Pooper scooper. As in dog poop. $10 per visit mostly, but up to $20 per visit depending on # of dogs & frequency of service.

So.... Yep, I drive a pickup around in neighborhoods where people clearly have more dollars than sense. Makes for some pretty sweet CurbCo at times.

I wondered if people really paid for the service ....good to know since I'm already cleaning up a fair amount of it anyway from my own mutts.

I work as an on-call personal assistant. I do odd jobs for clients - make airline appointments, phone calls, write letters and emails that they don't have time for or don't want to be bothered with- and often at the very last minute! Recently I wrote a humorous poem for an invitation. Sometimes I do research. Sometimes I pet sit - now I'm going to investigate the poop scooping angle.

In addition to that, I am writing a murder mystery - two of the characters are very unsavory - they are scrap metal thieves !

Retired. I do what I feel like until I'm tired of doing that. Then I go do something else. Then I take a break.

Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, Pool & Spa's. Gold & Silver refining.

Buyer of computer parts and precious metals bearing material.

Scraping is a byproduct of my work that generates more cash flow.

Snodley (my ex partner) opened one of those up here, it's a big thing up in Ft Wayne where they have real, real nice housing additions. At least 2 companies up there.

Too many blue collar workers around here, Snodley just could not get it going good.
There is even some chemicals that when sprinkled on it (poo) will break it down a lot faster, what cannot be picked up.

I personally would wait till it snowed good then go out and spray paint them florescent orange,,,lol

Glad I'm not the only one who sees money in people to lazy to pick up after their dogs.

You can see my baby girl guarding the traveling cooler in my avatar. She's a sweetie less ya try an open that cooler without permission. :P



Sirscrapalot - Picks up after his dogs, unlike the majority of other people on his sandbar. Grr.

She's precious. And well-trained! You gotta protect that cooler - beer doesn't grow on trees!

Sometimes. But if I gave it too much thought, it'd drive me crazy.

I go to High School full time and I scrap part time.
