[NAGDU] {Spam?} RE: Cleaning up after your guide dog?

[Deb and Belle]

Hey Buddy and all:
On chewy dot com, there several brands of handle tie bags if you are not
good at tying off like me.
My favorites are Bags on Board Hand Armor, heavy duty bags.  My second
favorites are earth rated lavender scented handle tie bags.  There are other
brands as well.

Hey Jen,

You think that's a gross question? Trust me. Believe me when i tell you.
Doggie doos are a regular topic of dinner conversation at the dinner table
at guide dog school. As in, "Did your dog go?" "Yeah, and it was a big
one..." And so forth. Oh yeah. We're known to go into some detail,
sometimes, about size, consistency, all sorts of things. 

So. How do we clean up after then? 

In the normal course of things, it's not as hard, nor as gross, as you'd
think. To start, our dogs enerally go on leash, so there's a pretty defined
area that they'll be going in. Generally speaking, when they stop, you'll
follow the leash down to the dog and feel its position. Squatting with a
sloped back (especially if it's a girl) means peeing. If it's a boy, you
can, umm, yeah...you can usually tell when he's peeing. It's kind of
entertaining, or else you know, small amusements for small minds, but you
get a couple of males peeing at the same time and I swear they're having a
contest to see which one can pee loudest. No need to worry in that case. If,
however, the dog's back is hunched over and curved, he or she is taking a
dump. Laying a railer. Making a deposit. Paying the taxes. Whatever. So you,
or I anyway, will keep my hand on the dog's back and point my toe in the
general direction of the business end. With a plastic baggie on my hand
(everyone carries them, right?), when doggie gets up, I simply pick up the
present, invert the baggie, tie it off, and it's all ready to go where those
kinds of things generally go. No muss, no fuss. All good, and quickly done.
