  • Welcome back!

    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

I am confessing so don't judge.

Another reason to own a Fila....No going out among the evil public. Since Cane is raw fed his turds are about the size of three giant rabbit turds. Even better, step on it a couple of days later and it just turns into powder.

That reminds me of this commercial I saw for a Barbie product. Let me see if I can find it.....

No poop patrol here, raw fed dogs combined with no dogs who eat poop and it just disappears into dirt very quickly once it thaws!

It's true! I posted it on FB too just in case you need another look. I saw that this morning & said WTF. Then I died from laughing.

No poop control here. I always have a poop bag on me for when we walk at the park. He is fed raw so the poop is about the size of a cat's poop. One time I didn't pick up the poop, I forgot the bag that morning. The next day, I knew it was his poop because it was white.

When at the park and I see dog owners not pick up the poop, I stand there and watch them with the evil eye. Of course, they do not give a crap, they just walk away. :mad:

I also confess that I have not done any cleanup since December. I am really not looking forward to it. It is gonna take a long time to get it all cleaned up and I will also have to clean up all the branches that came down and the eaves troughs that came down (harsh winter here). I think I will recruit my friends with beer! Hopefully they take me up on it!

Whew--I am so relieved I am not the only one.
I had to leave the backyard un-scooped for almost a month.

My theory is that if you cannot change a situation, you change they way you think about it, & that situation will change...

This is my *Devine Wisdom*--- I have used 'reverse psychology' on myself.

For the past 20 yrs, I have referred poop scooping the yard as ***Treasure Hunting***

Thursday the thaw started.
There was only about 30 min of daylight when I got home from work.

The yard was a water & ice & sh*t soup.

Tessa digs holes, so they were craters filled with the muck.

I got more than 20lbs on my 1st 2 passes.

I did not find a pot of gold, & I think there is a leprechaun taunting me.

Call it poop Patrol here, and the back yard a mine field.
May have to use your method in the future tho, as with ex's EM I did find gold. A charm (actually 21 carat), lincon log, legos, and to many other of my boys daughters little plastic toys to count.

Good one Catia. I did one major clean-up in December and the bag was at least 35 pounds, though some of it was ice and snow infused with poop. The back gate was buried so I had to drag it through the house…With My Fingers Crossed that the bag wouldn't break. I didn't see any leprechauns, but my husband was laughing his ass off. He stopped laughing when I made him drag it to the curb. Poop's Heavy!

Luckily we have a sweeper that attached to the mower. It gets a good bit of the poop up. We scoop the rest.

You can vacuum poop using a lawnmower???

I gotta learn about this--though I am sure it ain't gonna work in the snow.

How bad does it get caught in your blades & bag? Sounds like putting a turd in a blender.
I usually like the smell of fresh cut grass-

But a super shop vac --***The Turd Vac****that can handle a huge turd & thwart it into a bag that doesn't leak sounds like something someone should invent.

My gardener picks the poop up in the backyard every week. I hardly have to mess with it unless we have guests on the weekend. Lol

Sunny California! Well, if it was sunny here, I'd be glad to poop and scoop, but my backyard - usually a pleasant haven for birds, bees and me is now buried under three feet of ice and snow. Tonight it will once again dip to -40 Celsius (oddly enough that converts to -40 Fahrenheit as well) with the wind chill. Another, and hopefully the last of blast of the polar vortex, is upon us. So, once again, I will scoot Bailey out the door...watch her from the window, and promise to clean up when the snow stops and the polar vortex leaves.

I so know what you are feeling.

Easiest way is to snow blow the poop away! Anytime it snows or drifts in, frozen poo is shot into the woods. Done.

this is a relief, I say this with sorrow but now i know i dont stand alone. first I felt guilty.... I got my 15 yr old to pick it up... at first she would complain.. then I told her "lets make a deal? YOU pay to feel 6 pets and I will pick up the poop" and the winner was??? ME!!! because what 15 yr old girl is going to use her shopping allowance to pay for the dog food... cat food... lizard food? I feel less guilty that I send her off for doody duty every 1-2 days. BUT that is while carefully watching the puppy because he seems to think fresh warm poop is like a brownie that came out of the oven. CHOMPS down on it like its the best treat in the world. UGHH so gross.

It rains for days on end here. It sucks because the poop turns into soft serve and is just about impossible to pick up. Then it smears all over the grass, and well...it's just gross.

Build a dog compost system. Dig a hole big enough in diameter for a trash can. Cut the bottom out of the trash can. Cut holes in the trash can sides with a hole saw to allow ventilation. Bury can. Put dog crap in can. Put lid on can. Wa La...... doggie composter (put in some organic material occasionally)

We do that very thing except we haven't buried the bucket yet. We have peat moss in it and then carry the bucket around and scoop up the massive 8 plus piles a day. My boy is a double pooper and likes to leave extra packages. When the bucket is full, we take it down to the bottom of the hill and mix it in the leaves.
