RN, it's just one of my dogs that eats her poop, the 8 month old black lab mix. I'll let you know if this organic stuff works, Dogdoc. I think it will be at least a couple more days before it arrives. This is the stuff I ordered. http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/products/Only-Natural-Pet-Stool-Eating-Deterrent/...

RN, I have tried pineapple and a Dr. Fosters and Smith product to stop poop eating in my dogs, and had no success at all. So I'll be interested to know if this works also!

My vet told us that this is a vitamin deficiency and prescribed some doggie vitamins that seemed to do the trick.

RN, that's only one "possible" reason, Escapee. The more likely reason for my dog is that she is pooping out some undigested food. And that stuff I ordered does have vitamin supplements, along with enzymes to help completely digest the food.

RN I can't let my dog have brewer's yeast and it is in the supplement. She gets digestive problems from it. A lot of coprography is behavorial. Some dogs like to clean up after themselves.

RN, I would also add that some dogs eat to live and some dogs live to eat. I have two dogs that are perfectly healthy, even perhaps a bit overweight, who eat everything that looks even slightly digestible. Those two are my poop eaters!

RN: Kar that's funny. My Queensland is not a big eater, and is thin, but very healthy. I cannot get weight on that dog it seems. yes, she's been wormed. We got her as a puppy from out front of the grocery store. She was 8 weeks old (omg she just turned 7 today!) and she has always had all the food she could ever want all the time. She eats when she feels like it, has never had to compete for food, therefore she knows she'll always get fed. My doberman was a stray/rescue and he eats everythign in sight. I think it's because he went without food for so long, he thinks everything he eats is going to be his last meal. But, neither of them are poop eaters. {shudder}

RN Dakota is quite upset with me. She has a facial scheduled for next week (it was scheduled for last month but the office rescheduled) at her dermatologists office. She's been looking forward to it since the plan was to pick her up a little earlier than needed, grab some lunch, and then head to her appt for an afternoon of pampering. I just got a reminder card from her ped that she is due to have a booster for hep A and called to schedule the appt. I'll admit I was thinking more about convienience when I told the receptionist, "Ya know what, I already have to take her out of school on the 13th for another appt, why don't we schedule the shot for later that afternoon?" If ya'll heard a girl screaming NOOOOOOO a couple minutes ago, that was Dakota realizing I just capped off her day of pampering with a painful shot!

RN tell Kota she will be nice and relaxed after her facial that the shot will not hurt as much.

RN, LOL Dfenn! She said, "They're doing the facial on my face, not on my shoulder." I reminded her she has softball tryouts later this month and if we put the shot off any longer, she'll be sore on tryout day. That seems to have settled her down some.

RN Southern_grits they have done that a lot up here in Boston in passed years. They have even cancelled school because it was too cold. They did not want kids walking to school when it is 20 below zero with the wind chill factor

RN, I shouldn't be surprised, they've done it here in Tennessee in the past too and it's usually the right call for us. It's just that because of an issue with his mother, DGS has not been able to go back to school after Christmas break until DS could change his school, which he did today. (Today was their first day back anyway.) I was just SO looking forward to MY break starting, lol!

RN I'm hoping for snow - enough to call school off. Hubby's office policy is if the metro calls off school, he doesn't have to go in to work. So SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW!

RN, We got a light smattering of snow. I let DGS out to play in it for a few minutes earlier and he wasted no time in pelting the front porch with snowballs. I just took Lady, my Cocker, out to potty and she didn't want to come back in. She was grazing through those snowballs like they were made of liver, lol.

RN I truly believe I am married to a saint. Anybody that knows me here knows I am married almost 14 years to a man 25 years older than me. He has somehow managed to be the designated driver for all his old buddies for their doctors appointments, operations, everything. Well this week through all the snow and sub zero cold, he got his buddy to the hospital for his eye operation, and also picked him up the next day. Well, we had another bad snow and the eye operation guy has to go in for a follow-up and DH is driving. Because the roads are incredibly bad, DH asked him if they could take his new 4-wheel drive SUV (he boasted it was $50,000) instead of taking our 2 wheel drive truck, and the guy said no! He said he's scared someone may run into it. Yet, my sweet DH said he will still drive him to the doc's. I told DH he better hope I don't answer the phone the next time he calls. I'm not as sweet.

RN: OH! I forgot to say that stuff that's supposed to keep my dog from eating poops arrived today. I'll be starting her on it tomorrow. I have to put the little dog on it too because we don't know if she is just eating her own poops, or both of their poops.

RN: I am livid. My sister used 600 of our 700 shared minutes for our cell phones. SERIOUSLY?!?! I want to turn off her calls, but I can't do that remotely. DANGIT.
