Shit, Shitted, or Shat?

So, a friend and I are debating the proper past-tense of the word 'Shit' as in:
"My dog shat in the neighbor's heliconias."
I think the correct past-tense is 'Shat'. What do you think?

I personally use it as "Man, you'd shit if you were there." or "I just took a shit." Shat and shitted sounds kinda out of place.

when people use the word 'shat' there's usually some irony behind it... like "I know this is supposedly the proper past tense of shit, but i'm just using it cause it sounds silly."
but 90 percent of the time its just shit, like "she just about shit a brick when she found out."
"Dude I shat a brick!" is just too literal

I'd just say something like "My dog took a shit in the neighbor's heliconias"
For some reason I try and rephrase things to make "shit" work.

Do you mean that in the present or the past tense?
