Does your dog celebrate?

[Jasandjules]

Out of our dogs, one of them, for some reason, each time he has a poo, rushes around all excited - it's like he celebrates a bowel movement.

Do your dogs do this? Or is mine just a fruitcake?

[Chilli]

No mine just dumps on the floor, then looks at me as if to say "Well, it ain't gonna move itself".

[Pied Piper]

We have one that does the same.

Does a lap of honour as soon as he's finished.

[WildCards]

I do that. Erm, it's normal isn't it? You know, a boy thing, like not minding your own farts.

[Charlie Foxtrot]

Mine did, there was a spring in his step and a smile on his face after he'd had a massive dump. stupid dog.

Mine does this occassionally too - though only when its in the back garden. If its out on a walk then she doesn't give a you-know-what. Maybe that is the telling difference?

And yes, the dog probably is a fruitcake - but would you have it any other way?

[The Wookie]

Our Boxer did that, you always knew he'd just been for a dump in the yard as he'd run back through the flap at full pelt and bounce around the kitchen for a few minutes

[Mr Darcy]

Mine seems to get all excited about needing to go for a dump. He will run round in cricles till he settles into postion. He then bounds off afterwards. I think its his favourite thing.

My lab is very shy - he absolutely will not take a dump if he's being watched. When out walking he will clamber up precarious rock faces or into vertical sided valleys just to get out of sight. In the garden he cleans up after himself - from a puppy I built a large soakaway in a far corner with a hinged wooden lid which he's goes and dumps in so you can then just knock the lid down for everyone else to enjoy the garden. If it's down and he needs to go he holds on until someone lifts the lid for him.

My little dog appears to put a lot of effort into "site selection" for his evacuation.
Once he is satisfied it is exactly the correct spot he will crease his brow and deliver bowel contents in an amazingly short time.
Followed by six or eight thrusts with the back legs that send tufts of grass in the air.
Return to the kitchen and sit.......very near to the jar that contains his biscuits.

As an aside, if I were to post my CO is 1.8, my hydrocarbons are 220 should I increase the shims on my pressure regulator I would probably get one or two replies, but I reckon this will reach three pages

You ought to be on super nanny

[Corpulent Tosser]

Our previous blacklab (sadly no longer with us) used to get himself in some state taking a dump, it had to be up a banking/on a hillside/against a tree, presumably to spread his scent as far as possible, I did wonder what people who walked their dogs the same place we did thought about these turds a couple of feet up a tree trunk.

He didn't celebrate afterward but did have a satified look about him.

[XJSJohn]

nope, not here, mine just addopt the pose, brace, take the strain then proceed to lay pipe!

Although Eddy does have a ertain look of relief as if a great weight has been lifted when he has just fineshed laying a chocolate Mister Whippy

[Shabs]

my uncles dog, now living with us, celebrates big time. careful site selection, huge kick-back with all four paws, running full speed, tail going... it's like he just one the lotery - does it on walks and in the back garden

Labs are so easy to train, we've always done this with them. The soakaway is full of sand and as a puppy we always picked up any mess in the garden and took it and dropped it in with the dog watching. After a couple of weeks he started going there himself and after a month he wouldn't go anywhere else in the garden!

I often feel better after depositing a stink nugget. Maybe not what you asked though

Yep, that's about the same. Also takes a huge amount of time selecting a suitable "dumping ground", sniffing furiously for ages like he's caught the scent of a deer. And afterwards it's like he's just won Gold at the Dog C**p Olympics the way he runs around...

Out of interest, is it all male dogs who seem to be doing this?

[susanq]

One of my Cockers' (Rory) looks really worried when he's taking a dump, briefly inspects it, then wipes his backside on the grass/tarmac/beach. The other (Lucy) can't get away from it fast enough. Incidently Rory always wee's first, dumps second, Lucy is the opposite way around. Is this a boy dog/girl dog thing?

[Hooty]

Don't do it myself but it's amazing how utterly rejuvenating a bloody good clear-out is.

[Papa Hotel]

When mine passes a turd she comes trotting back into the house like a show pony.
