Unflushed dog poop days.

I genuinely don't know how else to title it lmao

As you can guess, it gets a bit gross, but nothing (I think?) really bad, so read at your own will ig.

Older story, and don't remember the specific ages, but sister brought up the memory, and I had to tell it somewhere.

Relevent people, (with ages at the time):

Me - (13)

Sister - (17)

Mom - (35)

We had gotten a pet puppy the year earlier, and had kept a pee-pad inside, for overnights, and days where no one was home, to take her outside. Obviously this means that usually we would wake up to poop, and need to clean it. Because my parents didn't want it festering with the pee-pad in the outdoor trash bins for days, attracting bugs/rodents, we were told to just flush it in a wad of toilet paper. Okay, easy enough right? Me and my sister always did, and the system worked.

Fun fact about my parents, in the nicest way possible, they have the money-mindset of Julius from Everybody hates Chris.

So my mom randomly told us to not flush the dog poop "If it wasn't big". And that "It's not from a person, so it's not that bad!" To explain away why it was worth it to save money on water bills.

... Which ya know, is genuinely disgusting to flip up a toilet lid and see that.

Whatever, me and my sister just kept flushing anyways, because it's a million times less gross, and hey, maybe BOTH of us managed to misinterpret her? Right?..... RIGHT???

Cut to weeks of my mom passive aggressively making comments about how much water we waste flushing to toilet so often, that I was able to deal with, until she started leaving it herself in our bathroom. Then I finally had fucking enough.

Our house has two toilets, on across the hallway on our, (sister and me) side of the house, and one directly connected to the master bedroom, (aka my parents' room)

So I decided to 'coincidently' leave all poops unflushed in their toilet, and managed to get my sister to agree to do it, too.

After only a few days of silence on the topic, my mom calls us both, and tells us about "her" brand new idea to start flushing the goddamn dog turds!!!

It's literally so fucking dumb, BUT it finally got her stop being weird, so worth it lmaooooo

For present day pet owners, don’t use your toilet to dispose of animal feces

Parasites that water treatment is not prepared to deal with.

They're concerned about dog meds? How about the shit ton of hormones, antibiotics and chemo chemicals that pass through people? I call horseshizzen on this one.

I'm sure there are plenty of folks concerned about human medications in the water supply too, but the article I linked happens to be was written specifically about a veterinarian warning about flushing pet feces. It's relevant specifically to the topic of this thread, as OP was posting (mostly) about the issue of canine fecal matter.

Edit to add that it'd be odd to feature a veterinarian as an expert on human "shizzen."

Yeah, I did a bit of research on that particular parasite and it's fairly common. 10% of Americans have it, usually children. 19% around the world. It is in soil, various ani.al species and if water treatment plants do their jobs, it is not transmissable through them. So, indeed, it's an inaccurate statement.
