*Chuckle Chuckle* Same problem here, if K-lo goes at night. During the day, I pick it right up. I use a small pointed old garden shovel, which, because of frozen poop, is half off the handle from pounding the ice! I always pray the neighbors aren't watching as I do my best to squat (still can't bend) and chistle away! *Sigh*, looks like I'll have to start using the ice chopper. I call them frozen poop-sicles!
