Aside from being one of the most interesting threads in a while(LOL), Poopsicles make pretty good projectiles when you run over them with a snowblower.
It's not as convenient to go outside and cleanup during the winter but I do prefer this season for the cleaning up job.
Once the snow covers it up, just forget it, I can't find anything until the snow melts. That's why our kids play in the snow in front yard. At least it's "clean" snow!
My dog loves "poopsicles". I guess he's into recycling. I have to watch him like a hawk or he will pick them up and bring them in the house! Yuk! He doesn't like them once they've thawed!
