Duneraider Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) "Ya can't reason with drunks or dog owners" I was told by a LEO once. That's so true. We camped with one group at Buttercup, and one of the rigs had 3 dogs running loose around the campsite. One of their dogs poop'd like a horse as it walked. It poop'd all day and nite long all over the campsite, along with the other two dogs. They pooped in front of everyones RV, all around the group campfire, all around everyones camp chairs, pee'd on the tires of everyones quads and buggies and RV's, everywhere. And they had that thick brown custard like infection pee that stunk even in the cold of the desert. Stuck to everything like pancake syrup with bloody scabs floating in it. Everyones kids stepping in the poop and tracking it in, riding their quads over poop,, can't sit next to the campfire because it's covered in poop. Everyone was walking around like the camp had landmines. The Dog owner or his family made no effort to stop it or clean it up. They also had another dog attacking others dogs who were tied up and kept under control and cleaned up after. Everyone just put up with it so's to not create any friction on their holiday at the dunes. Or they were his dog owning friends and would defend him no matter what, too drunk to realize they've been slimed by his dogs too. Finally on the last day (5 days later), the dogs owner walked around with a shovel waving it around so everyone could see., not to really clean up the poop, by to make it look like he was. Like an anorexic chick walks around the party with a heaping plate of food, but never takes a bite. We got some e mails asking why we don't camp with that group anymore, and we just say we prefer to camp alone. Why create a feud? Ya can't reason with dog owners. We have no enemies at the dunes (or river), and we simply move to keep it that way. I watch neighbors that live blocks from me walk their dog down our street, They never clean it up. We askd one lady about it and she returned with her husband to show us she had muscle back home. At the river, rarely someone will clean up after their dog either. So bad are the dog owners at the Colorado river campsites, the awesome Fox's Pierpoint campground (owned by Off road racing champ Spencer Lowe) banned dogs altogether. There was dog crap around the nice grassy eating area at his restaurant, on the pathway to the dock, all over the beach and campsites,, so that was it, no more dogs. Do you clean up after your pet? Not just make it look like you do, but get right out and clean right up after them? Edited August 22, 2007 by Duneraider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I have a whole drawer full of plastic bags and when we take the dog out wether at the dunes or for a walk we pick up after her. Only place we don't is if we are in the middle of a vacant lot. I hate stepping in it and I don't think burying it at the dunes is the answer either as the next weekend your little ones may be digging in the same area. It's not such a big deal to pick up after them after all it's your dog and you brought him and the food so it's Pack it in Pack it out!

desertskyz Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I don't take my dogs. They are to big of a pain in the arce. We visited a camp once where the dogs damn near out numbered the people. I don't think is a good idea to take them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90+ PLUS Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) i just kick some sand over the poop and walk away . just kidding i dont have any pets Edited August 19, 2007 by tanner54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinicolady Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I wouldn't put that wager on us! We bring our Lab with us every trip AND clean up after her. Hubby takes her out every a.m. with shovel in hand and the kids have poop duty the rest of the day. Those in our group that bring their dogs also clean up after them. I do not want our quads rollin' thru it or anyone tracking it into the hauler, that's just plain GROSS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sand chick Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 We take both our dogs with us. And YES I clean up after them EVERYTIME!! The older one won't even poop in camp. There's nothing worse then running over poop with your quad!! Especially if its fresh!! I bring a bag with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvdunes Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 We take our dog and so does everyone else we camp with. I bring the veggie bags from the grocery store for her poop pick it up right away, she is not a little dog. The kids let us know right away when one of the dogs goes. We do let her run around camp but she would not hurt anyone or another dog she is a big sissy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielle Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 We can't let our dogs run around camp as Thor the pug likes to chase bikes so they are alway's tied on a leash.And if he get's loose than youn really can see the circus in action trying to catch the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvdunes Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 My son's dog runs away all of the time and we are always trying to track her down. She is usually in other peoples camp. The little kids let her off of her chain so she can play crazy kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyHour Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I have a little Silky Terrier and I take him out every morning like clockwork afetr he is done with his morning eats. I clean up after him EVERYTIME, no matter where we are camping. The beach, the mountains, any RV resort, and yes, even the dunes. It has just become habit after all this time. Besides the fact that it is completely gross stepping in it........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~JILL~ Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Yes POOTER"S poo gets picked up every time and hubby even kicks sand over her pee spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cheese Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 my dogs are leashed @ my hauler when I cannot personally watch them. when they drop anchor.......I pick it up with a shovel immediately and put it in the trash can. I only take them off the leash to go to the bathroom, to sit next to me next to the campfire, or to go in the hauler for the night. i am with you on what you say.... i hate dog owners who think it is alright for their dogs to poop and pee everywhere and on everything......it's wrong. you can solve that by pissing on the dog owners tow rigs hood....

johnny'sgirl32 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 this is a good subject, i have one dog and she is a good camper, she holds it and if she does happen to go we scoop it up. but the running around camp thing drives me crazy, my dog is always on her cable and theres nothing worse then a free roaming dog that comes over to your area and either starts a fight or pissess or poops. i just had that situation happen when we were camping in cal city. i was out numbered i was the only one with my dog tied up it was crazy! we ended up having to move!

RAPTORCOWGIRL Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) We always take our dogs with us to the dunes. They are kept on thier tie outs or in the motorhome I have to agree nothing worse than dogs running around camp. We always take baggies and pick up the poop.

Tracie515 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I agree on not letting the dogs roam. Nothing more irritating then someone elses dog trying to steal your food from the trashbag or bbq even. We don't take out dog with us to the dunes cause i am to busy taking care of my 3 kids to worry about a dog LOL We do take him to the river with us, we stay at rainbow beach and hubby cleans up after him. He is almost alwayes on a leash. The dog not the hubby. LMAO CAN:T WAIT FOR HALLOWEEN!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
