Dogs like stinky ... the more stinky the better! My Dexter rolled around on a dead fish once! EEEWWWW

Just a word of caution! Bird poop is FULL of bacteria. We have an inground pool and every year when we first open it, the water is brown and disgusting, the ducks land in it to swim bc they think it's a pond. Well they hang out in the pool area and poop on the ground. One year both my dogs were horribly sick. Throwing up, massive amounts of bloody diarrhea, etc.... took them to the vets and they asked if they were around or near birds or could have eaten their poop. I remembered the ducks and thought maybe but I didn't see it happen. The vet told me that ingesting bird poop is bad for them, very bad! They were both on antibiotics for 10 days, both were really very sick! Poor babies! Don't let your pups near the duck poop, better safe than sorry!
