Poop Poo pe Doo

Last evening we had a poop emergency - why does this stuff always have to happen when dh is gone and I could use an extra set of hands? I had gone to our club to have some Happy Hour with a few friends - when I got back I gave Rooney his dinner and after a bit decided to take him out to do his business. Coming back into the house he was sitting down funny, then he'd sit someplace else but was acting strange about it. I go over to check to see what is wrong and I can smell POOP. I looked at the underside but with all his brown fluffy hair there is nothing I can see so I decide to give it a quick wash. I scrubbed and scrubbed but there was no end to the poo. In the meantime Rooney is looking at me like "did I do something wrong mom?" So now (and maybe this decision was influenced by my Happy Hour) I get the scissors out and I start trying to cut the dingle berries out of his fur. I felt like I got them pretty good and then we did a quick bath on his bottom half. We have never ever had this issue before and I really don't want it to happen again. I'm going to have to clean the carpet - it doesn't show any poo but I know that those bad dingles were on it. I hate to see the hack job I did with the scissors - think I'll be calling his groomer and get her over here for a hiney trim. I love how Rooney little butt looks like a bear cub, see photo below that I just took last week, but I'm afraid it won't be this cute once we get it cut. What do you do about long hair and dingle berries?

LOL.. I was sayin'... BOY THIS girl is GOOD! Tori just went today for her grooming... I have been so bad with her brushing since the 'big snow'... She was so matted and every time I came near her with a brush she'd get the zoomies. I'll tell you tho' my groomer works miracles... she's just the greatest! She had to trim her butt down due to matting, and I didn't even think she was matted there...She was there for about 6 hours, but what a wonderful job she did! You can't even see where she had to use a buzzer to shave out her matts... her hair is still long and flowing... I, like you, LOVE it that way!

Happy Hour was so much fun last night!! I laughed so hard my sides hurt... Jack had the brown berry balls hanging from him a few times. I hate them so much that I now keep him in a sanitary cut. I just refuse to wipe his hiney when he poops. It is bad enough I am brushing his teeth daily to two times a day and then having to wash the toothpaste off his face..

I don't think Jack minds going bare hard wood floors as opposed to carpets in his hiney, and if he does he needs to learn to wipe his butt better!!!
