Poop solution!

After my last post, it occurred to me to search the internet for a poop service. If it's anywhere, it's in Portland, and by golly it is! Green Pet Compost Co., hallelujah. For almost $5/week, they give you a bucket and some compostable bags and pick up the poop you've collected weekly. For significantly more $, they'll even come and pick up the poop from the yard themselves. I signed up and am awaiting a call. I'm too proud to pay somebody to pick it up from the yard, but yay for somebody driving it away. I just can't live with myself any longer (back of hand to forehead, lashes quivering) sending several pounds of dog poop a week to the landfill in plastic bags. I've read they can break open and squirt poop on the garbage collectors when they (the plastic bags) get smushed in the truck's gaping maw, and they don't get much chance to decompose while buried in a landfill.

I also found instructions for building your own poop composter at home, but really, as wet as it is all nine months of rainy season, I can't see how that would work very well re drainage into soil. Besides, I'm loath to dig a garbage-can size hole in the mud and could probably procrastinate on that for many months.

Gee, I'm sorry I have no poop photo to accompany this post. It's raining outside (and dark).
