Pooper Troopers

K-9 Clean Up Service comes to town

Gales Ferry resident Anne Marie Beers stopped by my office today to place an ad in my "I Love Ledyard" newspaper.  I was fascinated by her new business, Pooper Troopers, which was born about 4 months ago. As advertised, Pooper Troopers "takes away what your dog leaves behind".  Anne Marie was a good sport and even laughed when I expressed my concern about what a crappy job she had. I suspect she's heard it a million times and my comment didn't come off as very original. Besides being a fun person, I loved the fact that Anne Marie donates a portion of every fee charged to our local animal shelter.  So if you don't have time or simply don't want to do the deed, give the Pooper Troopers a call at 860-464-2604. 

Fellow bloggers take note:  Please be kind with any comments.  I could only work with the material I was given.

It's a dog eat dog world out there and very cool to see such entrepreneurial spirit at work in Ledyard!  And this is not a crappy post :-)

As a matter of fact, that seems like a really cool idea!  I wish someone in my area had a service like that.  I hate doing the deed.

I'm waiting for Bob.  I'm sure he'll show up unless he's "pooped" and headed to bed early.

There certainly is great demand for this type of service.  I am surprise that our septic guys haven't gotten into this lucrative business.  One of my clients was just commenting how she hates to be dressed up in her suit on the way to work and having to carry her doggies' droppings to the garable bin!  Now that is a picture!

I heard about this type of business about two years ago.  I also heard that it is a very lucrative.

Hummmmm.........If you can't do the "Scoop" you shouldn't do the "Poop", or do I have that confused with "if you can't do the time you shouldn't do the crime." :)

I don't know whose idea it was for Bob to actually WORK, but by the time she showed up I was busy cleaning up after my dog.  "Jack" feels the need to puke somewhere in this house before he goes to bed.  I have the same problem as the rest of the dog owners, it's just that the debris comes out the other end.

Puke makes me puke... I'd rather pick up nuggets than wipe up "fresh" food.

Can we please keep the subject on poop?   Thank you for your consideration.

P.S.  Cute dogs Bob!

I'm still laughing.  Some jobs defy description, at least in print.

I had to laugh yesterday when my next door neighbors went out to remove the cow pods from their manicured lawn following a visit from our other neighbor's cows.

Very funny Lenn.  Living in the country has its moments!  I enjoyed your dog/deer blog the other day.  My husband just ran outside 5 minutes ago to scare the deer away from my hosta.  They think it is lettuce.

OK now that I actually read your post I do have one more thing to say. There is a porta potty company in my area and the sides of their trucks read: Are you ready for this?

"You float them we tote them"

This is an absolutely true story!!!!! Best slogan I've ever seen.

Bryant - very funny.  LOL

Carnac will return in July.  He took June off because there wasn't much good material.  Fortunately there was a flurry of good (stupid) stuff to add to the list in the past week or so.  I will personally give you a days notice.  How's that for special (and you are) treatment?

The followers of Carnac have officially gotten their panties in a bunch, knickers in a twist, whatever.

I'm still trying to figure the schedule out.  How does she meet up with her clients?  Is she on call?  Do they pre-pay the month or is it per scoop?  Why do I want so many details?  Is my real estate business failing?

Did anybody show this to Marianna? Bet she would pay to have them come out to the Springs.

I think it's hard enough being a REALTOR and getting paid after the service is complete.  I think I'd want paid in advance for dog poo or be on the paid-per-poo plan.  Where's Bob again?

Will she come to New London?  I have one little "friend" with an owner who doesn't believe in cleaning up after FIDO.  I can use her help.

Hey Linda.  you're always using these words, like poop and doodie. i thought i saw a booger on your other one!!  so i figured it was a nice time to use the line "for me to poop on"... as in "what a nice post for me to poop on".  :))  i kid you my dear Linda. i kid.

Here is my entry for a lean mean pooping machine..

he's super cool and international.

right now he's in his bed with all 4 in the air. what a life :)

Hmmm.  Thats interesting.  Pooper Troopers started in Seattle Wa and is registered at the United States Patent and Trademark office.  Did she purchase a franchise or did she copy what someone else has done?  Since they dont offer franchises I assume that she will be having to change her name soon.  I give her kudos for starting a poop scooping company, but she should probably check www.uspto.gov to see if the name she wants to use is already taken.
