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

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

like how it feels?

I was riding by the canal towpath and i noticed poo on my handlebars! I dismounted, got a crisp packet off the floor and wiped it off then noticed it was everywhere! There was a bit on nearly every tube of my matt black pride and joy! I was furious and carried on riding when further ahead was a dog doing what they do worst, i got off and asked the owner "are you gonna clean that up?" "no" was the surly reply so i said "if you don't pick that up i'll rub your nose in it!" "like to see you try!" and with the last word he said i dropped the bike, grabbed him by the neck, dead leg and when he went down i did just what i promised! hopped back on the bike and rode off fast!

I'm really in competition with my dog, number of times per day, color, texture, size, weight, etc. Some days he wins, some days I win. Next friday I plan on winning big, really big.

You could wine a prize

HI,
My dog will have little surprises in there poo from time to time its like a box of cracker jacks, you know little things like plastic pieces of stuff, lost rings,little chunks of bones,little cute white worms ( thats my favorite) usally hook worms from walking about and catching other dogs presents left in the soil.
SO its a little like christmas you never know what you may win out the back end of a dog,
He the rule is if your dog poops it its yours washing it off is optional.
Doug

My cat refuses to make eye contact with me when she's using the litter box.

I try to trick her by calling her name really friendly-like, and sometimes she starts to turn her head in my direction, but she always catches herself before she can make eye contact, and returns to staring blankly ahead.

Positive reinforcement helps with training the dogs that outside is the place to go.

Personally, when walking my dogs, I'll watch as they go so I know when they're done (and to make sure everything looks healthy) and because one of the two has a tendency to wander -- so if I'm going to pick everything up, I need to see where it is.

This post really typifies what a cyclists can expect while riding on an MUP (Multiple Use Path).

If this thread isn't the best thread ever, on all of BF, it certainly is the best thread about MUP's.

So funny, yet so true.

Think of it as an emotional Poo-poo platter. Since the vast majority of dog owners kiss their dogs, knowing full well they are buttlickers---and I mean wet kisses, not just little smacks to the head every once in a while---it is imperative to make sure that their butt is correctly functioning and pinchin' off that loaf completely. Thus, the dog poo spell.

By the way many dogs get even, and try and push the door open when you are in the bathroom.

Personally I am entranced in a poo stare for the simple reason that the moment my baby girl is finished she, like many dogs, tries to "bury" her fresh pile by kicking dirt upon it. Unfortunately however she never quite manages to step clear of it before proceeding and if I'm not careful and yank the leash to pull her clear just as she finishes she kicks **** all over the place and potentially even at me. Poo trance for me is simply a defense mechanism for airborne feces.
