I smiled with all the posts except for yours when I started laughing out loud. We just picked up our new little stud from friends in FL. Her grown son tried to convince us that we really didn't want Buddy because he was a BAD dog, he bites and he eats poop! But he joins us in Ohio with a troop of poop eaters that can scoop it up faster than a blink of the eye. I read somewhere that dogs eat cat poop because the food is not totally digested. I guess that may apply to puppies poop too. Anyway, I'm going to try the meat tenderizer. It just might be an easy solution.
