[nagdu] Picking up in the Snow?

[Darla Rogers]

Hi Doug,

	I heard about this, as well; if your dog doesn't move a lot, and the
deposit isn't too large, I am sure the poop could be caught in a bag, but
I'll teach these two to use a toileting harness; this back fracture seems
not to ever want to heal, so bending over for a prolonged period of time
isn't practical.
Darla & handsome Huck

Like any baked goods out of the oven, it is better hot than cold.  So, the
trick is to be quick after the oven opens.  The advantage of rapidity is
that it does make a most excellent hand-warmer and truly encourages the most
impressive kind of breath control.  It also makes a good weapon both winter
and summer if one of those know-it-all squawkers approaches you with some of
their disillusion dogie wisdom shortly after the dog dispatch.  It is a much
quicker cure than any antibiotic!  
Letting the steamy deposit stay too long before the big grab produces what I
call the China Syndrome and a probable wait till spring time.

And gentle readers, I hope it is not near meal time for you cause I simply
couldn't make this next part up.  I knew a fellow who seemed to take my
first paragraph too literally; the poop never hit the ground after leaving
the dog.  Work it out for yourselves.  Seems quite efficient though I've
never been able to work around to that end of things.

The preceding message was tops for bottoms!
