mouthbreather, sorry I was unclear. It was my kid and I had been watching him as carefully as I could. The 2 yo was also outside and I was kind of going in 2 directions at once. Then the neighbor comes out to say hi (non-dog owning nieghbor) and I got a little distracted. Yeah, you’re right. I know that there are land mines in the area and that’s why I tend to follow a step or two behind the one yo (the two yo doesn’t put anything in his mouth any more) except when the other kid is trying to run out into the parking lot or a nice neighbor wants to say hello for a minute.
I don’t know why they call them Golden Retrievers… because they don’t.
Now, how can we expect people to clean up after their dogs when they don’t even clean up after themselves?
Case in point: I took jeevdawg out for his morning constitutional today. On the sidewalk, about fifteen yards from my front gate, was a half-eaten fried chicken leg (drumstick & thigh). Before I could react, jeevdawg found it and started a’ snackin, and I was only able to get part of it out of his mouth. About 15 feet further down the street was a city trash can.
So what this means is, someone was too lazy to walk the extra fifteen feet to deposit their chicken in the trash.
I hate that shit too. Literally.
As the owner of two dogs I really resent seeing dogshit - it reflects badly on me. I make sure I have three bags per dog on me when it’s time for a walk, and I make damn sure I have a plastic bag visible in my hand as my dog pinches a loaf. It’s my way of advertising the fact that I fully intend to pick up the poo.
Wifey being a vet and all, it would be potentially bad for busines if anyone blamed us for the poo they see outside.
Pick up that poo people!
>Pick up your dog’s crap already
But it’s all soft and steamy!
