The poo police got me!

Today I decided to drag Betsy and OH to a local agricultural show. All was going very well, B didn't bat an eyelid at the horses and met so many dogs that she even gave up the 'oh look how cute I am when I roll around on my back infront of you!' routine. So I was a very proud mummy.

We were mooching along the ringside when I felt a little tug on the lead and saw that madam had decided to do a poop. No problem as I had poop bags in my handbag..... then realised my handbag was still in the car! (Div!)

I stood guard behind miss B and her giant poop to stop and kiddies running into it and OH swiftly ran off to a tradestand to ger a carrier bag (tradestands were 10m away - MAX). Within 20 seconds of my OH walking away a man appeared next to me and thrusted a poop bag into my hand and told me in a very patronising manor that I was a bad dog owner and that 'Children' like me should never be left in charge of a dog because we have no idea how to look after one!!!!!

I am 22 next month. I am ashamed to say that I flipped. I pointed out to him my age and the fact that I was wearing a University hoody - indicating i am at least 18, I also asked him to take a look at my dog (Who was for once in her life doing as she was told!!) sat at my side calmly on a loose lead and for him to tell me what the hell was wrong with her. Along with some other things I dare not repeat!

At the end of my mad rant I thanked him very politely for the poop bag.

OH returned with a carrier bag and seemed very confused at to where the poop had gone and why I was spitting feathers.

I feel better now for getting that out!!

I often dole out poop bags to others, even if I feel they have no itention of picking up but I am never rude to them!

ARGHH! Can I just add - Mr Perfects dog was barking at everyone that walked past!
 
How annoying - as if Mr Perfect has never had the 'one poop more than the number of available poop bags' experience, cos for sure I have!:mad:

You should have filled the bag then handed it to him with a sweet smile

Although I can never think of these things at the time:rolleyes:
 
OH just laughed at me because the man called me a child!

I would understand the lecture if I was ignoring the poop or walking away from it... but I was practically guarding it and waiting for OH to re appear.

I need to start wearing make up!
 
Oh God you've just reminded me of a horrific incident at the beach a few weeks ago - B did a treble-bagger in three separate instalments, all I had was one of those flimsy blue poo bags (he's usually a Tesco kinda guy) which I had to reopen, twice, bleugh...and all you would have seen was me pegging it back down the beach to the nearest bin pretty much covered in ****** and sand, with this bulging bag dangling from my finger, leads in the other hand, me praying loudly...don't break...don't break....don't break.....

Hopefully Mr Perfect stepped in nice hot steamy sloppy one on the way home :D
 
I like Spudlets idea of passing him the filled bag. I bet we have all been caught out without poo bags at one time or other, and adopted the on guard position till reinforcements arrive! From the other side of the coin, daughter went on a fun ride yesterday and I decided to walk part with Evie. Despite marching round the lorry park for a bit as I know she always goes on arrival, nothing materialised so we set off. Just as we were about to go on course madam delivered a pile, so I duly scooped and discovered the only bin was right next to the bacon buttie stand, not really appropriate, so had to walk all the way back to the car with my fragrant parcel. On the way back out again a chap with another GSD (off lead ) totally ignored it as it left a large pile near the registration tent, I couldn't quite catch up with him to proffer a bag unfortunately.
 
That sort of person just wants an excuse to be rude to someone, esp a woman, bet your life he wouldn't have been so rude if you OH was there!!!? I'd have rubbed his face in it and said 'Bad Boy'. :D Jeez we all get caught out and you weren't walking away and leaving it so what on earth did he think he was achiving? Stupid man.
 
I feel better now after all of your poop tales!

I very much doubt 'Mr Perfect' would have said anything to me if OH was still there, he is a big tattood skinhead so he looks the type to start a punch up! Shame he is a complete wimp!

