Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

One beautiful, sunny day, our dog Chase and I were enjoying a long walk when he had to go. Luckily I had a Ziploc bag, so I turned it inside out and picked up after him. We continued down the sidewalk, leash in my one hand, bag in the other.

Then a huge Waste Management garbage truck pulled up next to me. A big guy yelled out the window, “I’ll pull her up, throw it in!” “Really? Thanks!” I yelled back.

So he inched this gargantuan truck a little forward, stopped and watched in the side mirror to make sure I got the bag in. Then he waved as he drove away.

One heck of a pooper scooper.
