Depends on the weather.. In these colder months.. usually once a week, except I try to get it all before it snows... So they dont step in it because its covered by inches of white and then bring it inside.. Eli is one clumsy dog.. In the summer, definitely every other day or so. It starts to stink............. "baked" sounds about right!!

We live in a townhouse/patio home/condo( )/villa/whatever so the backyard is a concrete slab and river rocks.. so it has no where to go.. So we must scoop.. and for our neighbors' sake. And in the summer we have to clean the concrete with a big broom and SimpleGreen because MissPriss refuses to do her business on the rocks.. So 'PeeStainedConcrete' gets smelly in 90F+ with 100% humidity.. Shoot.

I'd love a grass backyard.. At my mom's house, we never scooped. Half an acre of grass and 4.5 acres of woods, so RB Pepper could poop wherever she pleased. It was NICE!
