lol....I hope Hiedi sees this thread. I use one of those poop scoopers, that way I stay at least 2 ft away from it, and I don't even have to touch it with my hand. Heidi sometimes doesn't stay in one spot also, so its rather annoying having to pick up that stuff. It doesn't bother me though, and neither does vomit, well it isn't pleasant, but I do it. My mom REFUSES to touch vomit, and she used to be a nurse!! She says she doesn't do vomit. I know she did mine though, but considering that Heidi is my dog, I have to do all the dirty work. The only thing that I had to do for Heidi that grossed me out BIG time, was when she was a puppy, and she had worms and then they would come out in her stools, and we weren't taking her outside right away, we were using hte paper by the door theory because thats what her breeder said to do, so it was NASTY NASTY!! Fortunately we started taking her out right after that incident.
