Poop Picker Uppers

[T-Ice]

How many of you are religious Poop Picker Uppers. How far will you go?
Will you travel far and wide to pick up one of your dog's poos that know one will ever see? Do you let a few slide that are in certain range of stepping on? Does smoke come out of your ears when you see someone "not see a poo" , if ya know what I mean.
Do you have the humanity to confess a PGB (Poo Gone Bad)

I usually carry bags with me, but sometimes I forget and have left a pile. If that's the case, though, I try to get a stick or something and move it out of the walking range.

My dogs usually only $*** in the tall grass, though!

I am one of the lucky ones - Roscoe almost never poos outside of our yard. I take bags with me just in case, but I've never actually had to use them.

I was VERY serious about pooh picking up. I would even, on occasion, pick up an errant dog's pile, if appropriate.

I don't have a dog to pick up after, but I wanted to comment on this.

Does smoke come out of your ears when you see someone "not see a poo" , if ya know what I mean.

YES! But in my case, it is when a grooming customer brings their dog in to our small entrance room.........they are the ONLY one there..........their dog makes a mess of some kind.............and they ignore it like "If I don't acknowledge it, it doesn't belong to MY dog!". I mean then WHO did it...........YOU?!?!?!?!?!

Rant over.......just something that bugs me at work.

Yep. I take along these bags that are PERFECT for the job. They are these little trash bags for inside your car, that came with some car part (I think), and they are wonderful. big enough to cover your hand and pick up the poo, it's great. I wish I could find some more. I won't pick up a stray poo but I would probably push it out of the way with a stick or something.

One of the first days that I had Willy, I took him on a walk. He stops frequently just to sniff things on his outings. Anyways, we were walking on the sidewalk and he goes into the very outer edge of the grass of an apartment complex. Well, he pees and this lady, who lives in a house across the street, starts screaming at me. First off, I know I should have paid better attention to what he was doing but it wasn't CRAP or anything. Secondly, what was I supposed to do had I been watching him and he started whizzing? Thirdly, it's not like I can pick pee up. Stupid old bag.

I'll admit to having forgotten bags and left poo. If it was right in the middle of the trail I'd still scoot it off with a stick though. I finally became intelligent though and started keeping bags in my camera case. I pretty mcuh don't take Nebo anywhere without a camera so problem solved.

Hey Jen I know what you mean. It happens all the time here as well. The other day an unneutered male dog came in and he peed FOUR times in the waiting area and it was very obvious but the owners didn't say a thing.

One time, Timber and I were biking through an intersection and she pooed right in the middle of it. Couldn't pick up that one lol. Or, the time we were biking really fast and she stopped to poo, and I went flying over the handlebars right in front of a group of hot guys (they laughed at me of course). I sped away from that one pretty fast.

I bring bags with me everywhere, so I'm good at picking up poop. Visa hardly ever poops in public anyways. One time she stopped to poop when we were crossing in front of a road while biking. I went to move my bike off to the side of the road and some idiot yelled "PICK IT UP RETARD!" I was so angry I swore at him lol. Want me to struggle with my bike and my dog in the middle of the road while picking up poop so that I can get hit by a car? Okay! Let me move my bike and my dog to the side of the road, idiot. But Visa is pretty good at pooping only in the yard and on the grass by my work (where I don't even have to pick it up).

I must admit to leaving it in some areas. The island (this wooded park area on a strip of land in the middle of the river) we go for walks on is a place I normally leave it. There are so many geese that there is crap everywhere you walk. Autumn used to only poop in our yard but I haven't enforced the "go before we leave" rule so she's usually goes on our walks. I pick it up everywhere else though. People have yelled at me to pick it up when she is obviously peeing. I hate that.

I am generally very diligent at picking up my dogs poo. I always (well ok, almost always, about 95-99% of the time) I have at least one bag with me per dog. But I have to admit that every once in a great while I will either forget a bag or I may run out if someone decided to poop twice or I had to give one away to someone else in need. If that is the case and they pooped in an area where it is likely to get stepped on I will move it out of the way with a stick or the like.
But there are also times that I won't pick up poop even if I have a bag, of course those times are always only when we they poop in the woods & there is no way anyone will step on it because you'll get torn up by the prickers in the way or the like.
