Mady's perfect timing...

We drove up to the Canadian nationals last Friday, Mady had had an enormous amount of grooming and primping done the days before, including an exhaustive bath and grooming at Carl's the night before. Mady wasn't showing of course, but I still had to make sure she looked her best, especially for seeing Amber again. And she did, she was stunning. About 30 minutes from the hotel, we stopped to get some drinks and give Mady a little break. She peed, she walked around, and then tried to poop. Nothing hit the ground... "OH GOD NO!" :twitch: I screamed in my head. She did poop, just none of it hit the ground... she had this big massive ball of soft poop just sitting in her fuzzy bum. We tried our best to get some of it off with baby wipes, but it was still disaster. Poop all over her bum. :headbang: :headbang: I had had images of walking into the hotel, a lot of other sheepdogs and their owners around too, and beautiful Mady looking so good (I know, I'm so vain :oops: ). But now... I was thinking how can we sneak her into our room, and right in the tub? :lmt: :sidestep:

Mady has great timing, I'll give her that. :roll:

David, that has happened to probably everyone of us on here. I always try to check to be sure Jenny has "easy exit" to the ground. Only on this site can we talk about stuff like this and no one thinks we are weird.
He actually made me go in the hotel on my own, check in, go to the room, then open the patio door so that he and Mady could skulk through the darkness into the room before anyone saw.
Yep, been there, done that. Once

After "the" bath and cleaning off poopy butt, I vowed it would NEVER happen again. I make a nice easy exit. When they get groomed I always tell the groomer to cut that area short. In between I always keep the scissors handy. Not a fun project cleaning and picking poop out of big fuzzy butt.

Yep, only here can we talk about this and give ideas on how to clean and trim so it doesn't happen again.
It probably was a little sticky and softer from all the grooming and excitement and travelling.

Love the sneaky entry to save face...er save butt??? :sidestep:
That must have been the mother of all dingleberries!!!!!!

As Oscar pretty much had diarrhea from 10 weeks old to 11 months old, I know your pain. I washed his butt at least twice a day. I am now an EXPERT on how to remove fecal matter from a sheepdog's rear.

:headbang: Oh, Mady, Mady, I guess this is something the most of us sheepiepeople just have to live through.
All this fur keeping hold of the loose stuff.
Perfect timing :twitch: :excited: indeed. :sidestep:
