It's maddening! I have two of the little tiddlers here (dachshunds) and they leave their doggy landmines everywhere. I cannot count the number of times I have stepped in dog shit in the past year. Every day or so I go out in the yard peering around with a gardening tool and a shovel at the ready, looking for their latest contributions. One blessing...they are sooooo damn lazy that they won't bother going beyond a certain fairly confined radius to do their thing. There is no danger whatsoever of them messing up the neighbours' yards. Ha! Much too far away for these little sods. Too much effort involved.

The worst is when you wear those work boots with the deep treads...those things collect dog shit like a magnet collects iron filings and they're hell to clean afterward.
