Poo Prints - Doggy DNA

[HarrisonTX]

So, my old lady is apartment hunting up here in Burleson. She's at a complex, the Encore @ Alsbury, when she over hears this- "Hi, we need to get our dog swabbed".

Of course, she inquires about this procedure.

Apparently, to curb the 'dog shit everywhere' problem, the apartment requires a DNA sample from your dog. Supposedly if they see dog shit on the property they will send that shit (literally) off to get DNA tested. If it matches your dog, you get fined.

I was certain she was mistaken, and immediately called up Encore to ask about this. I'll be damned if the lady didn't confirm.
I said, "you must me kidding. I cant imagine you have some massive Doggy DNA Database. You have a guy walking around looking for dog shit?"
To which she replied, "sir that's out policy".
It's apparently called Poo Prints. It's cleaver, I will give them that.

Can you imagine the maintenance man.. *GASP* "DOG SHIT! quick, get a sample over to the DDD right now. We need to have this analyzed"

This cannot be real. Or maybe DNA testing is far easier and cheaper than I once imagined.

Why is she looking for an apartment when you live in Burleson?

10:1 says Steve's DNA is in there.

Must be a hefty fine if they go to that trouble and expense. Mailing (in an approved container) and testing can't be cheap.

Kind of wish that would happen around here, lazy ass neighbors. However, I'm sure it's not entirely funded by fines and we would all see a rent increase due to it...

I had a boxer/mastiff mix that was a very private pooper, and would walk off in the woods to poop. The complex I lived in sent me a notice that there were complaints of my dog doing his deed without me cleaning it up.

I went to the complex manager and let her know that someone surely saw me walk my dog, but never pick anything up, so they complained, but it was unfounded. They didnt buy my story, so the informed me that they would be watching for me to walk the dog and would bust me. I gave them my usual walk times, and invited them down. A few days later, standing in the courtyard, smoking a cig, and twirling a dog lead, she walked up and asked what I was doing. I pointed to the woods, and then shortly ol' Scooby came trotting out of the woods and greated her.

You should've named your dog Pope.

You should've named your dog Pope.

Pope the private pooper?

[Nash B.]

No, because he pooped in the woods.

How much does it cost?

DNA has become extremely affordable in recent years due to advances in sequencing technology. In most areas, as low as $29.95 per dog on the property is all it takes to get started registering pets! Dog registration is a one-time event and there are no monthly or hidden fees for self service properties. After registering all community dogs, only pay for waste matching as it occurs - if it occurs! We will analyze a small sample and make a match.

Probably cheaper if you get a certain number of dogs.

Sounds cutting edge.

[Geor!]

Sounds cutting edge.

You really filleted him there, bud!

[Strychnine]

Sounds cutting edge.

Certainly not just a stab in the dark.

Someone has way too much time on their hands. If it's an issue, don't allow dogs in the complex.

[SVT Lurch]

no, because he pooped in the woods.

Excellent!
