My new yellow lap pup, who is now 4 months old, is a major cat turd eater. Since I have had her she has always gone for the rotten stuff. I had a real hard time keeping her away from the mushrooms and the fresh road apples while walking the multi use trails. The rotten clumps of grass that the mower spits out are one of her favorite snacks.
This weekend I noticed now that the ground has thawed some she has been digging in her run and when on the long lead outside the run she has been digging next to the house where my canoe rack used to be before I built the run.
For 10 dog free years I never gave the snow free spot under the canoe rack much thought. The cats appeared to have used it as a landfill, not just a litter box. My lovely little blond dog has found her self a free lunch or two in the last two days and tonight she brought me a "tootsie roll" to share. She was so proud to have found it and quite upset with me when I took it away.
In the run the two spots she is digging are also in an area were an old table that also kept the ground snow free.
Thinking back to all the springers my family has owned this is the first turd eater of the bunch. The all rolled in horse or cow dung, but never ate the stuff.
The first thing to do is shovel a bunch of snow under the eves where the canoe rack used to be. The holes in the run are pretty deep now so she has cleaned those out. I guess we will be looking for worms in her poop still for a while. A deep layer of snow will keep the alley cats from continuing to use the spots next to the house the dog has access to.
