Michelle, I think you think too much. I am not starting my day any earlier than I do now. There are one or two dogs that wait until everyone poops and then they clean up the stragglers. It works for me, and I dont have to disinfect my pooper scooper again. barbarar Michelle Crawford wrote: >For the people who say that they can't patrol their kennel after the dogs= eat because they have to leave for work: Start your day earlier so that = you do have time! Leaving poop in the kennel all day invites pests and pa= rasites to your dogs. Just putting an additive into your dog to make the poop distasteful is not a solution as it does not prevent pests and parasi= tes. Which also brings to mind an interesting question... Who determines = what is distasteful to a dog that eats poop? How is this determined? > ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
