My wife and I have gotten into the habit of exercising our dog in our back yard before we go for a walk. If he has a movement on the way throwing a ball for him for a couple of minutes will usually get things going to the point where he takes care of business before the walk. But just in case we carry poop bags with us when we take him for a walk.
In case you haven't heard me brag about this before ... we have a 25' x 25' area in one corner of our back yard that is surrounded by railroad ties and filled with pea gravel. When we first brought Hans home as a pup we started taking him out there on a leash every time we took him out to relieve himself.
We did this for months until one day when we were playing fetch he dropped the ball and ran into the pea gravel on his own and relieved himself. He's almost 3 now and the only place he goes in our yard is in the pea gravel.

I would love to see ANY dog allow that plastic bag to be hanging there like that! I would be more embarrassed in public with people seeing that than picking up the poop myself!!
Man does this point out the decline of the country. We went from the vegomatic to the pocket fisherman, then dipped low with the spray on hair. Now this. How bad can it get?
After reading some of Ed Frawleys' comments on Raw food, I looked around at whoat kind of Raw food I could obtain. I don't have any information on how to mix vegatables with meat or what the mix should be. Further, it is my understanding that lamb is the easiest on the stomach - although my dog seems to have no problem consuming most any thing.

Bones are a critical part of any raw diet, so many people (probably most) rely on poultry or rabbit for the RMB part, but lamb can certainly be part of the protein variety. Lamb flaps, for example, are often reasonable in price, along with lamb neck.
You are certainly on the right board for help with a fresh diet, because there are many very knowledgeable and experienced members here.
