I bought a new tool to remove them and other weeds. It's a really simple one unlike the old tool that broke down. You just stick this to the ground around the dandelion, turn it around and pull it up roots and all. The dandelion and its roots are then ejected by pushing the rod in the shaft in. A spring returns it to the upper position. This one is just as handy and quick to use but has only one moving part and is likely to last much longer.
Into the sack they go.
Our cat came in and felt very sleepy during the rain.
