[nagdu] Picking up in the Snow?

[craig.heaps at comcast.net]

I will start by admitting I live in California and am largely ignorant of dealing with my guide in the snow.  But when I went to Milwaukee to visit my son, I found a parking structure next to the hotel that was a good place for reliving.  I went to a far off obscure corner.  The uncovered pavement made it easy to find the depost Chase left behind.  And the structure provided a wind break while I waited for him to do his business.  I tried to be sure it was a place where it wouldn't make much difference in terms of sanitation that I let my dog relieve there.

Hi Lizzy, 
        If I were in your position, I would start by trying to clear the snow from your relieving area.  Yes, the ground might still be wet and cold, but at least it might be easier to locate the poop. 

Hope that helps,

Hi, 

Have the same problem.  there is not always someone sited around and I can not seem to find it very well and my hands get so numb that I can't feel a darn thing.

It's easy for me to do when there's ice, but it's difficult in snow.  I find myself picking up snow until my hands are numb, then I just get sighted assistance because it's easier that way.
