Having go pick up all the dog E36 M3 after all the snow has melted. 
Luckily I have the procedure down well, so it doesn't take forever.

i expected mud. because there is mud everywhere.
This year's mud crop is going to be bountiful.

I thought that's what the first mow of the season was for?
I'm waiting for people to start whining about the pollen.
I'll happily sneeze all spring after this winter. 
Ohhhh, trust me, if you've got allergies, whining ain't no fun. It's hell.
My dog starts shedding and won't stop until August!

A lot of it is canine post-processed mud.
As for the dog fecal matter, i hose it down.
Allergies are terrible, thankfully Flonase is finally otc. Dog hair makes for decent fire starting material and compost matter so I deal with it.

Yeah, I'll live with the pollen.
No dogs (cats), so no poo to deal with.
There's still 6-12" of snow in my yard base, with 3-4' piles/drifts, so I won't be seeing big portions of my lawn for another week or so. I'll be curious what this does to the pollen timetable.
I had my lawn de-thatched by this time last year.
This thaw is a HUGE sigh of relief, though.
Funny, I put in about an hour into this same de-poopifying procedure earlier today (and before I read this.)
Luckily, just one 16 lb Cairn Terrier but it has been a long winter.
Still 1'+ in the open, but my dog has taken to pooping in the driveway so I have to watch out going to the car.
Ugh, I'm about 2/3 done with mine now. 2 greyhounds. I need to develop a back-friendly pooper scooper.
I'll do the rest tomorrow, planning to watch the F1 race while icing my back.
At least you can pick up dog crap. My yard has a bountiful supply of deer droppings. It doesn't pick up nearly as easily.

This. Hoever this year the gravel in my driveway has seemed to be taken away by the gravel knomes, because it has turned into a mud pit.
And yes, I have three dogs. All little. So luckily the area I cleared the snow away from for them to do their business is the worst offender.
Mud
Need about 3-4 ton of gravel for the driveway but it's just gonna sink into that black hole. Funny when I'm lookin' for used brick n block to bust up for a base it's never around.
All you guys poo-pooing pollen need to come south in a few weeks.
In reply to oldsaw:
Not looking forward to it. 
I'll go through a box of Kleenex in a day. It sucks.
Spring clean-up is still gonna be a while in my neck o the woods! (BTW - there is a pool somewhere off to the right!)
We're waiting for 6 weeks of frozen horse poop to thaw out
In reply to DaveEstey:
That's not something I'd really be waiting for. I personally would use words like "dread".
Incidentally, Frozen Horse Poop is my Wyld Stallyns cover band's name.

Wife's job is poop patrol. Have had 3 greys. Currently two rescue Salukis and a rescue Whippet. Another grey in our future no doubt. Great "dogs."
In reply to DaveEstey:
I feel your pain. One of our paddocks drains across our front lawn in the spring. The water pools in one spot we refer to it as poo lake. It only lasts a few days but it still sucks. Grass ends up nice and green though.

Yep, I can hardly wait for that. Lots of pine trees in my yard & in the neighborhood. My Mother will have it worse. We planted approx. 20 acres of pine trees on the north & west sides of her house 6 years ago. Prevailing winds should give her a real pollopcolypse.
