My old fat dog, has developed this weird desire lately. Only in the last year, and she is probably 12 now. Anytime she gets out into the front yard, even if it only for a minute, she has to take a shit. All dogs have a need to go and mark pee, and I know there is something to them marking with feces too, but she wouldn't shit in the front yard sometimes, when I was seeding the grass in the back, and it was the only place she could go. Like she was embarrassed, or had stage fright.
Now, she bee lines for the corner of the sidewalk, right by the walk to the house, and shits right there. Every fucking time. I dont get it.
Last Friday, my neighbor came by, for something, and I had the old hag out there a few minutes before. I saw him out front trying to clean his shoe off in the grass. She got him, and I didnt feel bad, cause "Well, why the fuck are you cutting through the grass Wally?"
