However, I really don't care - cleaning up the yard just isn't a big deal. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - In 1978, George Bush was warning that Social Security would go broke in 10 years |

We have to bundle up against the cold or batten down against the rain three, four times a day and we have to pick up all donations. I've been an urban dweller for many years. One with a postage stamped sized yard though (now have 1/2 acre yard). In both urban and suburban settings, go out with dogs frequently. Wouldn't be easier for you to actually watch your dog when they are out in the yard, and simply run out and quickly pick anything up that they make, when they make it? I scoop my yard 2x+ per day. Usually, when scooping, Franklin provides more matter for me, which is scooped immediately. We spend a lot of time outdoors in the summer, and poos is scooped as soon as it's deposited. I almost always watch my dogs in the yard. These days (with snow on the ground), I walk out and scoop right away if the pile is close enough to the house and the precip light or non-existent. Otherwise, I revel in the luxury of not having to scoop until the next day or when I feel like it. Or, how about going outside with your dog? Put them on the leash and make them understand that after they poop they can be let go to play. My dogs don't need to be on leash to know that. That is the routine. play and walks come after elimination. I'm outside with them a lot. Dogs learn to poop quickly that way. That way you poor poor people with back yards only have to be outside briefly, pick up the poop, and go back inside and stay warm and not have to worry about frozen/thawing doggie poo poo. You don't seem to understand that a yard does not a lazy owner make. -- Janet B www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

Wouldn't be easier for you to actually watch your dog when they are out in
the yard, and simply run out and quickly pick anything up that they make, when they make it? We live where snow falls in feet, not inches. We *do* go out with the dogs, and pick up after them when we can. But things like toddlers tagging along and the poop sinking through feet of snow makes cleaning up in the dark not easy. -Sharon |

The problem is my dogs need to go at night and I have no way to
illuminate the whole yard. If you have an apartment, you can always get a dog litter box. They sell then at Petsmart. They also make sod boxes for apartment decks. |

Here's a sure way to make a million bucks folks. Some one of us ought to
invent something (natually safe) that will melt that poop away. Spray and Melt. A sure zillion dollar item g. -- God Bless America Josh The Bad Bear |

What I really want is infrared goggles to spot it in the dark. The army
issue ones cost a bundle. Any inventors? |
