Most of Erie's real life happens out back — the fenced yard, the dog, the gate that swings a hundred times a summer. Erie Pooper Scoopers works that ground, keeping yards clean and cut, trimmed along the fence line, edged where turf creeps over the patio. On a bright high-plains morning with the peaks sharp along the west, a back yard you can cross barefoot turns out to be worth a surprising amount. Cleanups clear the corners that fill with blown debris all winter long. It is humble work, and the household notices the difference every single day.
