The Daily Poop

Doggy Detail Yard Service

Dog owners just love to show off how well they’ve trained their pups.

“Sit!” “Heel!” “Roll over!” “High-five!” “Who’s the smartest puppy? Who?”

Except when it comes to the really useful commands. Like “Pick up the poop. Pick it up.” Now whose tail is wagging the dog?

You love the fact that Fluffy has finally learned to do her business in the yard, but you hate having to be on crap patrol every time you walk out the door. So let Doggy Detail do the messy cleaning up. Once a week (spring, summer, fall, and winter) they’ll come over, scan the grass for mutt mines, and cart them all off.

No need to worry about cross-lawn contamination either, Fussykins. Before each stop, the crew completely disinfects their boots and tools, ensuring that other doggies’ cooties stay where they belong: not in your back yard.

And at only $9 a visit, it’s one nifty, practical trick.

That you can both be proud of.
