Dog sheeeeeit cleaning/picking up; what do you use?

[Maluco]

What product do you guys use to pick up yo dawg's sheeeeeit. I'm tired of bending down with my hand wrapped in 4 layers of left over Walmart bags. I usually wait for the grass to get a fair height before mowing so I don't think that hinge-claw contraption will work well. What do you guys use?



I was actually looking at something like this but it looks cheap as hell.

Being in Portland I'm doing all I can to put more plastic bags in the garbage before these retarded politicians ban the bags. So plastic bags for now.

you must not have a lawn? Or what are you using to rake it into the shovel?

ironically this thread is less dogshit than most threads in off topic

Wait wait wait....
You guys seriously pick up your dogs shit, in your own yard?
and now you started a thread, asking the different methods to pick up your dogs shit?

I'm slightly dumbfounded. So I'll just play along nicely

Here's what I use to pick up my dogs shit:
A lawn mower

I just choose a dog with a penchant for eating its own shit

I don't have a dog. but i just thought of an idea. take a plastic bag, the kind you get at the growshery store, put the dogs back legs through the handle straps, and secure the dog to the bag somehow, so when it shits it goes right into the bag. like a diaper.

Va-poo-rize!

worse than picking up your dog's shit in your own yard is mowing in the fkng Texas summer heat within a wooden fenced-in box of your dogs' vaporized talcum shit powder all in the air whilst having your ankles and shoes be gently covered as well so that you take it back in the house. That and I don't want shit all over my mower and its wheels.

EDIT: I'm smart enough to leave my dogs in the backyard for a bit before walking them in the neighborhood and down to a nearby park as to not have them shit on the way. Some lady was walking her dog down the sidewalk the other day and her dog shit in my yard; I happen to see it and kindly walked out there and delivered a Walmart bag (with holes in it). It's not the first time.

Happy:

Do you have a great dane? I love great danes. But we have a miniature poodle and a sheltie. So I don't have to worry about talcum power landmines. I just mow it over, and don't have any issues with it.


Less happy:

Apparently everything IS really bigger in texas.
Even dog shit.

Mow it over, wash your mower, drive fast enough to where you don't have to breathe it, change your clothes, and call it an honest days work.






In all seriousness, I can appreciate that being a problem. I haven't lived in texas, so I just simply won't understand. Plus, we do have the sheltie and mini poodle. So the biggest shit we have to deal with is maybe 4 inches long. And our climate is always moist enough to where it just hardens, and doesn't turn into chalk. So I respectfully say keep doing it. and that's pretty shitty

I was playing nicely before. I WAS going to respond with popsickle sticks, and donate them to the local homeless shelter as candy pops, but even I found that slightly distasteful.

Pun intended

Don't forget simply stepping in it...

People are so thoughtful aren't they.

NWS threads gone and this is what the men are posting. Good lord. As for dog shit, they shit wherever, small poop just hardens and doesn't turn white. Rains and then fertilizes the grass. Done deal.
