1-800-DOG-POOP

I got the HOA newsletter and as I was tossing it into the recycling bin, I caught the paragraph on the last page about curbing your dog and bringing water along. First, how nice of the HOA to be concerned about my dog being thirsty, thanks. Second, I decided to have a talk with my dog after reading that little blurb.

I said, "Look, we should be more civilized than to stoop in the grass and well, you know. I realize there are sidewalks on both sides of the street, but you need to walk in the road now. You don't see the HOA pooping on the grass, they know better. And by the way, why do I have to clean up after you - you ought to be cleaning up after yourself."

Today, I found the solution. I was driving on 41 and pulled up to a car at a traffic light. I looked over and saw printed across the side of the car CALL 1-800-DOG-POOP for professional pet waste management. How clever. For $10 per service, they come to your yard and clean up dog doody, or should I say residue. I know good fertilizer when I smell it, and if you leave it on your grass for about a week, the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium should get that St. Augustine putting out some pretty good crawlers. Then once a week, 1-800-DOG-POOP and their trained technicians come by and do the dirty work for you. Don't forget though, try to coordinate that with your lawn service.
