What to Give the Dog Owner that has EVERYTHING??

By

If it wasn't for the post I read recently by Greg Nino: Interesting Facts About The Human Body.. -- and the delicate . . . hmmm . . . manner in which he states what coffee is good for -- I might not be suggesting this gift idea!

Pet Waste Management . . . putting it more to the point!

When I had a long-term medical issue, the chores really got to be too much for me.  I couldn't do it all.  I either was going to hire a housekeeping service, a mow and blow service, or a "pet waste management" service.

 

I opted for DOODY CALLS. 

I would have cleaned the house before the housekeeping crew showed up (I can't have people over with the house looking like THIS!!)

I love to work in my yard, and didn't want to stop having a chore to do outside.

But with two dogs . . . I opted for this LUXURY!!

My local guy, Alan, comes by every week.  Not only are the dogs happy to see him . . . me too!  We coordinated Alan's pick-up day to coordinate with the trash service, so I'm not stuck with a bag 'o poop for any length of time.   It goes straight into the trash bin, and out to the curb!

This is a GIFT ANYONE on your list will appreciate!  Even . . . YOU!!

GREAT FOR REALTORS(r)

  • Keep the Clients' YARD clean for showings
  • Do a one-time yard clean AFTER sellers move out (with their pets)
  • Give a year of service to your clients with dogs
  • Recommend this service to your clients with dogs (a nice SOI marketing idea??)
  • etc.

Trust me . . . you'll LOVE this -- one less -- chore.

Man people really have thought of everything.  We need a DIRTY JOBS episode on this.  I wonder if they are hiring, and if so I hope the pay is good!

Hi David . . . it is, indeed, a dirty job.  One I'm not about to do(ody) EVER again!!   Wonder if Mike Rowe would be up to it . . . ;-)

Carla - "(I can't have people over with the house looking like THIS!!)"  You just summed up why I never hired a cleaning person.

That's a great idea for people with small yards and large dogs!  And a good idea for agents too.  Aloha and happy holidays

Carla  ~ I must say, this is the first time I have read your posts and they are absolutely wonderful. Smart, witty and knowledgeable. Never heard of DOODY CALLS! I am thankful my dog is shy and goes in the woods and won't let anyone see him.
