Dorm Rules!
At our last meeting we went over many rules that must be followed when living in the dorms. Here are some of the ones we went over last Wednesday:
1. The puppies always have to wear their blue bandannas. If they are not wearing the bandannas access to many places on campus may be denied.
3. All waste goes into the dumpsters, not the small trash cans.
4. If someone else is puppy sitting for you, they must watch the puppy in your approved room. Kathy also must know when someone else will be watching your puppy.

When you say "all waste goes into the dumpsters", are you talking about puppy poo? If so, you should really learn how to collect it so you can flush it down the toilet. It's so easy, you won't believe you haven't been doing it before. And the toilet is designed to get rid of poo so it goes into the sewage processing system. And if you flush it, you only have the empty poop bag to contend with. If you like, I could do a series of photos showing how and put them on my blog with basic instructions. I've been doing this for 15 years and I can't believe everyone doesn't flush!
I guess my assumption is that it would just be easier to throw it away since you are already outside. We suggest this to our group I guess indstead of having to carrying it around the dorm campus. If there is an easier way please let me know and I will pass this information on to our club.
I collect the poop in a little plastic sandwich bag, the kind that comes with twist ties. Once I have collected the poop, I tie a loose knot in the top or you could use the twist ties too (I just found them fiddly to carry). Small bags are easier to carry, to pick up with and to deal with all around. I know a lot of people use grocery bags but they are just too big and the poop gets all over them. I like the nice, neat package of a small sandwich bag.
Then you just carry it around with you until you are near a toilet. When you get to a toilet, you undo the top of the little bag, grasp the poop in the palm of one hand (outside the bag of course), roll the top of the bag down on the outside so it doesn't get covered in poop (and the top of the bag covers your hand too) and then reverse the action whereby you picked up the poop in the first place, thus releasing the package of poop into the toilet. Flush. This method allows you to smooth out the poop bag and tie a knot in the top of it so the smell doesn't get out and toss the now empty bag in the garbage. If you shake the bag inside down and let the poop slide out, it gets all over the inside of the top of the bag and then you can tie a clean knot in the open end. Once you get the hang of this (which should take all of one try), it is the most efficient, clean and practically invisible way of dealing with dog poop.
