One good thing about a nearly snowless winter...

...we can keep up with scooping poop in our backyard!!

Last year it would snow, poop poop poop, snow, more poop, more snow etc and we just couldn't keep up.  In the spring it was.....well....REALLY gross.  I picked up SIX full garbage bags of poop last spring.  SIX!!! GROSS.

This year with hardly any snow we are able to keep up with the scooping.  This spring will be easy peasy!!  :-)

LOL! We just realized how quickly the yard can get yucky when we don't get home until dark. We've only been cleaning it up on the weekends. And that's just one dog who doesn't even poop all that much.

I only skimmed this post until I got to the bolded. Then I promptly stopped to puke in my trash can.

OK, back to work.

Uh yeah.  It was baaaad.  We had one really warm day where the snow melted really quickly and there it all was!!  I put on old boots and wasn't careful about where I stepped and basically shoveled it into bags.  Luckily it didn't smell at all.  

My boys eat the proper amount of good food but still poop a lot.  A LOT.  And Boston wanders as he poops so it's all over and not in nice neat piles like Renzo's.

SORRY, POOP TMI ALL UP IN HERE.  :-)

This is the great thing about having a dog who prefers to poop on his walks. I bag it right then and don't have to worry about it.

Yes!  Andplusalso, no snowy mess all over my floors to clean up everyday.

Ugh, we had some snow, which would melt and freeze, and then some more snow... it just melted all at once and there is poop EVERYWHERE. And of course I kept stepping in it. I get home after dark so I can't poop scoop. FI was supposed to do that today (he works nights). Not holding my breath though, LOL! Next weekend's chore I suppose.

Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but I keep a flashlight by the door when we go in the backyard--I don't care if it's dark, raining, or snowing, I always pick it up.  I never let poop stay on the ground because I don't want to step in it.  I also don't want my dogs stepping in it and bringing it back in the house--yuck!!  Then again, I have Chihuahuas, so they're like tootsie-rolls anyway, which is pretty easy to manage.  My recommendation for snow is also to put down a tarp ($20 at Home Depot) BEFORE it snows.  Once it's done snowing, find the edges and roll back=fresh grass for the fur-children to pee/poop on!!  Carry on mild winter!!!

LOL.. But I totally hear you on this.   How are Renzo and Boston?!?!
