I'm not sure what kind of scooper you got that works for a walk. I have a fantastic backyard scooper I got years ago for Merlin and I have been known to use it in the house on occasion.

I would absolutely wipe/pre-rinse if I still had a dishwasher, I don't blame you. I don't use TP for pickups, but that would work and be flushable. I mostly use dollar-a-box kleenex and walk out out to the trash, which is no problem.
She has been so good about letting me change her bed. Again, reinvinting the wheel every time. Her crate mattress has a fleece underpad and quilted sheet, and I don't want to be changing that 3x/day because it is a fitted sheet and would be a lot of commotion getting her to move off it it, pulling it out, changing it. So instead I lay a washable underpad on top. She lets me pull that out and replace that. One time when she had a sore neck for days I got smart and put several pads in so I could just pull out the top one each time. It's putting them in that is the commotion, more than pulling one out. It was kind of a Princess and the Pea bed, and pulling one out was like the old trick of pulling a tablecloth out from under the china. Well, maybe not quite
