Top 10 Funny Things We’ve Found While Scooping Poop

By YardBuddyNC.com – Pet Waste Removal in Hendersonville, NC

At YardBuddy, we’ve seen it all. While most people think pet waste removal is all work and no laughs, the truth is—we’ve found some pretty hilarious things hiding in the grass.

Between the squeaky toys, random socks, and “how-did-this-get-here” moments, scooping poop comes with more surprises than you’d expect.

So, whether you’re a dog parent, a fellow scooper, or just here for a good laugh—here are our Top 10 Funniest Finds While Scooping Dog Poop in Hendersonville, NC and beyond.

🧸 1. A Half-Eaten Burrito

No, it wasn’t poop… but it was suspicious at first glance. Found in a backyard near downtown Hendersonville. We’re still wondering if the dog brought it home—or if it was a delivery gone wrong.

🧦 2. Seven Socks – None Matching

Yes, all in one yard. We started joking that the family’s dryer must teleport single socks into the backyard. The dog clearly had a fashion sense... just not a coordinated one.

🐍 3. A Rubber Snake (That Scared Us!)

Pro tip: When you’re scooping poop and see a coiled “thing” near your scoop zone, your heart skips. Turns out it was a prank toy from the family’s 10-year-old. Well played, kid.

🧜‍♀️ 4. A Mermaid Barbie Missing an Arm

We scooped up poop right next to her, but couldn’t leave her behind. We gave her a proper backyard rescue. May she rest in plastic peace.

🕹 5. A Nintendo Switch Controller

Yup. An expensive one, half buried under leaves and grass clumps. The owner was VERY happy we found it.

The dog? Probably not.

🎅 6. A Chewed-Up Santa Hat… in July

No holiday is safe when your dog loves chewing up decorations. This one was buried under some dog droppings—talk about Ho Ho - No.

🦷 7. A Denture

Yes, an actual partial denture. We asked the owner... it was Grandma’s. She’d been missing it for 3 days. The dog apparently thought it was a chew toy.

🐸 8. A Garden Gnome Wearing Sunglasses

Perfectly intact, just sitting in the corner like he was guarding a sacred pile. We left him exactly where he was—with a salute of respect.

📱 9. A Cell Phone from the Early 2000s

How it got there? No idea. Why it still existed? Also no idea. But it was under a pile, and we gently rescued it with gloved hands and horror.

🦴 10. A Dinosaur Bone (Okay, It Was Just a Huge Chew Toy)

At first glance, it looked like a fossil. After closer inspection, it was just a very realistic dino-themed chew bone… but for a moment, we felt like poop-scooping archaeologists.
