thier own lines!-)

My dog seems to have a preference for tootsie rolls she roots out of the kitty box so I don't think
your carnivore **** theory holds much water. Dogs just don't seem to mind recycled food in general.

I must agree and despite what horse owners claim about the relative merits of different types of
poo, horse **** is still ****. Just out of curiousity, when your dogs do what comes natural do you
at least push it off the side of the trail?

how about get a stick and FLING it into the woods? Either that or I carry "squishy bags" if it's a
highly trafficked area.

Mine, too, or at least they did while the cat was alive. Cat food is much tastier and concentrated
than dog food - too many calories, and the wrong protein balance, too. We tried not to give the dogs
access to the cat's dish, but they'd happily snack on the second-hand stuff any chance they got.

I carry ziplock baggies in order to pack out any mid-trail accidents, but I rarely need them. Both
of mine strongly prefer to get private when they ****. Even at home, if they see you standing in the
window watching, they'll stop and go behind a bush to finish up. When we go to tournaments, I have
to take them out on a long lead and pretend to be absorbed in the scenery to get them to go.

Well this thread should prove once and for all, esp. for HWSNBN, that MTBers know their **** from
Shinola. :^)

Sometimes I shovel cowcrap into barney lines when it's available. It works really well, even with
petrified meadow muffins.

Not when it's stuck to my bike tires.

Flinging or bagging is entirely appropriate. I get a little finicky (sp?) about turds on trails, I
don't leave any so neither should anyone else. I do think pushing or flinging animal piles clear of
the trail is Ok though obviously people **** should be limited to facilities. I don't quite
understand the callous attitude horseback riders have towards the generous amounts of droppings they
leave on the trail. I guess they just don't give a sh*t.

I can respect any dog owner who is willing to keep the trail clear.

Sometimes I wish my dog was shy about that. She makes a bit of a production out of it. She is very
smart and goes where she's supposed to, but it usually involves lots of kicking up of grass and a
short sniffing ritual which follows the act. I don't take her on the trail because she is a bit
agressive with other dogs (and some people... usually the people I don't like).
