Animal Waste Specialist? Licensed by the State of Oregon? For Doing What???

KVAL
Picking up dog doo!!!!

Eugene -
Most dog owners would say cleaning up their pooches poop isn't their favorite job, so one local woman has made it hers.
Amy Siddon started "Scoop Da Doo" dog waste removal service about a month ago. The recent University of Oregon graduate is a dog lover who wanted to start her own business doing something outside and helping people.
The service costs $10 to $15 a week depending on how many dogs you have, how big your yard is and how often you want a pick up.

Siddon is certified by the Association of Professional Animal Waste Specialists and is licensed by the State of Oregon. For more information call Scoop da Doo at (541) 913-7056.

When I heard about this on the news the other night, I thought it was really great that somebody came up with the initiative to start a new business but then it came to a shock to me that they had to be licensed by the State of Oregon.

Well, the licenses fitting of the job. You can fill in the blanks on that comment.

I have used this service in Sherwood Oregon.
As a dog owner, it is the best $10 a week I have ever spent!
Now I live in Newberg and I have to scoop my own yard...
Sad...
But to have to get a licence from the state for this is a crock of sh**

The saddest part of this story is that she has a college degree. Being a student myself, I'd say she wasted 4 years and a lot of money, probably government grants, to be a pooper scooper.As far as a license goes - I think it should be required of parents instead of every stupid thing on the planet. (fish,hunt,drive,cook,build,demolish,work,play,etc,etc,etc.)
