    Cleaning up in the yard

    How do you pick up dog droppings in the winter when it's all icey and stuff?? I don't exactly have an axe pick to go digging them up..but it needs to be done?

    Who ever lets the dogs outside has to pick it up right away in my house. Not sure what other people might do though...

    I chip it out with a pointy shovel.

    *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!

    Fromthe look of our yard, I don't! We finally had a thaw this weekend, and while I had been trying to scoop what I could find on top of the snow, there was a ton hidden underneath!! I went through 3 kitchen sized garbage bags!!!
