So you’re wearing your brand new 200 dollar Hugo Boss shoes for the very first time – It feels like you’re walking on clouds and you’re flying high. Everything is splendid. Until…squish! ”What the hell was that? That sure as hell didn’t feel like clouds to me!”. So, you look down, and your worst nightmares are confirmed – You’ve just stepped in the largest pile of dog dung ever known to man and your beautiful shoes are, alas, no more.
I know I’m not the only one who has had this unspeakably hellish experience, so I ask you, is it really so very difficult for dog owners to take an extra thirty seconds to clean up after their beloved pets? Is it too much to ask for a little common decency and respect for one’s fellow man (or woman)? We’ve all seen the signs around our cities warning people of fines for not curbing their dogs – Shouldn’t these fines actually be enforced?
So, once again, I turn to you for guidance, fellow readers. Should we be content with battling dog dung on our city streets or is there something we can do about it?
Puppy In Training January 5, 2010
Thanks for participating in the Puppy In Training blog carnival. Yes! This is a very sore subject with me. As a kid I stepped in dog poop many a time on the playground. I absolutely despise it when people don’t pick up after their dog. I have one neighbor who always lets her dog poop in front of my house and never picks up. I’m on the verge of pulling a Billy Madison – putting it in a bag and lighting it on fire on her door step!
