Well first, tee hee! Your wording made me giggle! I so know the feeling! Katie Scarlett tends to have those 'flayaway poops' stuck to her fur from time to time. We call them 'dingleberries.' Well my husband coined that term. LOL. Anyways, I have noticed they get worse when it comes time for a grooming where her hair is longer. I try to keep it trimmed back there as long as I can. But she too will sometimes run off before she is done. It's like she doesn't have the patience to 'finish.'
I haven't scolded KS either. I didn't want her to think I did not want her pooping on the pads.
As for her hiding from it, I have no idea. I think it's cute that she covers it up. It's like she is being polite! How sweet! She sounds like she likes things clean and tidy! I hope a fellow YT'er can help more than I.
