Dog owners - picking up the "unpick-upable" on walks?

5. Heh..no over sharing when it comes to pets IMO

Most pet owners have seen it all....and then had to pick it up.

Our lab mix is a shy pooper...will only poo at home when no one is looking and our GSD is an exhibitionist...he will always try to squirt something out on a walk.

Fall is the best...you can usually grab some leaves and that helps, but its been so dry here the grass is pretty sparse. We walk at night...there are no sidewalks in our area so we have to walk in the street and we live near a very busy road, so I wait until the wee hours to walk them. Plus there are a lot of other dogs in the area that come charging out at us when we have walked at normal hours and my GSD does not handle that well.

I have thought about coming back the next day to retrieve it, but I feel like I should leave a little flag with a note...saying I will be back tomorrow when this firms up. Then that seems silly, so the water bottle is the best yet when there is a leaf shortage.
