can honestly say that I never once worried that one of the dogs was going to have any sort of a problem taking a poop.

[reich17]

How about that silly dance canines perform before their dump? It hypnotizes us into staring at their exhaust port.

[slagjumper]

I think that the humans watch their dogs poop to help the aliens understand who is in charge. It's probably not the one cleaning up afterwards.

:roflmao: :roflmao:

That one made me shoot coke (classic for those of you thinking it) out of my nose! Thanks a lot!! Probably laughed the hardest at that one 'cause I can relate. Picking up some strange dog's cold turd just grosses me out. Bizarre I know. :p

This will blow a dog owner mind. Next time you see a dog owner on the MUP locked up in a "poo trance" stop, dismount your bike, stand next to the owner (make sure you don't say a word) just stare at the dog's butt. When the dog is done look at the owner and smile, hop back on your bike and take off. I love to screw with people! I know I'm sick and should seek professional help. Sometimes I even scare myself :eek:

[FLBandit]

Hmm, on our path we have horses also! However, I don't recall if the owner was turned around backwards watching that action. Also, I must admit to sitting here thinking of ways to work "poo trance" into our next morning meeting at work!

[boozergut]

I was in Seattle on the MU path with my friend and his dog and the dog starts doing his thing and my friend starts in with the "Oh yeahhhhh mmmm goooood poooop yeah" I mean can you imaginge a friend rooting on your poop??

[Lecterman]

Ooh hoohoohoohoo groooosss

Ok, that is classic. You might want to throw in a thumbs up, but still don't say a word. Great idea.

[Lecterman]

If I see one, I'll slow and say, "Heeeey, nice ****!"

[DCCommuter]

I've lost the clicker that unlocks the car doors and I'm watching the dog's butt to see if it turns up...
