Just pick up the poop...

I mean, really, how hard is it?  Yes, it is disgusting, but you chose to have a dog at an apartment complex.  And, for those of us who like to walk through the grass in the morning on their way to work, just pick up the poop.

It's easy!  

Here are five easy steps telling how to clean up after your pet:
  1. Locate where the package landed.
  2. Take an inside out Wal*Mart, Target, or Kroger bag and place it on your hand.
  3. With the hand that has the shopping bag, retrieve the package.
  4. Is package is now safely on the inside on the shopping bag? (If not, repeat steps 1-4.)
  5. Discard in the nearest receptacle.
See?  Wasn't that easy?  I think you're ready to do it on your own now.

Dear Becca,
By a strange series of coincidences(got the address from your Facebook page, you are a friend of my son David Baldwin, read a comment and saw your picture there), I have read some of your blog, notably the pre-LM rehearsal bathroom fiasco and "Just pick up the poop..."
Your methodology makes me cringe, although I have to say I learned it first from my wife, Susan, and I use it on the rare occasions when I am forced to, meaning that I DON'T have a take-out coffee cup and lid, which is my preferred pooper scooper. Susan cringes at this method of poop retrieval as much as I do at hers/yours.
I guess it means "to each his/her/its own..."
