And for those of you spending a fortune on monthly heartworm meds, look into purchasing liquid Ivermectin from a cattle/farm coop. About $50 for a liter. Same ingredient in HeartGuard. Only takes a few drops once a month orally and is the same protection. Can't OD the dogs on it (well a gallon could I suppose), it has an indefinite shelf life. A liter will treat an average size dog for about 213 years. But you didn't hear this from me. 
If you don't believe me, check here for Heartguard active ingredients:

wow! i am going to forward this to my brother!! he is a slave to heartguard.
as for the dog krap issue. i bag it up with grocery bags, and toss it into the garbage. i dont have a dog now, but when i did, i just considered it a cost of doing business. i wouldnt huck it over any fence. still too close for my comfort.
now cat schit? that permeates the plastic of my garbage cans. they are scented forever. gross.
