AH, SPRINGTIME...
... the birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, and your yard is a minefield of dog poop. The Poop Scoopin' Boogie is real and it's waiting for you outside the back door. Yes, our furry friends bring us joy and love, but they also bring their fair share of messes. Don't worry though, I've got some ideas to help you get your yard in tip-top shape and have a few laughs along the way.
First things first, let's talk about the elephant in the room (or the poop on your lawn): cleaning up after your dog.
It's not a glamorous job, but someone's gotta do it. Make sure you're equipped with plenty of poop bags and a strong stomach, lift with the legs, and go easy on your back. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you could even invest in a poop scooper or rake . This video on the Little Stinker poop rake has some quality tips and bad jokes on making your cleanup easier.
Next up, let's tackle those pesky urine burns in the grass.
If your dog is anything like mine, they like to mark their territory in the most inconvenient places. Luckily, there are a few ways to help prevent and treat those yellow patches in your lawn. If you would like to teach your pup to go in one spot or area, check this video about the Pee Post, a weird product that might be a very good solution to protect your lawn.
Dog Rocks
If your grass is getting damaged you can try watering the area immediately after they go to help dilute the urine, or check out this video about Dog Rocks, another kind of strange product that works really well to protect your dad lawn.
If you already have urine burns, you can try patching the grass with a grass seed mixture specifically designed for high traffic areas. And if all else fails, you can always embrace the dead grass and turn it into a modern art installation.
Cleaning up after our furry friends can be a dirty job, but with a little humor and some helpful tips, it doesn't have to be a chore. Just remember to stay positive, take breaks when you need to, and don't be afraid to ask for help. After all, a clean yard is a happy yard (and a happy nose).
