Not the dogsh!t itself but the levels ,it seems to be everywhere in the last few days

Fiftyfilthy · 19-01-2019 01:16AM

Yes

It's hardly surprising, so many dog owners who can't clean up after their fur babies.
Nearly hit a straying fur baby yesterday, just having a walk, by himself on the road.

tomoliver · 20-01-2019 09:43PM

I didn't see any for a while but now it's everywhere all of sudden

Hence my query

The darkness allows selfish dog owners to let their dogs $hite without anyone seeing it.

I really don't know why people have dogs in their houses or apartments it is just plain disgusting and totally unhygienic. I recently bought a second hand house which had been rented prior to the foreclosure and auction where I bought it. The only problem in the house is damage from dogs, they gnawed away the stairs bannisters and gnawed on door frames also. The former tenant who allowed their dog to damage another persons property like this must be a total absolute scumbag, the former landlord obviously did nothing and considering the house was being foreclosed they probably didn't care either. These are the same sort of people who would bash their car door of your car but ate the head of you if it was done to themselves.

I used to like dogs, now however I would happily kick them to death now that I live in a city and there is dog**** all over the streets.

You probably should have bought a different house.

For your own mental wellbeing, like.

we've always had a dog. no damage here. only excellent angel-like fur babies and we clean up the poo.
and they only enhance a home. consider instead the smell from dirty nappies/cigarette smoke/unwashed humans.
give me a fur baby any day:)

You might want to get help, mental help.

Stop calling them fur-babies for feck sake, you sound like lunatics.

I'm mad about animals (1 dog, 7 cats at present) but they're not babies. They're dogs and cats.

kneemos · 21-01-2019 07:59AM

Probably decomposes faster in hot weather/heavy rain.

They're not dogs, they're good boys.

I guess cold weather in Ireland usually coincides with clear skies and no rain to wash it away?

Gentleman Off The Pitch · 21-01-2019 08:32AM

Walking anywhere in Ireland has basically become collecting dog **** with your shoes. It's got so bad that I've started to despise dog owners. Around my area it appears that if the dog ****s a couple of mm off the road or path, the owner is automatically resolved of any obligation to clear it up.

Plopsu · 21-01-2019 10:59AM

There was a definite increase where I work over the Christmas like Santa had been flinging it from his sleigh as he passed overhead.

True, and cats aren't cats, they're assholes.

Noticing a fair bit of it too. Its usually left by the auld wans with their bichon frise/mini yorkie/chihuahua type dogs.

You could DNA test every lump of sh*t in my town and not one of them would belong to my dogs. If you can't clean up after your dog, maybe you should have a look at yourself.

There's some massive dog turds left after the usual family favourites, labs and retrievers too, having a walk for themselves, happy out.
It's like India or a developing country more than Western Europe at times, people thinking it's ok to let them wander unattended all over, chasing cars etc.

Oh yeah, its not exclusively the little dogs, have seen plenty of bigger ones too but folks seem to think because its a little dog, its ok to leave it there.

Still better than horse sh*t on the path, made my way through one of those this morning too.

bsloepro · 21-01-2019 01:50PM

Notice a fair bit myself. Possibly due to short days and people not taking their dogs to parks etc after work, but instead out on the local paths. P1sses me off no end. I have a lab and wouldn’t consider leaving the house with at least 3 sh1te. These people give the rest of us a bad name. Another thing that really gets to me is the people who bag it but then throw the bag somewhere that’s not a bin. That’s even worse cos it can’t even decompose.

well at least cats have the good grace to clean up after themselves, by covering up their own cr"p

SortingYouOut · 21-01-2019 01:54PM

Met Eireann actually forecasted dog ****e and I'm pretty sure there was a nationwide warning in place, so anyone only has themselves to blame if they stand in it.

Most of them...

One of ours was hand raised from about 2 weeks old. Had to bottle feed her and even wipe her arse to coax out her first solid dump. Normally the mother will lick their arse and abdomen to make them go. I stuck with a damp tissue.

Seemingly it's the mother who will also teach them manners and etiquette, such as burying their own poop, because she doesn't. The rest all do, but you know a mile off when Lucy has laid cable, it stinks because she just drops it on top of the litter and saunters off.

D3V!L · 21-01-2019 03:38PM

We bring our lad for a walk around Crumlin (Dublin) and let him sh*t where he wants. Its not like they'll notice.

Yeah, I tend to use damp tissue myself, the whole idea of licking a cats hole isn't very appealing.

No, it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea Hector. I was pondering the accumulation of dogsh1te though. After a few pints I figure it's not that dogs crap more in winter, the cold air just keeps it 'fresher' for want of a better word so it takes longer to break down.

Does dogsh1T spike in cold weather?
