A Day in the Life of Team Little Landmines!

When people ask us what we do for a living, we usually brace ourselves for the reaction.
“You do what?!”
“That’s a real job?”
“Oh wow... I bet that stinks!”
Yes, we know—it’s not glamorous. We’re not out here saving lives (unless you count saving your shoes from a tragic misstep), but as the hardworking team behind Little Landmines Pet Waste Removal, we take pride in keeping yards clean, pets happy, and customers very grateful.

So, what’s it really like to run a business where our whole job revolves around dog doo? Well, grab a poop bag and join us for a behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of our team!

1. The Daily “Treasure Hunt”. Most people start their day with coffee. We start ours with a game of Where’s the Landmine? We scan the yard, we strategize, we scoop—and just when we think we’ve conquered it all, the sneaky little surprises make themselves known.
Some yards are easy. Others? Let’s just say some dogs are overachievers. And if it’s been a while since the last cleaning… well, let’s just say we’ve seen things that can’t be unseen.

2. The Things Dogs Eat. We’re convinced that dogs have a secret competition to see who can freak us out the most. Over the years, we’ve scooped up evidence of chewed-up dolls, half-eaten socks, a random piece of spaghetti (why?), and even a $5 bill. (Yes, it was washed thoroughly before anyone considered using it.)
One of our personal favorites? A plastic dinosaur head, which made us wonder if we were cleaning up after a dog or Jurassic Park in someone’s backyard.

3. The Unwritten Rules of the Job. After years in the business, we’ve developed a few golden rules:
🐶 Never trust a wagging tail – It might mean “I love you!”… or it might mean “I just ate something I shouldn’t have, and I’m about to make your life harder.”

👟 Always double-check your shoes – One misstep, and your whole day takes a very smelly turn.

🌬️ Beware of the wind – Nature has a cruel sense of humor, and nothing humbles you faster than a gust of wind at the wrong moment.

🐾 Be prepared for an audience – Dogs love to watch us work, usually with an expression that says, “Why are you taking my stuff?”

4. The Real Perks of the Job. Despite the mess, our team loves what we do. Here’s why:
✔️ We work outside – Sure, some days we’re melting under the sun, and other days we’re bundled up like Arctic explorers, but there’s something great about not being stuck behind a desk.
✔️ We get to meet awesome pets (and people!) – Our customers are the best. Whether it’s the grateful pet owners or the dogs who greet us like long-lost friends, we truly enjoy being part of our clients' lives.
✔️ We save people from backyard disasters – Ever stepped outside and instantly regretted your life choices? Yeah, we prevent that. No more dodging landmines on the way to the grill—just a clean, poop-free yard to enjoy.
✔️ We’ve got the best team around – We don’t just scoop together—we laugh together, we support each other, and we take pride in the work we do. It may be a dirty job, but we’ve turned it into a business that makes a real impact (and gives us some hilarious stories to tell).

5. The Unexpected Fame. Believe it or not, being a professional poop scooper makes us weirdly recognizable. We can’t count how many times we’ve been at the store and someone yells, “Hey! You’re the poop people!”
Yep! Our legacy is making sure no one steps in disaster. And honestly? We’re proud of it.

6. Why We Love This Job. At the end of the day, we’re more than just a pet waste removal company. We’re a team of hardworking, community-driven folks who believe in making life easier for pet owners. We’re here to keep yards clean, shoes safe, and pets happy—one scoop at a time.
So, if you see us out there in your neighborhood, give us a wave! We’ll be the ones in the work boots, dodging doodles, and keeping things fresh (well… clean, at least).
And if your yard needs a little landmine removal, you know who to call! 🚀💩
