Dog Dirt - Clear up or leg it ?

[Thermo]

now thats funny!

i think there's more to owning a dog than just picking up s**t

I don't doubt there is.

But the fact that picking up dog **** goes hand in hand with owning a dog means its not for me.

What i find even more bizarre is that you have to pay for the pleasure of picking up said ****. (food/vets/kennels/etc)

Weird.

Don't get me started

Only cats i like are house cats.

I have fallen out with the neighbours over their cat s*****g on my garden where my two little girls play.

If i catch it , it will be dead. (i won't happen cos its too fast for me)

I know its illegal before everyone jumps on me.

I am not bothered. I don't mind a criminal record if it means my little girls can play safely without getting covered in cat ****.

Our cat used to bury its poo. Bless it.

yeah - ours did

my dad used to get really ****ed off with it digging up his flower pots to **** in

cats are nice clean animals - no poo to clean up after them

Oh Paper Spark - what a wonderful idea ! Apart from the annoyance of dog dirt on your shoes and clogging up your lawn mower the implications for little kids and toxicara are far more serious... How can anyone with any social conscience ignore this ?

We have just moved and next doors' dogs use our garden as a toilet. We don't want to fall out wth them immediately (the neighbours, not the dogs) so will have to go to the expense of putting lettuce wire all along our long expanse of post and rail fence.....

I love dogs but totally agree that if you are going to have one you are obigated to ensure that it is not detrimental to others.

One idea for dealing with it, if you know where the dog owner lives.

Put the dog s**t in a paper bag,
Place bag onto dog owners doorstep,
Set fire to the said bag,
Ring doorbell or knock on door,
Watch from a safe distance as dog owner now attempts to put fire out by stamping on the bag.
Walk away laughing like mad.

Henceforth, you, sire, shall be known as "Paper Bag Spark"...
