pet owners

I just saw this on the tv a little bit ago. I might be good for a few laughs. Unless you'd rather have then do it, but I really can't see this one lasting too long. (i havn't looked through the site yet i have to go)

Believe it or not in Toronto and surrounding areas there is several companies that have done well with this crazy idea. I guess when people have money to burn they can pay people to do there dirty work ???

Holy dog poop, Batman! They even take Mastercard or Visa.

I've got teenage boys to take care of this job, but I can see them using their allowance to subcontract this nasty job out. I've spent plenty of time with a shovel and a bucket in the back yard myself - it takes longer to do the doo than it does to actually mow the grass.

Yeah, that's one of the worst parts of mowing the yard...the pre-mow cleanup!

3 dogs = Pasture!

Time to hire them would be after a long winter when the snow melts. Lots of stoop and scoop.

Myself, I just mow right over anything that is in the yard. Dog's ###, leaves from trees, any garbage that blew in the yard, and small sticks from trees. I just mulch up anything in the yard.
I still am suprised that someone would pay some company to come over and pick it up and throw it away. I guess they are just lazy people with pets.

I've been aware of businessess of this type for about four years now. Yes, there really are people that don't want to deal with it and are willing to pay someone to take care of it. Most likely they are the ones that have a lawn service mow their grass and trim their shrubs, a housekeeper clean their house, drive their car through a carwash, etc. I see the service wants to know where the persons trash can is at. I sincerely hope they use a zip lock bag .

Yep, there's at least one business here that's been in business for more than a few years. I think they're called "A1 pooper scooper".

Check that out, there was a person on TV, I think maybe HGtv or discovery or something about 3 weeks ago and they showed her doing the same thing but only with real doo. It was so nasty... her two dogs were the donors.
