Friday Poopy.

By Matt Baumgartner   Add comments

I have a special request for all you dog owners out there…The pooping dog.

I’d like to do a Friday Puppy edition called “Friday Poopy” that consists of photos of your dogs taking a shit.

Wipe that look off your face.

First of all, there are fewer things funnier than the position a dog has to get itself in when taking a shit (by the way, I refuse to use any other sort of junior high school term for “taking a shit”.  I’ve never found that kind of humor funny…. except in the case of “Friday Poopy“.  that’s just plain cute).

… and secondly, one of the weird rules they had at the Times Union was that I was not allowed to post photos of dog poop.   I mean, for the Friday Poopy edition, I’m not really looking for a graphic shot, but rather just your dog in the #2 position.   Ka peesh?

It might take a few weeks to put this edition together, but whoever wins this contest will win a $50 Gift Certificate to an online pet store (to be determined… I need to go ask a store to donate the GC to this contest… If  not, I’ll just buy it myself for the winner.  But I figured it should be an online store so people who don’t live in the 518 can participate.)

Anyway, to submit a photo of your dog for the Friday Poopy edition, please send photo to FridayPuppy@gmail.com or click on the Submit Photo image in the upper right of the website.

Thank you for your time.  Carry on.

    and this is another example of why I love Friday Puppy.

    Holy out-of-leftfield! I love it!
    The way their tails point all straight when they’re taking a shit? It’s like God’s way of making you giggle so it’s not so bad when you have to pick up five seconds later! =)

    where do you get these ideas?!

  4. Chris V says:

    Ummm… no. Not sure why this interests you.

  5. Great, forever I will remember, “how did Matt celebrate my birthday? By asking people to send him pictures of their dog shitting”, thanks Matt. Do your own countdown, TOC is retired; and really I don’t give a ……..well you know.

    Damn wish I knew when I was home, my parents have a Pomeranian and it’s hilarious when it poops, he’s so little and always shakes when going.

    OMG – i love it!!! will start watching the pups closer when they go out now, and will definitely have the camera in hand.

    True confessions:

    It is a MISSION for me to take pics of our dogs doing their #1s or #2s and sending the pics to the wife.
    Nothing’s funnier than a dog dropping a dook-log whilst hovering/levitating on his two front paws.

    What can I say. We have problems.

    mmmmm soft serve.

  9. Christine says:

    Oh man, i cant wait to hear what the neighbors say when they see me in the backyard trying to get this pic! LMAO

  10. Julie says:

    Your post reminded me of this website.

    Hysterical!

    TOC, you CANNOT bail on us now !!!

  12. Maureen says:

    When my dog was alive and we’d walk her at night, down the block to the empty lot (called poop heaven cause that’s where all the dogs went and there was plenty of sniffing going on) she wouldn’t start pooping until a car came by. It was as if the lights on the car made her get all set so someone with their headlights on could spot her. We still laugh at that, and miss our walks to poop heaven.

  13. CSSM says:

    This idea stinks!

  14. lealorali says:

    I CANNOT wait for this.

  15. CSSM says:

    It’s poo poo I tell ya! Pure poo poo!

    Samdawg always looks around to make sure nobody’s watching him so getting a picture is probably out of the question……..
    Pupparazzi!!!!

    You’re so gross. Way back in ’09, the one and only time I deleted anything from your site was when you posted a photo of a steamin’ pile of dog crap. I still have nightmares.

  17. carolyn says:

    Love it. My dogs crack me up when they’re going… they always looks so embarrassed if I look them in the eye. And like Christine said, I wonder what my neighbors will think…

  18. Briana says:

    oh my gosh, stop it now. this is HILARIOUS!

  19. Edna says:

    Matt,I luv your blog but this one makes me throw up.

  20. @#12, Kim S just for you…….
    I’ll be over at the 5000th Comment – Panama winner post area. But it will be my last time; for real this time.

  21. My name is not Jenna says:

    My old roommates dog spins in circles before squatting to go poop while having a look of shame on her face!! It was too funny!

  22. -S says:

    Gotta find a dog that is not self-conscious enough that I can take a photo without feeling too bad about it.

  23. Hopeful says:

    Are you kidding me? I’d really hate it if the big winner of your trip was a blogger about dog shit.

  24. Gina says:

    Love the idea!

  25. Erin Brooke says:

    ewwww matt!!!! lololol

    my boy dog, tucker eats his own poop….one day he watched his sister, sadie poop and after she was done, he went over and ate it.

    EW!

  26. Benji says:

    Wow, just wow. :-)

  27. mandi says:

    lmao that is a very hilarious idea!! Im not sure what else to say other than my boyfriend just decided he will most def. get a pic of our dog for Friday Poopy. lol…

  28. Six says:

    @MikeHuber: what if instead of deleting, you had mosaic’ed the whole thing? Artistic blur maybe? Not for anonymity purposes :)

  29. BARV says:

    Talk about playling catch with your canine ~ I have a friend that had a female dog that had worms, so he had to chase her around with a bag at her butt to catch her poop to bring it to the vets. The vet didn’t want the poop touching the ground ~ I think he pulled a fast one on my friend!

  30. Mike Huber says:

    @Six. You’re suggesting I should have photoshopped the dog poop pic? Ugggh. It was too nasty to touch (up). Here’s a link to that post. Maybe it’ll bring back memories: http://blog.timesunion.com/baumgartner/dog-poop/208/
    Matt wouldn’t dare do something so bizarre here. I’m telling ya it was foul, and I see my share of doggie discards when walking my pup 2x/day.

  31. @Mike Huber, me thinks he doth protest too much………
