I have a weird dog. He has a pooping problem. When I walk in the park he will back up to a bush push his butt in the air and leave a poop in the bush 2 feet in the air. He has backed up to a sharp drop off and pooped down the edge. He will poop on a rock or tree that is laying down. Once we walked in the neighborhood and he got on his front paws and stuck his butt in the air. He left a turd on the edge of a rim around a fire hydrant. He left a turd in the web of my baseball glove in the garage. He will climb a pile of boxes in the garage and leave a turd at eye level. This dog is weird. ---

I just wet my pants a’ laughin! 😃 Your dog isn’t “Weird”. He is an “Artiste”. A friend of mine had 2 dogs. A beagle and a 3-legged german shepard. When he fed them, the beagle would scarf down his food, then just stand like a statue giving the shepard the “evil eye”. It would wig the shepard out so badly, he would start to whimper and eventually run away. The beagle would then eat his food also. Svengali Beagle. That was weird, too. ---

Thanks for the laugh. My cats are sure I am insane. ---

He’s not weird. He’s just leaving the headlines on the doggie newspaper. 🙂 ---

I used to have a husky-mix that would insist on backing into/under a bush to poop. Or, if there was no bush, he would back as close as he could to the nearest fence or pole. I always thought he was trying to be discreet. (AFAIK, all his poops came to rest at ground level.) ---

My dog sometimes backs up a tree to do a poo, but sometimes he just grumps it out in the middle of the yard. I assume the tree is a hopping communications board (the doggie SDMB, if you will) while the yard just all smells like him. ---

I live with two beagles, and one of them likes to hang doots off bushes like he’s decorating a Christmas tree. Festive, but stinky. My late departed beagle used to raise **both** back legs up the tree when she urinated. It would look like she was climbing the tree backwards in some canine Cirque du Soleil performance. ---

Hmmm…we plan to get a beagle after our ferrets pass on. Y’all have me wondering if we’ll need to keep an eye on its bathroom and eating habits. ---

My dog will sometimes try to take a dump while he’s hiking his leg to pee, so he gets this strange 3-legged squat with one leg out in the air. Like he’s extending his pinky when he takes a dump. ---

[QUOTE=Lute Skywatcher] Hmmm…we plan to get a beagle after our ferrets pass on. Y’all have me wondering if we’ll need to keep an eye on its bathroom and eating habits. [/QUOTE] If you get a beagle, you’ll definitely need to watch its eating habits. They eat anything at all, and in enormous quantities. If you’re not really diligent beagles will get fat real quick. ---

I reccommend beagles. The 2 I have now are no. 4 and 5. They are arrogant and smart. i.e One time Quincy was trying to lick out a can . Basement floors are slanted to direct water. It rolled around for a while. He then picked it up and jammed it into his dry food bowl. Then licked it out at his leisure.He does it all the time now. They will listen to you ,but have a little chip. Not quite sure they should listen to you, but slowly will. Quincy was found walking down the street in the midddle of a bad rain storm. He was bleeding and had a tooth kicked out. We took him in and nobody answered the paper ad. so we kept him. That was 6 years ago. Lasy year his neck was sore. Xrays showed some kind of pellets in his chest. He had been shot and healed. It was a woman because he had issues listening to women in the beginning. There are sickos out there.
