Turn dog poop into a better lawn!

[hollander]

When i walk my dog Mr Moe at night, I wear my old golf shoes with the metal spikes. After Mr Moe dumps his load i stomp it flat with my metal spike golf shoes, working it into the sod. next I reach into my pocket and drop a handful of grass seed onto the flattened poop, and again work the mixture into the current lawn! mr Moe is happy, I don't need to carry dog poop bags, and the home owner gets a new spot of grass for free! I make everyone happy and feel like Johnny Appleseed!
Soon i hope neighbors will ask for my services!
the Villages Number1 problem is solved!!!!:smiley:

It was in Monday's Daily Sun, that a resident complained about people not picking-up after their dogs.

Always a poopular thread. :popcorn: :popcorn:

A quick web browser search will take you to dozens of sites that will tell you that dog poop is not good lawn fertilizer and is, in fact, a health hazard if left on lawns. Dog poop, unlike cow manure, not only doesn't have the proper nutrients to be beneficial fertilizer, it has the potential for passing a variety of diseases to other dogs and to humans.

Puppies, in particular, are at high risk for being infected with the potentially deadly Parvo Virus.

Further, what kind of grass seeds are you leaving on the lawns of strangers; St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bahia ? All three types can be found in The Villages. Leaving the wrong kind would be unwelcome.

You might want to consider being a good, thoughtful neighbor and pick up after your dog. I'm sure it would be appreciated.

Not a very good idea!!!!!!! That is not good for grass. Especially when your doing it to someone else's lawn."Carl in Tampa" is right when it comes to diseases, not only to dogs, but humans too. Curious where you leave those shoes??? LOL We have a dog, but only poops on our lawn, and we pick up. We have little flags on sticks, so we know where it's at to pick up after bringing dog in. I've heard it all now!!!!! Wow

I will have to do a search on the Snopes Urban Legend site http://www.snopes.com for this or maybe take a pill to see if it looks the same after that!!! I suspect Barefoot is right and the IPO is pulling his dog's leg so to speak.

I agree, Bare, sounds like he's just getting us off to a good start this morning, LOL. :agree:

Here is a method that might work. :spoken: It would not fly with the Community Watch though. ;)

Everybody knows it's ok to dog poop in the neighbors yard and stomp around in your golf shoes and throw any kind of seeds you want to into it. I've heard that if the human waters the seed, which is easier for a man than a woman to do without getting caught, that the mushroom species that supports larval leprechauns will push themselves up within 3 days. Leprechaun gestation period being 21-27 days, there will be little green people everywhere by St. Patty's day.

OP, thanks for trying to put a bit of humor into a dog poop Thread. Some of the comments have been "over the top" lately. And they have come from dog owners and non dog owners. Both sides need to show a bit more "respect" IMHO.

I'm canceling Massey Green-Up and switching to Hollander Brown-Up

Good trolling! Started the day with a laugh!

No, I don't think so. Actually, you will find lots of folks who think this is a good idea. That is why you find so many web pages that try to correct this misconception.

While I am positive Hollander was spoofing, let me say (not joking) that when we had a yellow Lab back in PA, we had an invisible fence around our large property, and did NOT pick up our dog's poop. There was higher and greener grass in all the areas where he did his business. We never rolled around in our yard (who does?!), and we never got sick!

My husband worked for a kennel years ago, and the owner dumped all the excrement in a garden and the tomatoes were huge!

Here in TV, I walk my terriers on the road to a common area and always pick up and bag their business. I am tired of the dog poop threads and can't believe how irate people get over them... but I am always respectful of the people around me. I wish everyone was! I enjoyed the humor!

I'm thinking about starting a club for fellow dog walkers who want to stop picking up their dogs poop and would like to follow my golf shoes example. My estimate is about 100 new "grass planting spots" within a mile of my house already and if more villagers join me we might be able to cover the entire Villages!!

Hollander, stop teasing the other kids. :jester:
Go to the Principal's office right now.

Please, skip my house!

Landscape architect ads keep pooping up on my computer. Is this your group's doing Hollander? :ho:

[graciegirl]

Hollander. I had you in my class a long time ago and I THOUGHT I had you all straightened out.

[hollander]

Well today, being April Fools Day, is a good day to say of course the golf shoe/dog poop idea is just a joke! I joke about the dog poop threads because I have been blessed to live a long life. I am still married to my high school girlfriend, have been blessed with healthy children and grandchildren and if I went on with all the things I have to be thankful for I would be here for hours. So when I walk outside and the sky is blue, and I have been blessed with yet another wonderful day on this earth, I do not worry about the small things in life. So my suggestion is if you really find yourself getting your blood pressure up about a small pile of dog poop just relax, smile, take a deep breath and go on enjoying your day. Or just get a pair of your old golf shoes and some grass seed......:-) Happy April Fools Day Everyone!!
