Dog Doo Made Easy
On rainy or snowy days our Monroe Evening News comes in nice long plastic bags. We save these bags and put them to use any time we need to move doggy doo.
Put your hand in the bag and pick up a small portion of the doo. As you pull your hand out of the bag, keep grasping the doo and invert the bag so it stays inside, and the outside of the bag is clean. Tie off the opening and put a label on it so your vet can tell which dog you are having tested for worms. If you have more than one dog you can take a small sample from each animal or mix them together. (As a general rule, if one of your dogs has intestinal parasites, they all do.)
If you are cleaning up the yard and find a shovel hard to maneuver, just slip one of these over your hand and start picking up the piles. It helps if you take along a garbage can with a plastic bag already in it to drop your doo into. When you are done, slip the bag off and you have stayed clean!
And finally stuff these bags into a pocket or fanny pack anytime you take your dog for a walk. If an accident happens, you are ready. They take up little space and are a life saver when you need them. Good dog owners pick up after their pets and leave no trace of their pets when they walk by. Isn’t that what you expect your neighbors to do for you?

I have heard about some families that when there pet dies they have been taking them to Merkle Funeral Service for cremation.
What a great thing to know and to have. I think its great to have a funeral home care so much about everyone in my family.
I took a little trip to talk to them about this service and you can tell they love to help people. Has anyone out there heard of this?

This something I think is great we have a funeral home that will care for your pet when they die. Merkle Funeral Service will have your pet cremated for you. This the second post I have made and I’m not to good with computers and I do not see my other post. Please it you read this please let me know what you think.

I think that this is a great service too. We cremated our last Boxer Logan when he passed on. Then we took his ashes to his favorite park and spread them there. It added closure to life and meant a lot to us as a family.

But can you see how this would be great for people who’s pet dies at home they will pick them up from there home and you don’t have to worry
about what to do at that time… One of my pets died at 11:00 at night and I wish I could of had someone to call like them…..

I didnt realize that they would come and get your deceased pet. That is a very nice thing to do. I hope they advertise more and get the word out about this new service they are offering.

Maybe we should call them and tell that not to many people know that… Lisa do you have any pets now.
