Only because it reminds you that you need to go and clean up your dog's muck in your back yard, right?
Probably let your mutt lick your face as well.
Hope you've taken your worming pills.

I don't get any of it. Why you buy a nice wouse with a nice yard so your dog can schit all over it. Or why you buy a nice house to have a cat schit in some corner in a box. Hello - you have a box of cat schit and piss sitting in your house...hello!
I have to agree - title of this thread = NO.
Arborists love working outdoors and dog schit is a part of the outdoors. Gotta take the good with the bad

I say YES. Dog do is not the 'great outdoors'. Wild animals would never be so careless as to crap as openly as dogs do. I love dogs, but they aren't exactly cut out for the 'great outdoors'. Some are, but most yard dogs aren't, I'm sure.
Nobody needs it. We aren't gardeners or cleaners. We are skilled professionals and we don't carry toxic waste handling equipment for the simple reason that we shouldn't have to put up with the poo.
If you don't mind it, enjoy it, but I think it's safe to say that you're in the minority.

I just got nailed by a lawyer/ slum lord on the grass too high issue. We did a massive removal of ten large dead ash trees on a property that hadn't been given any attention to in years. The grass was well above our shins. Obviously the cleanup job was not spectacular. She demanded that I remove 100 dollars from the invoice for the poor- cleanup. Not only that, there was poison Ivy that was covering three of the trees. I did not remove or chip any of the poison ivy. (I am still scratching a week later, it actually got in my mouth as I was spurring up one of the trees)
Her being a lawyer I did not even bother arguing. She had already talked me down prior to doing the job and then to further talk me down after not completely removing the sticks from a lawn that had not been mowed in months... Ugg!!! I smiled, said thank you and made a mental note of who not to do work for EVER AGAIN!
Got to roll with the punches. and next time lay it down in writing prior to working that it is impossible to rake knee high grass. watch out for lawyers too.

How can anyone drop there harness in dog [censored]? Do you not look and just sling it on the floor?
I have refused to work in some infested gardens and even offered to change the spec to cut and leave. I will not subject myself or my staff to haveing to carry brash instead of dragging it delicatley trying to avoid little dog presents
P.s. Tochmal, you have the charm and subtle touch of Grover. If you left your sense of homour at the door go find it or just ignore the user. This is a forum not a game of ego supremacy!!

I think most people pretty much do. It's not always a pretty little turd, either. Sometimes it's a subtle skid hidden in the leaf litter.

Sorry to hear she gave you a hard time over the clean up. I'll remember that story, thanks.

'Oral Ivy' tincture once a day and barrier foam rubbed on your skin thats going to be in contact with the stuff.

Ha ha, true renta...very true.

Sometimes it's in a relatively un-threatening frozen solid form in the morning, only to have become disarmingly soft but deadly in the afternoon.
Safest policy is to be alert to the threat...it could be anywhere.

Proffesionals or prima donnas; it's irrelevant. We don't like the turds and we're sick of falling foul of them.
Homeowners need to realise this and a fee system is an excellent way of dealing with them. It's 2 minutes with a pooper scooper for them, or a mood dampening surprise for us. I've noticed that morale is an important yet largely ignored factor in this game.
I'm sure we all charge extra for sh*tty jobs (e.g. chipping brush cut by homeowners, clearing ground infested with poison ivy or thorns) so why not charge for literally sh*tty jobs.
Hold a flame to their banknotes. It's the only language people understand.

LMAO Rob!
Funny how this topic comes up once per year or so.
Unfortunately, I had an encounter with poo today. I could not believe what happened. As we were wrapping up gear I grabbed the GRCS bar. Little did I know I had set it in poo.
That was the first time in my life I had experienced a "freshy" on the hand.
