Your point being… what? That the dog owner is obliged to get every last scrap of goo off every last blade of grass? I suggested the bag-covered scoop on the assumption that scooping up the majority of the crap would suffice. (I am aware that gooey poop sticks to grass.) Just how, um, anal do we have to be about the organic matter, here?

Ah the joys of owning pets… Luckily they give me way more joy than they do problems.

This column has made me laugh with every post! Then I went to the link and found that it comes with, no, you can BUY, a TOTE! Wahoooooo!

Also, it is branded “As seen on TV”. WHAT have I been missing by not watching TV all these years? Not only that, but HOW have they been …er… promoting something like this on TV?

We knew that when we got them, we don’t have carpets, so we just deal with it.

That said, I would never buy this. I’m with whoever said to watch their diets (though dogs are known for sometimes helping themselves to incredibly disgusting and indigestible objects.)

Though I would still consider this a unitasker, considering the “old-fashioned” way is only a tiny bit more effort, and FREE.

I can see the idea behind this – if you walk your dog on grass, and it’s a squishy one, this could be useful. Could be. Kind of.

Jen – in the house?!?!?

all that said… this doesn’t seem wrothwhile to me, but someone who is pretty hard-headed and budget conscious said nice things about it, so there you go. I find that this whole process is basically a good way to make use of plastic bags that accumulate around the house .
