Yeah, the dogs go out back, but the yard is picked up daily, even in the snow. Although we can't always find the buried stuff, that shows up as the snow melts.
And of course when the yard is a swamp, the dogs get all filthy in the back yard because of the mud
I just looked at the 10 day forecast, more snow and cold coming again next week. So we'll go for Swamp of Sorrow round 5 this winter
