So, this happened the other day ….
Per Ann’s FB post, “Today the girls went to Doggie Details Pet Grooming where Shana, as usual, did an AMAZING job on them. They were soft and pretty and smelled so nice for all of about an hour.
Lizzy proceeded to escaped David’s fence redesign (expanded while the dogs were being groomed). Then, Lizzy got into the Pasture where a cow pooped on her. David then chased her back into the yard where a pensive Betty Page excitedly attacked her before they both bolted through the doggie door, into the house and across the white couch.
Needless to say I had to disregard Shana’s warning about too frequent bathing and bath them for a second time today. We’ve also had to shampoo the sofa, clean the floors, clorox the entire bathroom, wash the slipcovers and finally we got ourselves cleaned up.
I think it goes without saying…..Lizzy is so grounded.

After the pasture:
WOW, it will be a funny memory a year from now, but at the moment…not so funny, I’m sure. My neighbor came home to find a skunk had come in through the doggie door and when they met in the living room, well you can guess what happened, all new carpet, furniture and paint and a lingering odor that lasted forever!!

Vernon: Ours is pretty organic poop, but it is still stinky when our dogs get hit with it, lol. Our little foo foo dogs don’t make very good ranch dogs!
Will: It is funny now, but wasn’t in the moment %#$#$%Q dogs! lol … we love them just the same.

Does video exist of this affair?
My dog prefers deer poop or any other animal from the woods.
Dave…….thank you…..thank you for helping confirm why I am a life long cat person !!! Our daughter was visiting today and she has a dog very similar to yours. She is very meticulous about grooming and keeping the dog in several days to get her big $$$ worth out of the beauty treatment. I said “come with me to my Willys website…..why ??……she yelled and wretched……”just one more reason I would never ever live in the country” !!
Head ’em up, Move ’em out, Rawhide! Keep them doggies movin” Rawhide!
One of my buddies when he was a rookie Patrolman, stopped a bull hauler and as he made his way alongside the right side of the trailer which was slightly tilted on the shoulder, and loaded with ribeyes on the hoof, one decided he was going to download his gift of rodeo guacamole through the vented side of the trailer. Needless to say, our hero was covered from head to toe with the smelly stuff and had to go home and change into a new uniform and immediately take the old one to the cleaners then clean the driver’s seat of his Highway Patrol car. Shit happens!
The dogs will recover from two baths, the couch rugs and furniture not so much probably!
Sorry about the mess to your house. Always an extra bonus when they get nasty and run through the house. Lucky they are not so big. My Britney’s used to love to find all versions of poo and roll in it and bring it home to show us where and what they found. Neighbor had goats so there’s that and all kinds of mystery poop in the woods. Deer , Coyote,and lets not forget porcupines and skunks !! Always something. Had an out side hotwater faucet added to wash the nitwits outside in the winter . Used that a lot !!

Just wait until your dog gets fascinated by that black and white “dog” (skunk) and tries to sniff its butt to see who he is… I had a dog who did it multiple times, got shot in the chest with the spray multiple times, and never quite figured out that those black and white “dogs” should be ignored/avoided.
Oh my. We’ve been without a dog fit 10 months, and an English Shepherd is on the way. I have forgotten all the downsides to living with a dog. Maybe we’ll cancel the order:) Two things for sure- Lizzy is a bad good dog, and we all got a laugh at your expense.
Thanks for the laughs everyone! Our foo foo dogs aren’t very good ranch dogs, don’t (yet) travel well, and aren’t well trained at this point either, but they do keep us laughing (and are easy to bath when they do get into trouble).
Gary: Best of luck with your English Shepherd!
Craig: Ann’s had that experience with her dogs, but I have not. Hopefully, these girls won’t have the experience either!
Mark J: The outside water faucet is a good idea! Thankfully, our dogs are easy to pick up.
Colin: Yikes! I’ve never heard of cow shit being called guacamole, but that does paint a clear image. That’s a bad day at the ‘office’, lol.
Allan: I’m glad you and your daughter enjoyed a laugh. I’ll take an occasionally shitty dog to enjoy the country life. To be fair, we are on the edge of suburbia at this point and are not too far off the beaten path.
Mark Y: These two girls are disgusting. They’d eat deer poop if the could get it, but have to settle for their own poop (which they still eat on occasion) or the cow poop (a special treat when they can snag some). Our old-man dog wouldn’t touch poop (he tricked us into thinking these Shitzu Pom mixes were easy dogs).
David in SE Mass: Sadly, there is no video evidence, but it would have made a good video 🙂
Are you sure a cow didn’t wipe it’s behind with one of your dogs???
