I agree with Evan & Tedi. Lets get real. When amongst GSD folks.......while eating........discussion includes the stool, etc., etc., etc. My solution for pickup is to sprinkle with shavings, (carpet or outdoors). That will absorb the liquid part, then scoop up, and then treat & clean. And don't let it get in your way...................................

Tedi says you are not truly a shepherd person until you can pick up the runs and eat a sandwich at the same time. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
