I’ve always thought peeing was a territory marking thing. But, we seem to have a poop war, heading towards poop armageddon, going on in our driveway.
Drive is 700 feet long and no domestic animals come here, except our two dogs. We walk down the drive every morning, with dogs, to deliver DS to the school bus.
EVERY day there is new, wild, poop on the drive, in increasingly creative places…bear and coyote mostly. Then, our dogs have to poop right near the bear and coyote poop. It’s like a minefield out there until I get out a shovel ;).
What IS this about? Do animals mark with poop? It’s a constant game of “oneupsmanship”. It’s pretty entertaining, but very messy. Why the driveway? There is lots of land on both sides, suitable for doing business, why the paved drive?
