and YES, it IS your job!
On my first sit, I learned that my sense of direction really sucks. Celeste and I went for a “short” walk… and a couple of hours later we came out of the woods a few miles from where I expected to be – and a LONG way from where we should have been. Note to self: charge cell phone and update Google Maps before going on a walk!
Another thing I noticed is the amount of dog poop along the field paths. People seem to think that if they’re not on a main sidewalk or street, it’s find to simply leave the poop where it drops. After all, wild animals poop there, so it must be okay, right?
Hey Folks, Guess What? It’s NOT OKAY!
While the poop is going to eventually degrade and become fertilizer for the soil, it takes a LONG time for this to happen and it’s not good for the soil for it to sit there that long. The best way to dispose of the dog poop is in biodegradable poop bags. These bags (truly biodegradable, not just “degradable” or “compostable” bags) can be flushed down the toilet in most communities. If you don’t have biodegradable bags, the only acceptable options are to stoop & scoop and (1) put the poop and whatever bag/container you use into the garbage OR (2) flush the poop down the toilet and then put the container in the garbage.
With or without handles…the choice is yours! With handles come in packs (not in rolls).
