Poop bags

My wife showed me and the kids the best way to deal with picking up dog crap....

All those bags you get at the store, the plastic ones.... stuff one in your pocket when you head out for a walk with the dog. If he craps, put your hand in the bag, grab the crap with the protected hand, then turn the bag inside out off your hand and tie it.

Just watch out for holes in the bag.... eeewwwwww.

I do have to say that, after coming from the east coast, your dog crap problems arent bad here in MM. Our roads were covered with horse crap, and we had lots of wild dogs crapping all over.

These are great educational articles!

NOW, what EACH of us does WITH this information is important.

Let us not forget the cats. This can also be SOOOO annoying. Most especially if it is your neighbor's cat and YOU know which ones are doing it.

Thanks, Jennifer!

A BIG thank you to Jennifer for taking the time to educate us all! I have a neighbor who seems to purposely allow his dog out to ''use the neighbor's facilities''. I believe he does not have email, perhaps I can print this out and give him a copy.

Knowledge is power!
