Don't let the cuteness fool you…
2009 at 1pm Posted by Rebecca Joines Schinsky
This dog is a total pervert. Like, straight-up 100% bona fide pervert.
At 3 o’clock this morning, she came charging into our bedroom and whined until I got up to let her outside. I stumbled through the house and let her out into the backyard. She pooped immediately, which made me happy, since it meant it was actually worth my time to get out of my warm comfy bed.
But then…
Then, she turned around. She looked at the poo. She sniffed the poo. And she proceeded to eat the poo. Her poo. Her only-seconds-old poo.
It gives me heebie jeebies just thinking about it.
I grabbed a blanket off the sofa, hastily wrapped it around myself, and ran into the yard to make her stop and drag her back inside.
I think she only got half of the poo. But still.
I don’t think I’ll be letting her give me kisses anytime soon.
And to my neighbors, if somehow you happen to be reading this, I’m sorry about the whole running-into-the-yard-at-3am-yelling-at-my-dog-to-stop-eating-her-own-shit thing. It was, by far, not my proudest moment. Especially when my left boob popped out of the blanket. Yeah, sorry about that.

LOL!!! Hahahah
Yeah, one of our dogs is good and never does that…the OTHER one though, thinks the green goose poo in the park is the BEST THING EVER! Yeah. Gross. Then she gets sick and poops all over our apartment because of it. Lovely.
I read somewhere that dogs eat their poo when their food is not being digested quickly enough. Something about leftover nutrients, etc. The article I read said to change the food to one with less fillers.
The poo is not pleasant. Easting poo is really not pleasant but the boob thing was the icing on the cake. Next time, give me a warning as I was taking a sip of water and it nearly came thru my nose. That also, would not have been pretty. LOL.
You might not want to hear this — but if she’s eating her own feces then a visit to the vet is in order. It’s often the sign that something’s wrong.
I second Steve. She might need a visit to the vet. My dog wakes me up every morning 5 mins before the alarm so he can do his business. But he would sit still for breakfast afterwards and leaves me alone.
oh my gosh! I’m so glad my dog has never eaten his own poo. that’d be really gross. Puke, yes, poo, no.
oh and we had a Wooba once, but it was destroyed in 5.2 seconds, except the rubber kong-shaped piece on the inside which became a favorite toy for a couple weeks until that too bit the dust. Our 25 lb. beagle/terrier needs super-tough big dog toys. It’s ridiculous.
Steve & Matt—I called the vet this morning, and we’re taking in a poo sample tomorrow. Thanks for your concern. I’ll do pretty much whatever it takes to keep her from doing it again.
My dog has eaten deer poo, though never her own or our other dog’s. Gross, but I’m told this really isn’t unusual. Dogs will also eat vomit.
And yet their mouths are supposedly cleaner than ours. . .
Ew-ew-ew! Poor you and poor dog. I hope she’s ok, but maybe she was just sleep-pooping and wasn’t quite aware of what she was doing.
LOL! Sometimes our pets are so nasty!
I had a hard time stopping laughing long enough to write this comment. That is too funny! We frequently have to stop Béni from doing the same thing. We go to pick up after him, and he comes and either tries to eat it or sit in it. *sigh* I was hoping he’d grow out of it, but it looks like I’m in for a doggy lifetime of shooing away from eating the poop. Lovely.
She has such an adorable face — I sure hope that all is ok.

Thanks, Ti. I’m sure she’s fine—I’ve never seen her do it before, and I’m going w/ Elysabeth’s theory that she was just sleepy and confused.
LOL I laughed so hard I startled my dog. Yours is certainly adorable though.
LOLOLOL….I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop laughing after reading this post. Jack hasn’t done anything like this, but he has munched on some kitty ‘do.
EW! Reminds me of our cats however. They will throw up and then attempt to eat it. Yuck. My hubby has never seen me move so fast,trying to stop them. He is adorable though.
I have to tell you a funny story, because your story of running out in just a blanket, reminded me. Years ago, when I was a teenager we had a dog, nikki, who liked to dig. One night I hear a noise and get up to investigate. I find my dad, leaning sleepily in his underwear against the dog run fence. He has the sprinkler in his hand.
You know the old type of sprinklers that slowly fans back and forth. He was trying to spray nikki. She, however, managed to stay just out of reach, running to the other side of the run as the spray went slowly back and forth, back and forth. I wish I had a camera at the time to take a picture.
If it was good enough to eat once, it’s good enough to eat twice …
Yeah that’s pretty gross. On the up side, think of all the interesting search times you’re going to get from this post!
You need a new tag…things that make you gag.
I had a dog that did that once. The vet said he could give me something to put in her food so her poo wouldn’t taste good…ummmm…’scuse me? It’s poo….doesn’t that pretty much MEAN it tastes like well…poo ?????? I about laughed so hard in his office I almost peed myself…he stood and watched me completely stonefaced, like he didn’t get what was so funny. Of course, that made me laugh even harder….
Oh, that’s disgusting. Rabbits do it too, unfortunately, but for them it’s perfectly normal and apparently helpful for their digestive systems to have the extra fiber (according to our vet). It still makes me feel very, very ill though. Hope she’s okay!
Ewwwww! That is both gross and funny because it wasn’t me.
just when I was thinking of getting another dog…
OMG-that is gross. My guy loves to sniff it but God help him if he decides to eat it. lol. The whole poop eating is bad enough, but the boob falling out of the blanket had me LMAO!
YUCK! That is nasty!
Victoria Stillwell recommends feeding your dog a big of fresh pineapple with every meal as it makes the poo distasteful (and I fully understand how that sounds) and there is also a powder you can buy to add to their food called Distaste that supposedly has the same effect. One of the dogs I petsit has the same disturbing habit and the owners use the powder.
