question for daperdawg

[groomergrl]

(You mentioned in a previous post and I just HAVE to clarify)...Your co-workers pick up poop with their BARE HANDS?

[DAPER DAWG]

They use paper towel but not plastic and no gloves so often something gets through. Papers not safe enough. Even when I'm washing a dog and I get a little on my hand by accident I run around screaming and sanitizing for half-an-hour Ewwwww.... poop on my finger. There are so..... many diseases and parasites you can acquire and/or pass on to your own pets if not careful

I always use paper towel covered by a plastic bag. I don't want to take any chances with my dogs or other clients dogs.

I have to admit that unless it is a very soft and nasty one, I will normally just clean up w/paper towels and wash up afterward. Sorry if you think I am horribly discusting, I have always just done it like this and have never suffered any ill effects.

[rapuzzled]

I always just use paper towels too, then wash...I've never gotten it on my hands. It's a pain in the butt to get a bag, lol...paper towels are so much easier!

[hairdevil]

I use those clorox wet pop ups for that...and to use in the cage to clean up, its so handy...but be sure the cage is dry before putting your dog back in it, dont want to get clorox on their lil paws

[DAPER DAWG]

not me I gotta have gloves maybe it's because I took the veterinary assistant course and learned about all the diseases and parasites really grossed me out.

I also just use paper towels and just wash up afterwards. Too many years of cleaning up after litters of poopy puppies, poopy kids, poopy horses, poopy cows, and 10,000 poopy chickens. A little dog poop just doesn't get my nickers in a twist anymore.

I use the Lysol wet ones too then. It can get expensive though. I just love the convience. Plus I was my hands afterwards.

[Mary1980]

*wash sorry glasses not fixed yet.

[Arrooh]

Yeah if you raised kids or litters

you go, Oh well. And wash of course, but oh well. I knew an American Indian Native who went barefoot out in the cow pasture, cause she then didn't have to wash and clean boots, her feet were easier to wash. I didn't follow suit though.

Arrooh, your post reminds me of an incident that happened when my oldest daughter was about 4. She was playing outside in her wading pool and managed to step barefoot in dog poo. She was sure she was going to die.

It took me a few minutes to calm her down, wash her feet, and assure her that she wasn't doomed. I had to tell her of the many times I stepped barefoot in cow poo, horse poo, dog poo, and lived long enough to become her Mom before she got it.

[sheilabgroomer]

Not only is that a lot of bird, that is a lot of bird shi*....lol... Loved the story Helly, my youngest daughter is quite the princess (can't believe she's mine..lol). She acts the same way when she gets something gross on her. And boy plug your ears if she sees a little spider she has a shriek that could melt teeth!!!

[puppyluv]

I am guilty too! After being a mom, and house training puppies, poop is just poop! I use a bag or towels, and just wash up after!
