Swoop In to Scoop the Poop
If you don't like handling poop — but don't hate it enough to buy a PooTrap — here's another way for you to be a hands-off, responsible dog owner. The Swoop Dog Poop Scooper ($20) and Swoop Mini Pooper Scooper ($18) lets a plastic mechanical hand do your dirty work. Fitting either their special biodegradable bags, or your ordinary grocery store variety, attach the sack on the bottom and it grabs and bags the waste keeping your hands completely clean.
Bare Bones: Poop-See Scoop
You'll have to pardon the pretty ridiculous name on this product — maybe they weren't thinking when naming the Poop-See Scoop. But, it will prevent those lil mistakes by shining a beacon on your cat's business. If that's what you want.

Found! Sarah Michelle Gellar's Skull Dispenser
Mama-to-be Sarah Michelle Gellar still takes rather good care of her first furkid, Tyson. Between trips to the vet and walks around town, no prepared lady would find herself without protection and this time, the pup helps carry his own business bags in a rockin' carrier.
The black dispenser with skulls ($6) makes a stylish addition, although she leaves the bonus roll off and simply uses the Velcro straps to attach it to his lead.
When Poop Hits the Pool
Any child of the 80s will have a hard time forgetting the Baby Ruth scene from Caddyshack. But contrary to Bill Murray's declaration, it is a big deal when a tot poops in a pool. The dark matter can spread bacteria like E.
The Poop on Pregnancy and Motherhood
Prior to pregnancy, most women roll their eyes at potty talk. That is until they hear rumors of all kinds of expectant surprises. Even the most reserved ladies end up talking about poop at some point.
Two Bucks Reduces Clutter When Reusing Shopping Bags
Even though plastic bags were outlawed at San Francisco supermarkets and retail pharmacies back in November 2007, there are still stores that offer these bags –– or compostable alternatives – with takeout or other purchases. Since, I want to make the most of those bags I do take while out and about, I'm storing them in this pretty pink Rationell Variera dispenser ($2) from IKEA.
That way, when I'm not toting a leash with a Bags On Board or BonTon attached, I can stash one of these sacks in the drawer of his carseat or carrier pocket and eliminate clutter under my sink to continue Spring cleaning even when the season's over.

How Often Do You Clean the Litterbox?
Whether you're a one-cat gal or a more felines, more fun type, I'm curious how often you change the kitties' box. For this poll, I don't mean how often you scoop the poop, but how frequently you replace all the litter. I've heard different answers from friends with the same number of cats, so now I want to hear it from you.
The Scoop: How Dogs (and Wolves) Pick Potty Places
If you've got a male dog, I'm betting you notice his gravitation to certain spots to do his business – North has his favorite hydrant and lamp posts in our neighborhood. I knew about the reasoning behind marking, but a new study takes that one step further. It explains that dogs aren't just choosing the same spots, they pick prominent urban landscape features that "maximize visual impact and odor distribution."Not to get too graphic here, but this study is the first to examine the poop side, looking at fecal marking of wild wolves to see how choices can tell others about territory control, mating status, and more.
