Strappin' on the Feed Bag

[Jeri]

Boone just showed me a new trick tonight.

I try to maintain a poop-free yard, and buy rolls of blue bags to pick up the poopies.  I keep a small waste can in the back yard, where I can deposit the filled bags. 

This evening the boys wanted to go outside.  Poldie left a pile on the patio, and I picked it up.  Since I have two other dogs, and a dachsie pile doesn't begin to fill a bag, and the cost of these bags adds up, I set the bag on the corner of the patio.  I thought I would just wait a little while to see if I would have anything to add to it, you see.

A couple minutes later, Poldie decided to come in, so I opened the slider and let him in.  I didn't see Boonie, so I stepped out onto the patio to look around for him.  I heard him before I saw him, as I immediately recognized the unmistakable rustle of someone getting into a plastic bag. 

Sure enough, Boonie was hiding at the far side of the patio table, head in the poop bag.  I marched over to get the bag from him, and he took off, bag in tow.  I had left the door open so he headed for home.  I followed him inside, and he was easy to find.  You see, as he ran he dropped a trail of poop crumbs on the carpet on his way to the living room.

I eventually got the bag from him, and learned a valuable lesson:  Always throw the bag away, right away, no matter how much room is left inside!

That is too funny.  Easy for me to say, I know.

Way to go, Boone buddy!  I'm taking down notes about your technique.  Yum!  Poop!

So Boone is also a member of P.E.A.?  Cajsa is a former president!  She has kicked the habit for her own poop and switched to chasing dirty diapers!  It's a mess if she actually gets one.  ICK!

That is too funny about Boone getting into the "feed bag" though.  I have to laugh.

Oh, they do keep us jumpin...There is a wonderful pooperscooper invented by a local boy who's job is de-pooping his yard (only takes one hand).  Family has 4 Goldens...His father was so impressed he had it patented (sp).  It isn't cheap, but you use plastic grocery bags.  We hang it on a nail, up out of reach, till the bag is too heavy to use effectively...just looked for a name on it, not there.  Will try to find the name and post later.

The good thing about living in the forest is that I can just scoop the poop and haul it over the fence for the forest creatures who want to eat Doxie Tootsie Rolls!  My problem is I have to do the scooping right away or they become Frozen Doxie Tootsie Rolls, and then I have to wait for a defrosting warm day!!!  I have found Forest Creature Pies in our fenced-in area (deer, elk, fox, mountain lion) which, of course, Luther is the first to alert me of, as he is either peeing on top of it claiming "his" territory or trying to dig it up and walk around with it in his mouth...yuk.  What a funny story, though....I like the part about the poop crumbs.......

"So Boone is also a member of P.E.A.?"
