The dogs are lucky they are so cute...

So this morning as I was running around cleaning litter boxes before work, 2 of my dogs decided to beat me to the last one.  As I came into the room there they were munching away on "litterbox tootsie rolls".  YUCK!  Then when I went to take them away, the third dog decided to poop on the floor!  I think they planned it!  Nice way to begin the day, LOL!

Re: The dogs are lucky they are so cute...

  • yeah, dogs are pretty disgusting when it comes to litter boxes.  We keep our litter boxes in an empty closet in one of our spare rooms, but we have it rigged so that the door is only open wide enough for the cats to get in there.  Brody is so giant that his head wouldn't even fit!!

  • Gross.  I am always shocked by what Stella will eat.  So thankful we don't have to deal with litter boxes!!

  • I almost threw up my coffee reading that!

    I guess I shouldn't be surprised; I've seen dogs go at what horses leave behind many, many times. I've just never seen a dog head for a litter box. Ick!

  • ugggggghhhh my dog does it too. It's the nastiest thing in the world! But I hate litter boxes in general.

    That's a good idea stu... how did you rig the closet so Brody wouldn't get in?

    haha, all we did was fold up some cardboard to shove into the crack of the door by the hinges, so it only opens so far and also won't swing shut.  So when I need to get in to clean the boxes, I use the other door on the closet (it has double doors), or I just pull the cardboard out.  I'm sure there's a much better way to do it, but it was a quick fix for us when we first moved in, and hey, it works, so we haven't tried anything else.

  • Dakota once swallowed a pretty good sized rubber band. Whole. And pooped it out. Whole. Hahaha. She'll eat anything. I saw her eat some random thread, just licked it right off the couch. She'll eat bugs, silica gel from beef jerky packets... treadmill oil hahah.

  • Often the simplest solution is the best! I would never have thought of the cardboard idea. I think inside the box, not about collapsing them and using them to fix problems... Sigh.

  • We keep the litter box in the bathtub in our spare bathroom.  I don't think Chloe would eat anything, but we wanted to make sure, and that's just the way we've been doing it since we got her.  Going to have to figure something out once we have a couple kids, since eventually we will need to use the guest bathroom for them.

  • I did have the boxes rigged so the dogs couldn't get into them.  However, the new dog is smaller than the cats.  He went into the box this morning and was actually giving the poop to the bigger dog to eat.  Then he went back for more for himself.  I am going to have to make it so the cats have to jump over something to get into the box.
  • Eeeeewwwwww thats one reason why I don't want a cat. I HATE litterboxes
