Yes, it does - I can vouch for it since Vindy quite often poos it herself. It generally arises when the dog in question has been eating bones. I think giving dogs bones is going out of fashion (most people either don't bother or give store-bought treats instead), so you don't see so much white poo as in days of yore.

Bone-giving is still quite prevalent here in rural parts, though, and Vindy does like a nice bone; and when she has one she shits pearly poop the next day

I always thought that white dog poo was only white because it had baked hard in the sun or had been left for a week or two

i think it must also depend on the type of bone the dog eats. i give my dog bones (ahem), only turkey bones, i think. she gets exicted on a sunday night for this reason, and there is no white stuff involved afterwards.

with myself i find that writing notes helps me 'pass a motion'.

Ah, no, I don't mean piddly little bird bones, I mean thumping great things which the dog has difficulty in dragging around but still somehow manages to actually eat most of.

Vindy is a very detailed bone eater. She concentrates really enjoying it, goes in the zone, and when it's done very little of the bone is left.

My dog gets all odd whenever we give her a bone. Drags it off to some far flung corner of the garden and gnaws and gnaws and gnaws until her gums bleed whilst keeping a suspicious eye out for anyone who may try to nick it. And if you get too close she'll growl at you, which is very unlike her indeed, but is quite amusing

It's the calcium. Like Yak says bone giving is well out of fashion among City dogs.

yeah, gotta have reading material. I hate it when you go round someone's house and there's nothing to read in the bog! What do these people do? Do they just never poo? There should *always* be books and magazines and stuff in the bog. It's *important*.

I've been reduced to reading the nearest shampoo bottle in some houses. Well you gotta read *something*.

I thought I was the only one that had done that! I have even got to know what sort of containers have the most writing on. Aerosol air freshener, in case you were wondering!
