LOL! LOL! I don't think I have ever read any tip that even remotely comes close to that in Helouise!

During the summer months I usually do it every other day. I make sure I do it right before hubby mows. In the winter no one walks in the yard other than the dogs so I slack off A LOT! Bella usually goes along the back part of the yard so there aren't so many *mines* of hers to accidentally walk through. Ripley goes everywhere but his poopies are pretty tiny. I did a long overdue pooper scoop last week and let's just say it was probably comparable to cleaning up after a couple of elephants.
