The Sha-Poopie story
by Dan Shalhoub, inventor
Early in 2004, my wife Karen enlightened me with, "We're getting a dog." I didn't want a dog, but the next thing I knew I was handed a leash and told that it was my job to walk the dog. I now had Pippin, a pure bred West Highland Terrier, at the end of the leash, and we took our first walk together. Suddenly he stops and does what all dogs must and I had the dubious honor of picking up his poop. My bad back wasn't liking the way I had to squat down and pick up the mess with a plastic bag. I thought, "There has GOT to be an easier way!" I searched several pet stores, looked on line and through catalogs but couldn't find anything for the task. "After the fact" products were all I could find, but what I wanted was a "preemptive", catch-it-in-the-act product. Since I couldn't find one, I invented one...
...The SHA-POOPIE!
Sha-Poopie FAQ
Q. What is the Sha-Poopie?
A. The Sha-Poopie is a light-weight aluminum telescoping handle with a specially-designed cup that takes the bother out of picking up after your dog.
Q. How does it work?
A. When your dog is about to "do his business", simply pull out the telescoping handle and position it under the dog, and "catch it in the act". Then, simply push the handle on the ground to retract and then snap the lid on the liner and dispose.
Q. How do the liners work?
A. Simply snap the liner onto the rim of the cup. It will stay firmly in place until you want to dispose of the liner.
Q. What if my dog won't "go" in the cup?
A. Don't worry; be patient. At first your dog may be a bit "concerned" by the Sha-Poopie, but with a little practice he will get used to it. We recommend that at first you use the Sha-Poopie fully extended.
Q. For which size dog is the Sha-Poopie best suited?
A. The Sha-Poopie is designed for dogs ranging in size from 10 to 70 lbs.
Q. What happens if my dog "goes" more than once on his walk?
A. You know your dog's potty habits best. If he goes more than once, don't close the lid. The Sha-Poopie is designed so that the contents won't fall out when walking.
Q. Where can I get replacement liners?
A. Right here on the Gadget Nation Store!
