Oh, yes. One more thing.

Apparently this person would be cool with it if I emptied the contents of my *ileostomy* bag in the park. There are no bowel contents involved, since I haven’t *got* a bowel any longer. It’s straight from the small intestine (ileum) to the bag for me.

Not all ostomy bags are used for colostomies.

Carry on.

They don’t come cheap if you have to buy them retail. Depending on size, features and manufacturer, they can cost about 5-10 USD *apiece.*

If you really want some, though, go here and request samples.

I have an ostomy, and I have no freaking idea how or why someone could leave an entire full bag in anyplace like that. Perhaps someone dumped the *contents* of their bag (I have to do this every few hours), but I only change the bag about twice a week unless the seal starts to leak (which only happens once every couple of months). Even so, changing the bag takes a little more planning and equipment than peel-off-the-old-bag-and-slap-a-new-one-on. Even when my wife helps me, it still takes about 5-10 minutes, including getting the gear together and post-change cleanup.

The only thing I can figure is that someone filled an ostomy bag with dog poop and dropped it there. And now that I think of that, I’m going to go do that to my asshole neighbor’s yard.

And people wonder why I’m a dogless catperson. (Yes, “dogless” had to be specified)

I applaud anyone who keeps their cats inside. I just literally rescued a cat who was starving and appeared at my door. I found him a good home after nursing him back to health ($100 in vet bills) and then after feeding him so he doubled his weight I then had him neutered and vaccinated, another $100. The new owners reimbursed me for the second vet trip and I am happy knowing he is indoors and if he gets out, he won’t get sick or make more kittens. I love the “country” but people here are sure stupid about animals.

Dogs are too needy. And they eat this shit.

Good for you for not letting your cat wander around outside alone. Keeps the cat safe and doesn’t bother your neighbors. I am all for more people learning to walk their cats instead of letting them roam.

Yes, I Spy, I walk my cat. One of them, anyway. He likes to go outside but it’s not safe for him. So, over time, we trained him to a harness and leash so he knows that the only way he gets to go outside is on the leash. He actually begs for it now.

Walking a cat is not like walking a dog. You aren’t leading the animal anywhere and he doesn’t have to do “his business”. About the only thing you are doing is keeping him out of trouble. It involves a lot of standing as he marks the same tree over and over and over…..

I think this cat might actually be a dog soul in the wrong body.

yeah, plates of food on low tables are safe (even if we are not home) the trash is safe 99% of the time (she gets the occasional wild hair but it is rare) and my Guinni showed a general aversion to animal droppings (a quick sniff then she would shake her head and walk away). She avoided rolling in stinky things so we were not concerned about her running around my in-laws farm … well it turns out her ONE exception to her anti-poop rule is horse apples. Yeah. Living in the city, this came as a bit of a surprise. I wonder if other well trained dogs who normally don’t roll might not make an exception for colostomy bags, a very unpleasant surprise indeed!

As far as the Dal, corn allergies are pretty common in dogs (esp. highly bred dogs like Dalmatians) and corn is a common filler ingredient in dog foods. If an allergic dog eats a dog food with corn they can get symptoms just like any symptom a person with a food allergy might get if they accidentally ate that food (Restricted breathing, hives, oozing sores, swelling). Training can help but if the dog REALLY LIKES the taste of corn (and it might, despite the allergy) trying to keep the dog away from forbidden kibble is like trying to keep a lactose intolerant 3 year old out of the ice cream at a Dairy Queen birthday party.

Just curious: is an outhouse better than a flushing toilet?

I haven’t used one since my last trip to Belize, but maybe it’s worth diggin’ in my backyard a bit, if I can avoid eye-pinworms.

Man if I had me a supply of full c+bags I’d be tripping over myself to get to the weekly “retailers vs servers “soft ball game. A quick splash of white paint……………….

I would then pray that Danielle is called safe after diving face first into first base.
