Poo is one of the most popular reasons the public find my site, so I thought I would give you a bit more of an insight.
Today I strolled down the wintry waters of Leith – a fairly pleasant experience might I add.
You see old jack frost has the ability of freezing dog toffee thus reducing the possibility of any shoe embarrassment in the office.
“What’s that on your shoe???”
“Just mud, it’s really muddy out there. NO! Don’t come any closer!!!”
With these worries to the back of my mind I can concentrate on looking at things whilst walking.
Walls.
Sky.
River.
Rubbish.
Vagabonds.
Winter has a calming effect WithWood, but wait, what’s this?
A bag of toffees thrown on the floor. Somebody went to the effort of bagging up the dog disaster and putting back on the floor, I’m not sure – but this might be even worse.
It’ll probably take ages to freeze in a bag and can also double up as a missile for the youth of today.
It seems to be a common problem. Don’t do it!!! I am always watching you, I will name and shame you eventually.

Do you know Telford Subway that links Dalry to Fountain Bridge?
I think people take their dogs here to poo on purpose. The place is a bloody minefield. I once dropped my bottle of juice and it rolled into some old poo – and there was still half of it left. The juice, not the poo.

The great thing about fresh dog poo in winter is that it gives off a warning sign in the form of steam. Rather like an Indian smoke signal.
Unfortunately it stops doing so in between the stages of quite warm and frozen.

This seems like quite a mission to go see some tunnel poo – you should go on a reconnaissance mission for me. Take some snaps. The world needs to know where not to go.
Where had the other half of old poo gone? Shoed no doubt.

When it stops steaming it must be cold and frozen? Then it could be stood upon without fear of squish (unless semi-frozen), not sure about this really – I ain’t no scientist.

Where I come from there are many stray dogs but I have noticed that there is hardly any poo, this has puzzled me for some time as you would think the more dogs the more poo, or dog toffee as you call it. But this just is’nt the case, the ratio between number of poos and number of dogs is very low and perhaps not correlated at all?! Where do they all poo?

I think you will find that dogs outside of UK rather like the taste of dog toffee. Most UK dogs are too well fed to bother.

Is that a fact William Deed?

I’m sorry, I don’t know you very well but I think you are wrong, dogs do not eat there own poo, there are also alots of pigs hagging around the streets so I think maybe its them, but definately not the dogs themselves.

Dogs do not eat their own poo. But they DO eat other dogs poo. Fact.

ps in response to krishna’s question regarding dog toffee, i’m guessing that the only reason dogs poo on pavements is coz owners make them walk on pavements. given choice, a free dog would prefer a nice hedge. and a good supply of Andrex

A popular thread indeed, I must write more on this topic.
