The glamour of pet ownership

We bought a new pooper scooper the other day. As I was assembling it this morning I noticed the picture on the box of the happy, well-dressed woman demonstrating how to "scoop". Nice yellow cardigan, little blue skirt and shoes that appear to be heels. Having a beagle as a pet (and being a relatively normal person), I would certainly never dress in this fashion when I go out to pick up dog crap. If you notice her dog in the background, it is a Saint Bernard. Are you kidding me?!?! Good luck lady.

What amazning observational skills you have, or you have tooooo much time to look at the label. It looks like a device from the 50's.

Look at it this way. They did not spend much money on updating their packaging - saving you money on the purchase!

Can't wait to see your new pooper scooper ;)

You could pose for their label and be the new lady with the pooper scooper. Show them how it should be done. Put on gloves, boots, air mask, etc.

Funny...our pooper-scooper looks more like a 10 year-old with a garden rake and a bucket!!
