The first thing you need to know is Miss Anna Banana has a habit of grabbing something to put in her mouth and prances with it.  She does this when she's happy especially - like when you first come home, or when you're letting her outside, and sometimes she drags a toy from outside in with her.

The second thing you need to know is that is minus 19 celcius here today.

So I let her in the house and she has something in her mouth.  I'm cooking supper so don't pay much attention - just tell her to lay down.  On the carpet.  In the living room.

When I finally get around to looking at what she has, I notice it and ok EWWWW  :o  :o

yep.....frozen poop.

Yick yuck ick!!!

I did great joy out of telling my hubby about it.  Over supper. hehehe

Yuk!
Reminds me of our family's dog, Tasha (Samoyd), from when I was in grade school. She always carried around a knotted sock for tug-a-war.  One "night" (in the backyard) our friend grabbed it from her to play and thought it felt quite odd... she held it up in the light and saw that it was a dead, skinned baby opposum.  Yuk x3!!!!!

Iwwww (is that how you spell that?)

Stoli my springer spaniel had something in her mouth once I thought it was a stick until I got closer and it was a bunny leg!  So gross I screamed for a good 10 minutes - wouldn't let her kiss me for weeks. And getting it away from her wasn't pretty.

Ewww.....so I'm guessing you didn't keep it for good luck??? lol

These pups are cute but they do some gross things!!!  Hubby wouldn't let Ms. Banana give him any kisses this morning...hehe .  Now I'm wondering what would have been more fun (aka evil)....to have told or not told?  ;D

So...here's the not so funny part.  After the poopsicle treats (which by the way, she convinced Sheba were awesome to eat so I had BOTH of them snacking their way through the back yard...prompti ng me to say to my husband "go clean up the da*n poop!!!") ... sorry I digressed there...

after her snackfest, she wouldn't eat her own food the next day.  We had to really cajole her to eat both in the morning and evening.  In fact, in the evening, she really didn't eat.  So the next morning we didn't feed her breakfast, and yet she still didn't pounce on her food as usual that evening.

I called the vet, explained about the poopfest and the now failure to eat.  She said that although we humans don't like it, dogs will eat poop.  The only concern is that sometimes they pick up parasites from the poop, and that we should watch her carefully.

Thankfully her appetite was back by the next day - but it is indeed something to be aware of I guess!

No more poopsicles for my girlies .... thankfully.  Now I don't mind getting the morning kisses from them...lol

Heheheee "poopsicles" I like that!  Parasites in poops are so bad!  I'm constantly finding Koby eating Raccoon or Rabitt poos and I'm so afraid he's going to get sick, although he hasn't yet (knock on wood)!  I'm glad your girls are fine and that their appetites came back.

When Bubba was young he kept reinfecting himself with tapeworm and picked up hookworm from eating poop. The bacteria too was a concern of mine. He too would go off his food for a day afterwards.

Now Lola is a poop eater.. fresh or frozen she doesn't care. The last straw for me was when she ate a huge pile of Bubba's poop and proceded to puke it up all over my carpet. YUCK! So when she's outside now, I'm outside. Which is a gigantic pain in the butt but this way I can correct her whenever she attempts to pick any up. So far so good. She sneeks some here and there because she's faster than me. LOL
