ok, I bought the big giant jaws pooper scooper before i got Dillon thinking that this would be what i would use to clean up his pen area. Well i used it once, hated it , way too big to do such a small job, not like i was cleaning up after a horse! So i started just using bags. I have tried many bags and the one i like the best are 100% biodegradeable and 100% compostable black bags called Biobag Dog waste bags -
www.biogroupusea.com and they can be bought at petco ( in my area anyway). I have them in my purse, my car, on the "Time for a walk" corgi leash holder by the door where we go for our walks so they are easily accessable, and i always have them in my treat bag that goes with me on every walk so I am never caught off guard without a bag.
The second part, when Dillon was getting the runs more frequently I too, had to wipe him afterwards - in the summer he got a little spritz from the hose when he was a bit less than clean! Now that i have added a spoonfull of pumpkin to his food, he has not had the runs since and now i do not need to ever wipe his bum...what a treat for me... ( I used to have to keep papertowels bunched up in the treat bag , a roll in the car, one in the garage for clean up purposes before he would come back in the house. and now, no need for that).
