Oh, to have 18 acres! I’d let most of it stay meadow or woods, but what a great thing. And, oh, to have a dog that would not just run away; our greyhound mix loves to run and it’s hard telling when she’d come back if we let her go, LOL!

Oh my gosh! I love Howie’s comment! Too funny!

I went around the front yard the other day picking up Weeping Willow branches that had fallen all winter. Talk about a workout! I’m not used to all of that bending - so I understand exactly where you are coming from!

OMG and I thought I had lost it LOL! Ya'll are too funny! Yes, I'm still alive & kicking over here. Too much drama, as always. It's been beautiful here the last two days. Looking forward to preparing for new flowers to be planted. I love Spring! HUGS!

This really funny! I don’t do mine. My dogs would go to the far pasture in the tall grasses (owns 18 acres of land). They would do their business far away so I don’t have to pick it up! Smart dogs and save my time. LOL.. If it’s near here, I would use shovel and pick it all and dump it out in the pasture.

By the way, if it had been me who started the reconnaissance, I would have put a big plastic garbage bag in the receptacle first. Then the “who cleans it” question would not come up, save for the glove.

*Thump*

That’s me falling on the floor at the realization that AMY actually posted on my blog. OMG! OMG!

Dana, we do the Wal-Mart bag thing when we’re diligent. But here in Ohio we have this thing called snow (you may remember it from Tennessee, yes?). Thing is, if you don’t grab the logs right away, they tend to get covered with the white crystaline substance. The net effect of poop - snow - poop - snow is what I call poop lasagna. When it all finally melts in spring, it’s quite the mess.

I should mention that our dogs have their favorite toilet areas, and they are good about heading for them. We try to keep their toilet activity back beyond the sycamore in our yard, so the majority of the yard is a poop-free zone. This winter we slacked and let them out the back door (Emma has a 26′ long Flexi-Leash) and there were poop-free zone violations. None were within our walking route, but they were closer to the house than we normally have.

So, TMI?

Ha!! It’s meee! I use a big serving spoon and spoon up the poo into a plastic bag and then throw the whole thing away

ya’ll are weird. I just turn a walmart bag inside out and deposit the logs (rotflmbo) in another walmart bag. Then i throw both away. If that fails, my children always find the fresh piles and mash them flat with their feet, wipe them on the ground and holler for me to bring the soap and the hose (i don’t recommend the latter method)

Scat, you! And it isn’t a bucket…There’s no handle, thus our moving it by kicking it across the lawn.

You get to clean the poop bucket. LOL
