Stupid Dog
My daughter has this Beagle.
This dog is the Houdini of crapping in the house. She does it a couple times a month, but nobody ever catches her. You are just walking through the house, smell dog crap and begin a game I like to call "Guess where the dog pooped!"
I bring it up today, because the Roomba won this morning's game.
In celebration it did a victory lap through the dining room, across the foyer, and into the kitchen where I came across it skid marking the floor in there. These are the kinds of things nobody warns you about when you're growing up, how exactly does one get dog crap out of a Roomba?
I'd Google but I don't want it to be a suggested search for the next 6 months, or worse, Ad Sense to make fun of me with Dyson ad's on every site I visit.

And ...how do you get dog crap out of the roomba....get the dog out of the roomba.

Poops a couple of times a month in the house?? More training or less dog.
I can only imagine trying to clean the "skid" marks from the Roomba. Our carpets are almost white and if that happened....well, doggie would probably have a sewed up rear end . As far as the Roomba; you can buy the replacement parts for the various brushes etc. but you will still have "poop" on all of the surfaces of the machine. Me, outside dog and new Roomba.

Yes, exactly, introduce the beagle to the great outdoors. She might like it.

Oh, oh no..
There's a whole internet thing of photos where that's happened.
The Roomba comes apart pretty well, that's all I have to say.
Beagles.. Well, they're pretty stubborn and not the smartest canines on the planet... At least typically.

Easiest way to fix the problem is to only feed the dog twice a day. Do not leave food out and put the dog on a schedule.
Our beagles are pretty darn smart, but prone to get even if you don't follow the schedule.
They get walked twice a day, morning and evening all pooping takes place on the walks.

Maybe that Roomba has a black tank rinse.

Wow - this escalated quickly.
To address a few comments:
- Daughter didn't clean it up, because she wasn't here.
- The dog is crated at night and when we're not home, and is on a schedule of walks and going out. As such she is by and large pretty good about accidents in the house. There seems to be a direct correlation between the outside temp and the accidents - see stubborn Beagle.
- This was shared to be a funny anecdote - I will not be taking the dog to the pound and upsetting my wife and kids over this adventure, the curmudgeon is strong with that recommendation.

"My daughter has this Beagle." Therefore, my daughter cleans/cleaned the Roomba. Our Charlie, thankfully, now has a system for alerting us when it's time to visit the great outdoors for physiological purposes.
As far as the skid marking goes, get the little darling's anal glands purged on a regular basis. That might help.

Desert, I believe the "skid marking" was done by the Roomba dragging this little "prize" along the floors.....and every now and then all of us are going to have accidents. I'd sure hate to have Brenda drag me off to the old folk's home if I had one.
