You forgot those plastic gloves you buy in a big box
Works much better than plastic bags.

2. You forgot other
They sell small septic-type tanks you can bury in your yard and it digests the pooh. A bit like a chemial toilet.

3. My neighbor across the street
Edited on Thu Mar-04-04 05:28 PM by BlackVelvetElvis
sticks little yellow flags in the grass at the annointed spot and the dog's owners come and clean up for him. After all, the dog is their responsibility.
This dog also does his business in my yard. I don't mind so much and just pick it up since he guards my house as well as his owners.

8. LOL - are the flags "color-coded" to give the owner a hint ?
.
.
.

I mean, then each owner wouldn't have to walk over to see if it was "his" responsibility

A beagle obviously would make a smaller "deposit" than a Great Dane !

Stil LOL here

flags - !!!

that's just TOO funny

and VERY considerate !!

(chuckle)

5. I hired my 10 year old to do poop patrol for our 2 poochies. She's pretty
darned good, in fact, SO good about looking after the critters, I raised her allowance to a buck a day.

7. I knew a musher had it really good
The local Christmas tree farm would come once a week and take it all away. We're talking 40 dogs here. :)
