Yeah, I can't help but feel superior when I'm walking around my lawn with a plastic bag on my hand picking up dog poop.
Feeling superior to the dog? Because rest assured, my friend. The cat is openly laughing at both of you.

Our back yard is about 1/2 an acre, and my two tend to use the 40 or 50 feet closest to the house, so it gets "cluttered". I usually just pick it up before I mow for the most part (unless it's winter, or really dry like now and I'm not mowing as often), then I try and do it about once a week.You must live in town. Out here it's "watch your step, we have 3 dogs"! 'course it helps that the back yard is 3 1/2 acres!

I always get that line from Joe Walsh's "Ordinary Average Guy" running through my head while I do it...
"And every Saturday we work in the yard. Pick up the dog doo, hope that it's hard. We're just ordinary average guys."
Back in the day we lived on a city lot, I used to pay the neighbor hood kids $5 to fill up one of those double sized corn flakes box. I usually never had any kid offer to do it twice though for some reason. And I hear ya on the 40 or 50 feet, 3 1/2 acres and they only seem to use the 1/2 acre immediately adjacent to the house.
I just rubber band a plastic grocery bag on my right hand (after checking to make sure there are no holes in the bag!) and carry another one in my left hand. As far as the area of coverage, in the winter, or when it's really raining a lot like this spring/early summer, then the "debris field" is smaller, which is good and bad. Good is that I don't have to search the whole yard, bad is that I don't get the chance to stand up straight!
