The gorgeous, post-rain morning started with my dog eating poop.
It’s a habit I’m guessing he picked up when he was a starving stray before I adopted him.
He’s also eaten rocks, raw chicken he stole from the countertop and a pair of my walking shoes in revenge.
The rock ingestion led to stomach surgery.
I thought he had gotten over the poop-eating habit, technically called Coprophagia, but I once again had to intervene.
My solution is to pick it up immediately before he has a chance to think about dining on it.
Another solution is a food additive, sold at pet stores, that supposedly makes the poo taste so horrible even the dog won’t eat it. I’ve never tried it but have seen others buying it.
