Ahem!... For those who don't know already, I HATE DOGS! The barking, the hair, the slobber, the constant need for attention, the barking, the barking, the barking, and... the doo-doo, the DOO-DOO, AAAAGgghgghhhhh! I have dog doody radar on my boots. If it's there, I will step on it. Oh yeah, pee. Dog pee. Early this spring I had a dog run up and piss on my rope bag.

Today I somehow ended up with dog crap ON MY HAND! Luckily, I had recently eaten lunch and was feeling rather euphoric so the ensuing bloodbath was averted... for now.

Watch out dogs. Hamel has smelt his last dog doody.

The dogs can sense exactly which rope bag to piss on. They know you HATE them.
I have 3 dogs. I guess you won't be staying at my house!
 
They drop it ,you squash it!

People pay me to pick the stuff up what about you? I'd rather spend the time picking it up with a shovel then smearing it all over the tree and my climbing line, brush pile, ladder rungs, ETC. (and of course later when we are all headed home for the barn and somebody forgets to wash it off their shoes)YUCKY DOO DOO...

Nothing smells as bad as doggie doo!
 
Poop and turds certainly create a challenge, and using small twigs to dig-out the last residue never completely leaves one satisfied. I hate the olfactory offense cute waitresses and other civilians attribute to your personal bodily hygiene (or lack of), even when pointing out that it's canine in origin. We should never have to explain what we didn't do or eat for dinner the night before.

It's probably the only item added to the invoice - after the job's done - that meets with little or no protest from the homeowner. The "pucker-factor" of squished and impacted poop smears. Around twenty bucks before local and state taxes.

Getting a truck with no carpet in the cab - prudent for contractors dealing with yards.

Not that I've spent a good deal of time studying this particular hassle, but the bigger the dog(s), the smellier the end product - especially German Shepards that eat Purina Dog Chow and minimal fatty table scraps. It's a good thing and I consider it a trade-off for living and working in this damnable heat - dog turds have a relatively short toxic and structural half-life here what with the bugs and fungi and molds and such..

But then we enter the unstudied clinical possibilities of dried poop dust invading our lungs and tainting our boogers.

It's a dangerous world out there - stay safe and expect the worst, always.
 
If a 'lil dog poo is all I've gotta worry about, then I'm really not too worried, lol.

I have always had dogs, 2 now, but I agree that dog poop is disgusting. In my yard I pick it up once a week with an (nitrile) exam glove and a plastic grocery sack. Clean-up after the spring thaw usually nets me about two FULL bags!

Re: boot cleaning - skip the sticks; use a garden hose with a nozzle. That blasts out all of the nooks and crannies like nothing else. Downside: feet sometimes get wet and ... the jettisoned poop has to go somewhere ... sometimes you find it later in a new location.

Regardless, I love dogs and plan to always have 'em. That said, I certainly appreciate the Hamel's original sentiment toward other dogs. It's kinda like kids. Many of the annoyances that you seen in other people's kids you overlook in your own.
 
Dogs are an intrinsic part of man's life - we made 'em so we deal with 'em. There have been more than one tree job where a good dog seeking friendship being lonely in the yard will often try to help drag brush - after watching us wierd people dragging sticks around. So we deal with their shet, their always having to deal with ours.

What I can't stand is a humanized little yapping prick that bites ankles no matter how much a friend you tried to show him you are. That's too human of a beast. And his turds are the worst and his human is about the same.
 
Nothing ruder than going into a client's yard and it's covered in crap. It's hard not to take it kind of personally I think.

Ditto about the yappy dogs. I knocked on what I thought was a client's door a while ago, then just as the door was opening I realized I had the wrong address. Shouldn't have been a big deal but the lady's little doggie starting yelping so loud I couldn't explain why I was there...I finally had to shout to explain...didn't put me in a good mood, and I could tell she wasn't overly pleased either. I wanted to step on the mongrel.
 
Worked on a pruning job today and the woman had 3 dogs. Not much shet in the yard but the 12 year old Bassett Hound thought we were his new playmates. He grabbed the saw gas funnell and ran off with it and tried to bury it in the garden. I asked if they could be put inside...that lasted about 5 minutes...That dog kept stealing our tools, gloves, throwballs etc...neat friendly dog but he kept getting in our way and I was worried he would get hit with a limb...Damn little(fat/short/long)dog was quick for an animal with 6" legs!!!

Re: My canine babies.

Dogs are fun. It's the owners who are the stupid ones.

I couldn't live with myself if I let a dog walk around in it's crap all day/all the time. And don't get me started with kennel dogs... WTF? Talk about cruelty to animals...

What about the dogs who were never taught to stay down. I hate "jumpers." You know the type: You show up to a bid and you have your business casual cloths on (not your Sunday best, but nicer clothes never the less) and you bend down to pet the thing and WHAM! You get his nose in your face. Then the owner tries to tell the dog to stay down. Which, the dog has no clue what the person is saying, so what happens next? The dang thing jumps on you again. This time you are standing up right and you get a paw print across the chest! The owner says, "I'm so sorry. He's a little hyper." Since you are there for their business you are obligated to say, "Oh don't worry about it." Which deep down inside you are ticked off (pun intended).

I have many other stories about how dogs poor behavior reflect the poor training from the owners. But, I will save the bandwidth for all.

Re: My canine babies.

There's the notion that dog's perceptive abilities can determine who's a prick and who's cool. Even though you're impatient with wayword or ignorant dogs Jamin, if they're jumping up on you - irregardless of their owner's authority - it seems indicative of your underlying nature and they want to connect with you because of it. That or your pheromone levels turn them on.

Pricks with rotten dogs are as normal as afable people with great dogs - you're right about cruelty, to some their dog is just a possession not unlike their ice cooler or a floor jack or their ex-'ol lady.
