Our adorable puppy has a naughty little habit of chomping on dried poop she finds in the back yard.
We don’t like her to stay outside for too long because inevitably she’ll begin a search for poop.
Yesterday I let her stay out a bit longer because it was a beautiful day and I wanted her to stretch her legs.
And I was on the phone with my Mom.
And I forgot I had let her outside.
She caught my eye when I saw her rubbing her face in the bushes.
I yelled for her to come to me, but could see her face was already caked in dirt.
I realized I might have to rinse her in the sink.
When I pulled her into my arms her muzzle was filled with more than just dirt/poop.
Because it was moving.
It was thick with ants and fleas.
As if she had been pushing her face into a flea infested ant hill.
I tossed her into the bath and pulled dozens of crawling bugs from her face with my fingers.
WITH MY FINGERS!
My adorable little puppy is not adorable anymore and I’m never letting her outside again.

Nope. Just nope.
Oh. nope.
My girlfriend’s dog does that and she has to make the dog wear this special poop muzzle. Oh yes. They make poop muzzles for naughty dogs who eat poop.
Oh mother of turd….ack!!!

There’s your comment! You’ve been drifting into that nasty spam section. Thanks for letting me know! I read that dogs typically only eat other dogs/animals poop and that it helps their fur stay silky smooth. No idea why, but maybe we need to start adding it to our shampoo. ;)

Ew! I think that I’ll stick with my cute, little, clean (!) pussy cat. My skin is crawling just thinking about all of those insects (((shudder)))
Mama Kat says
Seriously. You’ll never see a cat pulling this kind of crap!

It’s a toss up which is more gross and disgusting with what they’ll put in their mouths: toddlers or puppies. I finally told my husband that he’s in charge of dog care because I don’t need another kid to take care of. My dog (she’s not a puppy anymore) likes to eat live things now. Blech!
Mama Kat says
At least toddlers eventually learn they don’t like to eat bugs. Dogs on the other hand never grow out of their “I’ll eat anything” stage. At least mine haven’t!

YUCK! We never let our dog out off leash and we always go out with her. Dogs like to get into gross stuff, can’t trust them on their own.

Sounds like the time I had to take roadkill out of my dog’s mouth. Just go to my website and put “squirrel” in the search engine. Yeah, that was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever done.

Hahaha! That seriously made me laugh out loud, at work. :P
