Woman Returns Dog Poop to Yard of Customer Who Refused to Pay

In most cities in the US, you can find someone who will come to your house and pick up after your dog. Seems kind of silly to folks in the rest of the world we're sure, but another great example of the American entrepreneurial spirit. Our question has always been: what happens if you don't pay your bill? What are the pooper-scoopers going to do? Huh?

Once deadbeat in Bend, Oregon found out this week (link includes great video of the poop-flinger explaining her actions.):
A dispute between a Bend dog owner and a dog waste removal service got more than a little messy this week, when The Bomb Squad went from collecting - to depositing.  Melinda Hofmann, owner of The Bomb Squad dog waste pick-up service, tried to collect a $150 payment from Deborah Dillow on Monday night. When Dillow didn't answer the door, Hofmann went to her truck to write another notice - but she quickly changed her mind.

"I started to go back and write another note, but I just decided to give her poop back," Hofmann said Wednesday. So then, from the back end of her truck, Hofmann started slinging feces - 30 gallons of it, according to police - onto Dillow's front yard.  Hofmann admitted she wasn't exactly thinking rationally at the time, but that didn't stop her.  "Actually, once I started doing it, I kind of lost all rational thought together and I just got into this mode of emptying bags," she said. "And as I was flinging the poo all over her yard - it felt really good, and I just kept doing it."

Hofmann has been making a living picking up other people's dog poop for about 10 years.

Not only do dog poop bags come in handy when you're on a walk, but they can also be convenient for cleaning up in your own yard.
Having a dog waste bag can make cleaning up easy, no matter what the poop is like. It's as simple as putting your hand in the bag and picking it up with your protected hand, then tying the bag shut and tossing it in your garbage.

Thanks for sharing,
