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

7. My grandpa used to put out poop flags in his yard

We lived across the street we would come over with our dog to visit. He (another GSD exhibitionist pooper) would leave a gift and my grandpa would mark the spot with one of those flags you see that mark gas lines and stuff. It was a reminder that we had to come back and pick it up.

One day my mom and I went to the hardware store and bought a ton of those little flags and spend the morning putting them all in his backyard (just to be clear, my grandparents were like parents to me and we played jokes on each other often). We called him and my grandma to come outside to see the sea of waving little pink flags. Then we yelled "one is real!" and ran off.

It was awesome and that day is an epic tale in a long history of family jokes!
