It’s March but the winter weather is still lingering. Were you a responsible winter dog owner? Did you scoop your dog’s poop? Many dog owners were irresponsible and thinking there was a winter “elf” poop scooper.
On our walks, we’ve seen many un-scooped poops. It’s YUCKY Winter Poop. As much as I want to pick it up, its impossible because its frozen poop.
I did a mini survey at one of the dog park Sugar and I frequently go …
Surprisingly 4 out 5 admittedly that they did not scoop their dog’s poop. Why? “It was cold”
I do understand what cold wintery weather presents but its not an excuse not to scoop your dog’s poop.
Did you know bacteria and parasites in dog’s poop survive the harsher temperatures? During cold winter months, dog poop become dormant. Thus, on Spring when dog poop thaws, hazardous parasites and bacteria are unleashed where they can cause harm to the environment, to you and especially to your dog. The most health danger is Giardiasis (Parasitic Diarrhea), which refers to an intestinal infection.
Always be conscientious in picking up your dog’s poop.
It is an all year round responsibility as a dog owner, #ScoopThatPoop
Having Frost Fingers was another excuse for not able to pick up dog’s poop. EarthRated, eco-friendly poop bags developed a special pair of gloves wherein eliminating dog owners of fear taking off their gloves.

I am shocked that people admitted to not cleaning up poop! We saw SO much poop while out walking today- even the dogs were disgusted while stepping around the many plops in the middle of the sidewalk. And it isn’t cold here… 🙁
The other morning, someone stopped to tell HER that SHE was the only one he’d EVER seen pick up poop! We often see it lying around….yuck.
XXXOOO Bella & Roxy
Happy St. Patty’s Day! That poop when the snow melts is so nasty! So much worse than any other time of year!
Luckily our winter has been a very mild one this year. Last year there were so many poops appearing once the snow melted that caused quite a problem for the humans in my village. We dogs found the resniff of these poops pretty interesting which lead to even more problems amongst humans. My Mummy picks up my poop, even in snow, she is fed-up with other humans not taking resposibility for their dog’s poop and hates the non-dog owners who often accuse MOI of doing a poop near their house, which is the size of a cat poop. I am a Golden Retriever, I do retriever size poops… Keep scooping and barking!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day Sugar.
OMDs my dad’s buddy is in your city for a train show he called yesterday. He said it was very very very cold
Tell your Mom my mom likes her gloves
Be sure to wear some green today…I’m wearing my green eyes.
hugs madi your bfff
Mommy picks up our little landmines in our yard two times a day. Glad they don’t freeze solid here in Florida.
Hap-Pee Monday!
Great post Sugar. I think it is disgusting walking along and seeing so many piles of unscooped poop! I mean really, the world is not a bathroom. Ok well maybe for dog pee, but scoop your poop people!!!! Have a good one!

We are lucky here where it doesn’t get that cold. However, there is still a lot of poop left everywhere…

We tend to be back yard poopers here. Bailey will poop outside the yard, Katy refuses. This winter we have played indoors and occasionally out back, but do to the ice, not as many walks. So, even if we weren’t regular baggers, there is little chance for us to have failed.
Our challenge is that they’ve been pooping on top of the snow that is remote. They are light enough that they don’t fall through. Until the snow melts it is impossible to scoop some of the poop they’ve dropped in the yard. It’s going to be quite the spring clean.
Oh my…I cannot believe people actually admitted that they didn’t scoop all winter long!! That is bad, bad, bad! It looks like your mom is enjoying her Earth Rated Frost Fingers gloves, Sugar. So happy they work!
Happy St. Paddy’s Day! (Is your restaurant cooking corned beef and cabbage?!?)

I agree with you. Frozen poop is the worst. And the cold weather is no excuse, it needs just some seconds to remove the mess. To remove it from boots needs more time. Have a wonderful St. Patricks Day.
Lady is dreading the thaw because the snow has been so deep in places, she hasn’t been able to get all the poop in the yard . . . . Wishing you the luck of the Irish today.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Happy St. Patrick’s Day Sugar! Since we don’t get snow, we see piles of poop everywhere. It grosses us out but of course, Bentley wants to try to sniff it. Yuck! That’s certainly not gonna happen! Humans…I just don’t understand them sometimes!
Omigoodness! I must have won a pair of those gloves because they showed up in the mail! I gave them to my mom, since she walks her Honey several times a day and she was ecstatic!
We ALWAYS pick up Maggie’s poop – ALWAYS! Can’t imagine not!!!!
Poop madness is not all that uncommon here!
Luckily this Winter we have no such problem here but we scoop the poop come run, sleet or shine.
Have a marvellous Monday and Happy St Patrick’s Day and may luck be with you.
Best wishes Molly
Those gloves are a great idea. I can’t believe how many people don’t scoop just because it’s cold outside
The only good thing about winter, as Mommy say’s, My Poops freeze on the way down, so are easy to Scoop up, which we always do. Happy Paddy Day Sugar and I love the color of your booties xxxoxxx
Mollie and Alfie
Happy St Paddy’s day!!
Grrrr . . . you know we get mad when we see those poops on the trails! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Your O’Doodle Pals,
McMurphy & McStanley
That is so true. Have a nice day.
Really, the excuse is “it’s cold”. At least the poop is warm. I don’t understand people that refuse to clean up after their pets!
Our back yard needs a good clean up, hopefully da snow will all be gone soon so dad can go on poop patrol!
Happy St. Paddy’s Day sweet Sugar!
Woofs and Licks,
Maggie Mae and Max
