Springtime yard cleanup

I recently shared how our backyard becomes a veritable minefield over the course of a winter. 

You whose households include two overgrown dogs with healthy appetites and a marked disinclination to venture any further than necessary from the house when nature calls and there are two or three feet of snow on the ground find yourselves, I'm sure, in a similar situation.

As soon as the snow melts but before the grass starts to grow - a window of approximately 45 minutes sometime in April - the wise pet owner embarks on some preliminary yard cleanup.

The wiser pet owner orders her children to do it.


Aren't they wonderful?


They hardly complained at all.


There's Thing One in mid-moan while his sister diligently shovels.


And here's an utterly disgusted Thing Two...


... very offended by the state of her shoes.


New family tradition:  the apres-poop-walk shoe care clinic...?