CC - I have also done the run to a poo bin carrying a full bag that was not disigned to take the poop of anything bigger than a spaniel!
 
thank god i live where poop bags are not necessary :o i can't stand the idea of having to pick some up :o

agree though - he ounds like a man who just wanted to vent! how annoying for you! i like the hand it back idea :D
 
My god you must have some big grounds not to have to pick up poo!!!!Do you have young kids that come visiting??Not getting on high horse(no pun intended),but dog poo full of bacteria etc that can cause all sorts of disease,if you have any kids etc around may be worth picking up.On a lighter note i suffered a bag break an got a pooey finger the other day,my mate knew i was on my way as he could hear me retching 2 fields away!!!!!!

Bloke sounds like a typical bully,i allways pick up after mine,was on beach with my 3 an picked up, while2 very well dressed "ladys" let there gsd squit all over beach yards from where kids were playing,i said pick it up they just stuck there noses in the air an carried on:mad:
Suffice to say i hadda pick/scoop up theres as well. Ah the wonderful life of dog owning.

i live in the highlands ;)
 
I live in the wilds and if the dogs do their business in the bushes/trees/scrubland/undergrowth I leave it there to mulch down (they always take themselves off the main path to do so). The people I have met out there on our main walks could probably squeeze into a phonebox, never mind kids playing there.
I dispose of all dog poo in our scrub field and it's surprising how fast it disappears.

There's a great little film on the subject, called 'Doggy Poo' how an unwanted piece of poo helps to make a flower :p

If in a public place, on a pavement, path, beach etc of course I lift it.
Plus I have been lifting bacteria-filled dog poo since I was a kid and I haven't died yet :p

Forgive me for being dense...but why does that mean you don't have to pick up poop?

in a nutshell - where we walk we don't really have other folk living/walking :)
the poop just decomposes naturally - poop is only really a problem in less rural areas where there are far more dogs in a small arena and where other folk may tread on it or where there are children playing etc - we don't have any of those problems round here

Fair enough. :)

I've heard people say they're leaving it as its the countryside and it doesn't matter...um no because I still end up walking in it! But I guess if theres no one else around who cares :D We have too many walkers round here so even if its out on the moors or wherever I still feel the need to scoop :o

round here you are more likely to tread in deer or pheasant poop lol!!
i would poop scoop if i went anywhere less rural = but we don't venture out much :o
the only other dogs round here are the keepers = and i'm not sure he'd even know what a poop bag was lol!
 
I am the same as posie_honey as in generally most walks are in areas where you don't need to poo pick but if I go anywhere more public then i do take poo bags.

What makes me mad though is that other people who walk their dogs in these less public areas do pick up the poo (very good) but then just leave the tied up poo bag where the cars park!!! What is the sense in that? They would have been better off leaving the poo where the dog did it as at least it can decompose naturally - a plastic bag is never going to disappear is it!!!
 
*shudders* or when they hang the bag in a tree or on a bush. Great, a leaking bag of crap at face height....just what everyone wants!
 
I will leave poop if I am in a very rural area, or at least flick into hedgerow. I do pick up on agricultural land as apparently it can cause serious problems to cattle if baled in silage. I actually leave on my own field (as long as not due for hay making) and it is surprising how quickly it breaks down and disappears.

Yes we get thaqt round our way to its allmost like people are we need a poo bin here,so we will leave all our poo in this spot,just in case anyone from the council happens to walk by an think poo bin needed here!!!!1/2 the time there is one around the corner anyway,what does annoy me is lots of parks have,a pick up poo policey(and quite right)but provide no poo bins,:confused:.if needs must i use bio degradable poo bags an sling them in a bush somewhere,other then hanging them from a tree like a poo xmas decoration.Wow allmost a whole thred about poo LOL.
 
I occasionally hang poo up on a linear walk where there are no bins - and come get it on the way back so I don't have to carry it - especially as one of our friends' dogs thinks that the full bag is a nice toy to try and grab from your hand.

I nearly got stuck by the hair in a prickly tree at Blenheim as dog always tries to go in inaccessible places (ditch, middle of nettles etc), I thought he was just sniffing and we were a little away from the track so I let him get under the tree and then realised I was going to need to go pick it up - fortunately there were millions of bins, but I did end up treading in some in the car park! Right by a bin as well.

One of our local woods says on its notices to flick into the hedgerow rather than pick it up, as it's better for the environment, which is good - I really hate the sensation of warm poo
