I'm tired of cleaning up poop!

I always thought the diapers were more for when they are in heat and to prevent studs from marking all over the place.

Yes, they are for dogs in heat. But it's a good thought.

cleaning poop off a hairy dog butt?

I have a lab so I don't often have that. I used to trim some of my Golden's hair around her butt and back legs.

I've decided it is not "time". She had runny poop outside yesterday. Told dh to keep an eye on her when I went out last night. She pooped inside before he got her out.

He cleaned up most and I had to go out to buy some more carpet shampoo for my Little Green.

After cleaning I was petting her and thought about euthanasia and thought "I cannot do it. It is not time yet".

So I started a new thread about food for her.

That's sad, but also because it's true of every lab I've ever had/known. We had one growing up that learned how to open the fridge, so we had to put a child safety lock on it. She also ate an entire pizza off the stove and all of our Easter candy one year. The easter candy was hiding in my parents closet, but she was able to sniff it out, open the closet. AND she tore open a box of dog biscuits and ate them all once, so we had to put those inside Tupperware containers.
