[nagdu] Picking up in the Snow?

Fri Jan 31 17:10:11 UTC 2014

I have kind of become familiar with Filix's routine.  He circles a few
times, then I can feel where he is squatting, at least most of the time.  I
use a bag on my hand and don't mind if I pick up some snow with the deposit.
I would rather be sure that I got it all.This proves   thatwe   can
discuss any aspect of having a guide dog on the list.
Mary and Felix

Tracy, I've had that snow drift experience and in that case, it can damn 
well stay there and end up as a dehydrated weapon in spring; rather like 
a ping-pong ball.  And yes, those dogs know what they're doing to us; if 
not why did mine always wag his tail after a mountain top poop.

Damn, this is fun!
