Melting Snow Reveals More Than Just Secrets
March 8, 2008
Were I to come into a large sum of money, the amount of money where I would start hiring People for things, the very top of my list would be for someone to scoop my dog's poop.
If I were to advertise for such a person, perhaps to clean the back yard four times a year, how much should I offer to pay? What amount could I dangle that would convince someone to do this horrible job for me, yet not so much that I would go broke hiring them? Would I pay this person hourly or for the entire job?
Barring that, how do I convince Lacey to stop pooping?

two words,
toilet training.
(hey, it works for cats)
Most folks go with weekly service. Every three months is a little infrequent! Drop me an email with your zip code, I can probably find a scooper for you!

Jeff, a professional scooper!
I happen to know a kid that is looking for small jobs - constantly - and is a very efficient worker. I'll pass your number along. Until then, a cork would be the only other option.
John, would this be the same kid who has still yet to inform me that my Girl Scout Cookies are in her house? Despite my COOKIE WITHDRAWL?
And only after seeing Jeff's comment above does Steve inform me that there are indeed scooper services in town.
