Today’s scoop that poop message is on a serious note and going to be about the importance of making arrangements to have someone to scoop that poop when your health deteriorates so much that you can’t scoop that poop yourself and the out come of what happens when you don’t scoop that poop.
When your health is terminal and near the end and you live by yourself with your animals you need to make arrangements to have someone come in and scoop that poop if you can’t.
If you own cat(s) you need to scoop the litter box on a daily basis.
When you don’t you have this……
When you have that you have a cat going outside the litter box which isn’t good at all.
Because my friend was near the end of her life and she didn’t make prior arrangements to have someone come in and take care of her pets both the cat and dog were peeing/pooping in the house. She was so sick she couldn’t clean up so when the emt’s came they ended up calling the police who ended up calling the animal control officer who came in and took the pet’s to the sheltera.
I went to the shelter and got her cat and dog out of jail and took them back to the clinic with me. The house on the other hand will have to have some work done to it.
When you are so sick or near the end of your life and you live alone please make arrangements to have your pet’s taken care of and have someone check on you also. Have them scoop that poop so the animals don’t get carted off to a strange place wondering what the heck they did and what is going on.

Important reminder. It was wonderful that you were there to rescue the pets and make decisions for them.
Thanks for this post. I agree we all should make provisions for “the” case.
This is not something any of us want to think about, but your story holds an important message. Thanks for sharing.
That is sad. But very true 🙁
A very important post, Miss JoAnn. Most people don’t even think of this but they need to! Thanks for joining us in #ScoopThatPoop!

It’s something that people don’t think about, but your post is a great reminder to make arrangements for our pets as we get older and are less able to care for them. Thank you for sharing!
Loved this post, funny but to the point 🙂 xxoxx

Excellent post! I wonder if there are agencies/businesses that do this for people who are alone and ill. If not, it sure would be a good idea for someone to pursue. My human gran volunteers for a group that is a sort of meals on wheels for pets. The get the names of humans who have pets and also have meals on wheels delivered. They collect pet food donations and then deliver that food to the homes.
What a sad story. I think it’s definitely something many people would never even consider. I hope people out there who need this kind of help are able to get it.
Great post. I’m so sorry about your friend, and her poor pets.
Luckily I live in the same town as my sisters – hopefully we’ll all still live near each other when we get older so we can help keep an eye on each other!
I know this was a sad topic, but great graphics to go with. Good job on the post!
It is sad but an important reminder. Just read an article that many add their pet on their will. Golden Thanks for sharing. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Great advice. So sorry about your friend:(
Thank you Lisa.
