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

9. all you can do is the best you can do

We've probably all been there with this problem before. I always feel badly about it, too, especially with a big dog (big dog = big poopy). I do my best to pick up what I can with the bag, but of course that doesn't work so well. I just do the best I can and then feel bad about it later, but what else can you do? If I know that he's likely going to have a drippy one then I try to walk him somewhere where he's not going to do it on someone's lawn, but it always seems that these things come as a surprise. I think as long as you make some kind of effort that's good enough. I still feel badly about it, but shit happens (no pun intended).
