    Doing the Doo-Doo

    I'm not sure where the venom is coming from regarding the poop-scooping business. How much different is this than hiring someone to mow your lawn, to clean your house occasionally, to give you a massage, to wash your car, or to serve you food in a restaurant? I'm not living on the prairie - I don't have to do everything myself! Paying someone to perform a service is hardly a sign of moral decay. And besides, it allows all of those who provide the service to earn an honest living.

    Someone like my mother, for example. She is recently widowed, and has three dogs who produce a lot of poop. I think this would be a great service for her. She's cleaned up enough crap in her life.
