I just saw an advertisement for a company called Poop Masters. They claimed that they were a service that would come to your house to pick up what’s man’s best friend leaves behind.
Would anyone actually pay for this? (Not including kennels).
The ad showed a scene where the dog went on the front porch and no one wanted to pick it up so they called the poop masters. It seems to me that anyone not willing to pick up after Fido maybe shouldn’t have a dog.
There’s a really funny Margaret Cho joke in this story. If only she were here to tell it!
I hired a poop-picker-upper when we put our house on the market. I already had so much other crap (har) to do packing, getting the house ready, etc. it was really nice to know that I didn’t have to worry about the back yard. He did a great job too!
WHO YA GONNA CALL???..POOPMASTERS… 
Some people are so squicked by dog feces that they can’t pick it up if it’s been marinating in the outdoors. I’d imagine the service is also popular with elderly people who have poor mobility, or anyone who’s had medical procedures which temporarily limit their mobility - hip joint replacement comes to mind.
There are at least a couple of people in the San Jose area making a thriving business of this. When I was in a crunch working 90 hour weeks, I was really tempted to hire them.
I wonder if there is one in Orlando? I would be very willing to pay someone else to do this service.
Is this their advertising, I wonder?
I aint scared of no poop.
You haven’t seen some of the donations in my neighborhood.
(And what is with people who bring bags to pick up the poop and then drop the loaded bags in some random location.)
I have no need for Poop Masters, but I would gladly hire Toy Masters.
This would have been perfect for an ex of mine who let the poop sit out in the yard for so long it got fuzzy.
How long is that? Or where was that? Here we have enough rain that I’ve never seen poop go to the ‘fuzzy’ stage. It eventually would dissolve into puddle/patties. then the grass grew through it, and it was impossible to discern from actual soil.
Circle of life-- beautiful in its way, isn’t it?
My husband mentioned seeing an ad for a service like that around here and said he’d like to hire them. I said we have better things to buy with our money.
Yards were made for dog poop. I’ve harbored a deep resentment against the corporations who have brainwashed Americans into thinking our yards should be perfectly homogenous, weed-free and of only one particular type of grass which is sheared to a perfect uniform height. Yards are for kids to play football, dogs to poop and dig, and for the occasional barbecue.
The earth needs dog poop-- that’s how dirt gets made. It doesn’t smell-- it disolves away in the rain, and voila! New topsoil.
Dog poop is also a wonderful burglar deterrent: the “land mines” will keep them at bay.
I’m not scared of poop exactly…but I can’t say I relish picking it up.
Hell yes I’d pay someone to do it! Especially when it gets to be 90 degrees. (I have 2 doggies)
I would, if I had no one else to do it. My condition for letting my husband get a dog was that I would be doing absolutely NO poop-scooping. I’d rather not have a dog than have to pick up its poop. If I try, it makes me nearly vomit. If someone else will clean up the poop, I’m more than willing to have a dog.
