The day she made a name for herself....


As you all know, Maggie is now a Thursday regular at Camp Bow Wow. Today was the day that will go down in the books. It's the day the employees will all talk about, "Do you remember when Maggie...." It's the day Maggie received a free bath while Campground 1 was shut down. All the dogs from that camp were shifted to the next room over while the floors were scrubbed down. Why was Maggie getting a bath while the others were playing? Well you see, she is now not only in love with eating poop, she's in love with rolling around in it. She rolled in it outside and then came inside to roll all over the floors and leave a nice brown coating everywhere. The worker was checking in on her thinking "Oh, that's nice, look at how much fun Maggie is having rolling...around.....oh my god what is all of that shit doing on our floor?!"
Do you think all of the other dogs were disgusted by her. Now they speak in hushed voices behind her back, saying "Don't get too near that beagle. Word on the street is that she lathers herself in feces. She's so unrefined."

Hilarious!!! I'm here to tell you that my dog will welcome her habit, since she's been fascinated with eating her own poop lately herself....and she's getting sneakier about it too. I caught Baylie tonight actually trying to reach her mouth between her legs while pooping to grab ahold before I could get a chance to yank her away and say NO! I just don't get it! Is it that we are feeding them such good food that they want to re-ingest it again?! Oh wow, I had tears in my eyes reading this from laughing. You know I've read that there are things you can sprinkle on their food to make their poop less appealing...

We do put pills in her food now to try to get her not to eat her own poop - it maybe works half of the time. I think she rolled in someone else's poop this time, so it was an extra special treat for her.

Ewww....poor Maggie! I hope that this is a phase that she eventually grows out of! At least it was the floor at daycare and not your living room!

Is this what I have to look forward to when Jeff and I get another dog? I might have to reconsider...

Double EWWWW EWWWWW!!! Missy used to roll in fish guts she found in the neighbor's yard at Whitefish. She was always sooooo very proud! I'm sure Maggie found someone else's of course! This is giving me a good laugh on an otherwise boring day nursing my feet. this is a hilarious story - is there video for America's Funniest???

Hahahaha! Wally did the same thing when he stayed overnight. It took three of us to give him a bath in the laundry room washtub. Boy was that smelly.

That Maggie is a stinker :-) I don't know about poop, but Cayman has rolled around in her puke.
