On the one hand, thank you to all dog owners out there who clear up after their dogs.

But... I found a bag of dog mess deposited in my front garden this morning. Afew weeks ago, found another bag placed neatly in the hedge!

Yuk!

    You have to admit these animals are helluva well-trained to do it into a bag.

    Round here the dog owners moan that there aren't enough council bins (so they hang it decoratively from the trees). I don't understand why they don't think they should just take it home with them. And in the meantime, keep their hands nice and warm.

    Have you recently offended anybody who owns a dog? :p

    Not that I'd ever do that. Our local council recently brought in one of those dog control orders because we have such a problem with dog mess. It hasn't made the blindest bit of difference since the owners who let their dogs foul aren't the type to take any notice of a few signs.

    I don't know how to quote from other replies so...
    post #2 :rotfl:

    post #4:eek:

    Don't think we've offended anyone.

    I suppose it's better than left where it was deposited - my son would ALWAYS find the ONE bit of the park that had been crapped on ...:mad:

    I love dogs!

    I did it - I'm sure it wasn't that easy when I tried before...

    I know, I know, but look, I ' ve been a member since 2006 and don't post that often. I messed up once and never bothered again.

    Thought I'd try again.:cool:
