Well, anyway, I installed one on Monday. It's a little bit of a pain in the ass to put it in. You have to dig a 4 ft deep hole with a set of posthole diggers.
But, so far so good. I think it's going to work pretty well.
I can take some really disgusting pictures if you guys want.
That seems rather ideal. No bagging poo, no chance of said poo bag hitting you in the face while you answer your phone. No cleaning your yard, putting poo bag in garbage can and having garbage can smell up your garage and your car.
Nope, don't have a dog. But if I did, I'd consider this.
I was using one of those empty drums to put used cat litter in so I didn't have to go down to the big bins every day on the other side of the building, and I emptied it a few days ago. The smell knocked me on my ass.
The Howdy doodie does not smell so far. I mean, I haven't stuck my head in there yet, though. It's full of water and a small amount of digester powder. You drop the poo in and flush the old liquified poo down the overflow pipe with a gallon of water. No smell. Works great, so far.
I thought, you, being a science nerd, would find the concept fascinating, Doc. The thing is more sophisticated than the outhouses humans were using less than 100 years ago.
I'm going to call my doggie dooley "The Yankee bullpen"
How do you get the dog to step on the opener thing and just crap right into the hole?
If you can train your dog to do that, then it is well worth the money.
I also tried to train my cats to use the toilet. It worked for two, the third thought anything porcelain was fair game. After a poo in the tub we gave up.
