My Vote.


A. Pick it up and throw it into the hopper like it was the last one I had.

I'm sure come March or April, I'll wish I had all those escapees as I only purchased 3 ton. And besides, dog won't eat em.
 
Wouldn't feel right not to throw it into the hopper. With my luck my 14 month old niece would eat them as we don't have a dog.

Pop 'em in my mouth like peanuts, but they taste like chicken. ;-P
 
Depends. If I see one pellet while vacuuming, I just vac
it up otherwise probably pick it up and in the hopper it goes.
 
Pick it up and throw it into the hopper before the dogs get to it...my dogs will eat it!
 
I would rather pick it up before the dog eats it than after.
 
A & B ; it depends on how hairy my floor is. (4 dogs, none of them are pellet pickers)

I was thinking about it this afternoon as I was cleaning up last night's pellet spillage & wondered how long it would take for someone to post this question.
 
I found one in my bed one night. Must have stuck to dog foot. LOL That one actually ended up in the trash.
 
Definitely forward it directly to the hopper. Absolutely zero tolerance for deserters here.
 
Same here, I "Pick it up and throw it into the hopper like it was the last one I had".

Macman...add it to your morning cereal, increases you fiber intake ;-)
 
I pick em up and throw them in the hopper.
My labs will eat anything they find that is not nailed down.

Dipping into the sauce again? That is my chicken line.

Nah....don't like dipping them into sauce...rather save the sauce for pasta. I eat my pellets straight....like a man ( or a chicken?)
 
If you are a real cheap skate, you sift the ash pan and use them bugger again.
 
my puppy finally figured out they are not dog food :) I had been mixing some corn in with pellets, we have had over 70" of snow this year, so the corn is going to the squirrels and rabbits.
