I know this is a little gross, my apologies.

My son's dog is staying with me (probably will be here permanently), and is pooping in my daylily beds. She's not urinating in them, because she's doing that on the carpet, but she poops in them every time I let her out. (My own dogs never do that, maybe partly because they're too small to climb into the raised beds.) I scoop it out of the beds regularly, but will it hurt my daylilies?

When I first moved here, there was a bed out back that nothing every grew in, and I was told that it was because a previous dog used to pee in it; I ended up digging it up, removing the soil, and creating a raised bed there. So I'm wondering if, until I can find a way to stop her, Princess using them as a toilet will likewise harm my beds. Does anyone have any experience with this?
