Thanks for all your replies. My wife spends more time w/ our dog (since
I commute to work far away , and 'midnight' (poodle) is such a darling
(she's got me trained almost like my daughter has -- and I can't bring
myself to discipline her.. she's such a baby . She does tend to go
after our cats, but that's another story..

Anyways.. I'll walk behind her w/ a seed bag for now and follow up on
some of the links people have suggested.
