So Bob jumped up in my lap when I was at my mom's yesterday.  He was standing in my lap, the sun was shining in, and I noticed that his hiney hole was not clean.     It wasn't very dirty, just a few little specks of dried poo.  I don't know why I thought dogs were self-cleaning, but I never paid much attention to that part of his body before.   

So now I feel a compulsion to keep a box of baby wipes by the back door and wipe his little hiney when he comes back inside.  Am I overreacting?

He doesn't have danglers hanging on him, just a little fleck or two of dried poo. 

Now, cleaning up my old Australian Shepherd who died in 2005 was a big chore.   I'd have to get the scissors and cut away hair and poo.  I'd buy dollar store scissors and just throw them away afterwards. 

This thread is hilarious! I'm sitting here snorting out loud! LOL
Pam - did you REALLY think dogs are self-cleaning like an oven? hahaha You're so funny!

We call them dingle berries too.  Danglers are actually more of a nose thing, when a booger is dangling.     Sarah, you have little kids so I'm sure you understand this.  Bob's bottom is like when a little kid hasn't quite mastered the art of wiping.  I wonder if it can irritate his bottom?  However, if I start wiping him, my hubby really will act on his threat of sending me to the loony bin. 

Yup here too Sarah.....LOL  Maybe if you shaved the dogs a**h*** there would be nothing for the berries to cling to huh???

But the "unwanted matter' is on the skin part around that particular exit, not on the hair.  Just a few little crumbs or flakes. 

You know, this conversation is turning out to be a great diet aid.  I go to lunch in 10 minutes, but I'm no longer hungry. 

I think Bob will be just fine Pam if you refrain from wiping the hole.   Heehee.  I know all too well the whole art of mastering the wiping!  I can't imagine it would irritate him, it would however irritate me.  The thought of that being placed on everything in the house...

If Bob wore underwear, they would be skid marks. 

I've always called 'em dingleberries, too....of course I'm from PA originally and that's next door to NY.

Mayfly had a messy poop last night (perhaps a tad too much yogurt or else it was the asparus she'd had...).  We were out walking so as she started off and I saw the messy...I stopped her and used a tissue to wipe her with....man did she suck down that tail nub and squinch her heiny hole shut tight!! 

This is funny reading!! Unfortunately, I'm eating my lunch.

Well hell, that's why poop is brown and pee is yellow....how else do we know the front from the back of our shorts!!!

BTW - if Big Brother were to ever scan this site (you know for "National Security" purposes! ) they would think we were nuts - not dangerous - just nuts!

Heck, I've seen green poop with orange chunks in it!  (Nutrident chews plus carrots....)

Do you think Communists have pink or red poop?

OMgawd... you guys are nuts!!!
