If you are talking about "an occasional" poop that you see
sitting there, and you take out of the garden and dump elsewhere, sure..
but don't turn it in, Jim.. there is really just too much of a chance of
disease.  There have been times when I've had to do that.. I've had to do
it already to one of my garden beds where the fencing broke down a little,
and Toby got in it and left a present .. but I would never turn
it in.  I SEE what that idiot eats haha.. Seriously, think about the ecoli
this year in the spinach in California.. where do you think that came from?

Take care,
Janis
