… **Ewwwww!!!** …

Usually it’s my toes. Her baby brother – her owners got a new pup a couple of months ago and he really is her half-brother, and is one of the cutest things I have ever seen – has Frenched me a time or two. I have not inquired as to whether he too is a poop-muncher.

I don’t think I want to know.

Can I give it to all the dogs, cats, squirrels, pigeons, opossums, crows, raccoons, anteaters and small children within a 2 mile radius of my house? If so, then my dogs are - maybe - saying No to poop eating. Those two knuckleheads can find and snork up doots so quickly that taking them for a walk while keeping the snacking to a minimum involves more focus, fast reflexes and coordination than a good hockey game.

I can’t imagine what this stuff could have in it that would discourage dogs from eating something already so foul it would gag a maggot[sup]1[/sup].

[sup]1[/sup] Obviously not literally.

My golden is hilariously offended by her own poop. If I throw a ball in the yard and it lands anywhere near her poop, she’ll make a big circle around the spot and sneak up behind the ball, grab it and run away.

Canada goose poop, tho…she can’t get enough of that, uh, shit. She’s a vege-pica-tarian.
