Yes, once. I was taking Tatiana out for a walk in a commercial area. We were walking across a driveway of a BUSY multi-level, parking structure. Cars were constantly coming in, and going out. Finally, cars yielded for us to walk across the driveway, so we walked. In the MIDDLE of the driveway, Tatiana SQUATS AND POOPS. She's a tiny, 3-lbs dog, squatting and pooping in the middle of a busy driveway, with cars WAITING on both sides (to drive out, and come-in). There was an audience on BOTH SIDES. I was beyond embarrassed. I waved in apology. After Tatiana pooped, I picked up the poop with a potty bag, as everybody watched. So embarrassing. After all that, I scooped up Tatiana, and ran out of there.

Oh, dogs! Don't they humble us sometimes?!?!?!

Lol, tears are rolling down my cheeks... It's somewhat a relief to know that Yazmin's not the only public pooper! :eek: She never fails to poop in every Petsmart, Petco, Petsupplies Plus store with no warning! I won't even consider putting her down in the quaint little high-end PetsPajamas store. It's always crowded and I'm afraid she would poop on someone's foot in a heart beat! We never leave home without a poo bag in hand! :thumbup:

lol This is all so funny. The only time Ahi has pooped inconveniently for me is when I was dropping off my youngest dd to school. We were running a little late and was jogging to my dds class to try and make it before the tardy bell rang. In the middle of a hundred kids running to class she tugs back on her leash and we look down to see her in poop position. She then plops one out...I'm looking all around at everyone staring at this "cute" little Yorkie and her mama with no poop bag. I had to dig in my dds backpack, rip a page out of her composition book pick, pick it up and throw it in the garbage can. Lol :D

I also have a wisenhimer when it comes to pooping.....We have a very large yard but "someone" seems to think it's funny to poop on the deck! Anytime I see that tootsie roll laying there, baking in the sun, I know immediately who it was...Jaaaaake! This it not a poop deck!!

"....tootsie roll...."

ROTFL!!!!!!!

Yes! :)

Tibbe eavesdrops? Only a yorkie! LOL, I'm dying over here!

:eyetearss:eyetearss:eyetearss I would have loved to see the expression on the guard's face!

Seriously, this whole thread has me cracking up! Especially because I took Mojo to get his nails trimmed yesterday & the first thing he does when we walk in is poop!

I know exactly what you mean! :D

And I'd actually used the poop bag in my pocket, for the 'outside one'!!! So there I was, in Pets at Home, pin-pointing in my mind the poop place - and then running, hauling Harry along, to the bit where they keep the bags! :eek: Somebody was actually POINTING at me....:D Sally + Harry x

This thread is too funny :) I thought that it was just Chloe who pooped almost every time we go to petsmart lol. I assumed that it was a combination of excitment and the smell of other dogs past poops. All I can say it thank goodness there are oops stations at Petsmart and that its not just Chloe!

Peek A Boo poops outside all the time. But the poops stick to his hair and don't drop off till he's back in the house! Just can't win!:D

Yes, so embarrassing!

I took him into our local flower/home/garden place and within 5 mins of being in there, he squatted on the floor and pooped. Ugh so embarrasing... of course I picked it up and threw it away but I still felt like people were watching.

He has done it once in a pet store also but that's not as embarrassing to me, since it IS a pet store... haha

Oh yes and he very much enjoys to poo on the cement around my dads pool. :rolleyes: oh well at least it makes it easy to clean up...

Ok. So here's a bit of a story (and a source of contention between me and dh)

I primarily work from home, so the dogs have inherently become my responsibility. Issy is a mere 5 months old and, I'm convinced, about as smart as robbing a police station. Potty training has become a nightmare. In fact, it's the book that nightmares are usually derived from.

So "No No" likes to eat stuff. Anything. Doesn't have to be food. Heck, it doesn't even have to taste good. As long as it's off limits, she'll "hoove" it off the floor, ground, sidewalk...what have you. I should have have named her Hoover. Now imagine if you will, me constantly chasing after her to retrieve whatever it is she's found and you got yourself a new Olympic sport that rivals the physical demands of any triathlon I've ever witnessed. The whole event is much like a track and field event and by the end, I'm usually ready for a nap. I swear, I'm getting old.

Compound that with the idea that she's taken with the notion of shredding the pee pad in micron size pieces. This, of course, only happens when I'm not looking and always after Gabby has used it. It almost feels like she's trying to get rid of evidence of the event ever happening, even though, I've explained that it's perfectly ok to pee "there".

So 2 days ago, I get up in the morning and once again, proceed with what has becomes my daily task of cleaning out, vacuuming up and wiping down the ex pen. I have plastic on the bottom to protect the floor. Initially, the idea was to take it up and toss it when it's reached it's life expectancy. This, of course has grown from once every 2 weeks to several times a day. Somehow, Issy manages to pull up the "floor" and chew on it, which, eliminates the idea of it's protective qualities. Remember when I said it didn't have to be food? Yeah. That.

Now the ex pen is a place I put the girls when I simply cannot be directly on top of them. It's adequately furnished with a bed, bowls, a pee pad and no less than 5 toys that are rotated daily to combat a possibility of boredom. The amount of time they spend in there is never extended beyond a few hours and the occasions are as few as possible.

back to the point...

Later that afternoon, I came through the diningroom to once again discover Hurricane Issy. Again, the pee pad is shredded, the stuffing ripped out of a baby and she's sitting there with a seemingly innocent look on her face as though she had no idea what she did. I might add, she likes to pee next to the pee pad, not on it. So here we go again.... clean out, wipe down, vacuum up. *sigh*

I bring her outside to play. In the space of 30 minutes, "Hoover" has sucked up 7 different things, that I had to retrieve. Leaves, sticks, globs of dirt and god knows what else. I swear I saw her consume at least 3 ants. Honest to god, I do feed this dog an adequate, balanced diet. The ant, I could probably toss into the 'protein' category.

I gotta step out. So I place the dogs in their freshly cleaned (for the second time that day) ex pen, and leave for a few hours. Upon my return, I was met with perhaps the foulest, most heinous mess I've ever witnessed. The pee pad was shredded, the 'floor' chewed, there was poo from one end to the other, upon both dogs bed, the plastic panels of the pen, all 5 toys and poor Gabby was sporting a skunk style streak of poo straight down her spine. In fact, it appeared as though Issy had picked little Gabs up and wiped her butt with her. Issy, once again, sat there with a seemingly innocent look.

So to answer your question...
Yes. Yes she has poo'd in inappropriate places. Oh yes she has!

Someone explain to me what the heck I was thinking when I decided to get another puppy!?

my boy is 10 months( unaltered) and would never mark or number 2 in the house, but the first chance he gets to mark or poop in petsmart...its on. It's like he saves it up just for the occasion. He looks really happy too!

thank you for that... i feel lucky now
