So yesterday morning I woke to Boone having gone #2 in his crate. Thankfully unlike in his younger years he hadn't smeared it everywhere, he was tucked up to the back of his crate and the deed was at the front. Awesome! So I open the door and assume like most other dogs he'll avoid standing in it as he gets out. Wrong, the little twerp steps in it twice and then tracks it all over the house while I'm trying to get him to stop and stand still. Finally grabbed him and tossed him outside, cleaned up the mess, tossed his bedding in the washer and with him in tow headed to work where he received a bath as he still had some stuck to his paws. In the early hours of this morning while I was still awake because the foster cat, Charlie decided to pee all over the bed so I had to stay up and wash the bedding Boone had some diarrhea. So I think I'll hold off on his breakfast and depending on how everything looks later in the day possibly his supper.
Had a couple of days with BEAUTIFUL weather. Just wonderful, I was driving with my windows down much to Boone's joy. Of course those were the days I worked and therefore I never really got to enjoy them today it's -5C. Not super cold but cold enough that I'm uncomfortable, the sun is out and makes it look warmer then it is until you open the door and it hits you. I was thinking I should take Boone out somewhere today and let him have some fun, maybe to Toto park? We haven't been there since the summer. I just hate going there when there are a group of other people, Boone is fine these days with it but I just don't want to mingle and be bothered. I'd rather plod around and play with Boone without being disturbed. What are the chances that since its a Wednesday, -5C and winter that there will be people out there?

You'd be surprised...-5C isn't really THAT cold. It's what it gets when it gets below -9C when people really start holing up, popping out occasionally to play fetch or do a quick "Let's walk but make it fast and short because it's farking colllld."
When I was dogsitting a Dachsie, I had an adventure remotely similar to yours: he'd pooped in the crate...and here our adventures differ! The dog decided to clean it up for me by eating it, and then when I got home and let hom out of the crate, he was indicating that he needed to go outside, but before we could make it, he retched on the carpet...and out came digested poo and other stomach contents. He was able to get rid of the rest of it outside, but the majority of it was right in front of the door and I hope I never have to clean up such a horrific mix again...
He had a serious sore tummy that night.
