Dogs: Clean up After Yours

[bobside]

I really don't mind biodegradable dog poop slowly decaying and returning to the earth as God and nature intended. Why would anyone want to immortalize their dog's poop in a plastic bag that will be around a thousand years from now? The mere possession of a plastic bag is the more irresponsible of the two acts.

What makes those delicate souls that are offended by the mere whiff of dog poop think that the world should be structured for their effete sensibilities? Perhaps thesesensitie souls should carry a perfumed lace handkerchief pressed to their noses as they walk the city streets. How in the world do they survive their own toilet functions or are they those proverbial folks who's poop doesn't stink?

However; what really annoys me is the complete lack of consideration on the part of dog walkers that allow their dogs to lift their legs and urinate on my parking cones in front of my house. I have to move those cones several times a day as I come and go from my parking spot and I do not appreciate handling your dog's urine. Show some common courtesy and walk your dog near flowers and bushes where your dog can urinate in a natural environment.

Let's start showing a little repect for the other guy!

Because my trash is in my kitchen until Tuesdays when I can take it out. I don't have a backyard or an alley and I can't leave trashcans outside or we get fined.


Does anyone have any idea if I can use the apartment building trash can?

I don't understand the problem. Put the poop in a plastic bag, tie the plastic bag closed and put it in your own garbage receptacle. What do you think people do with their babies' dirty diapers? If you don't want to mix the poop with your kitchen garbage, buy yourself a nice Diaper Champ and let the poop have its own special place.

Is this a phillyblog/phillyspeaks parody or for real? It has to be satire, right? Let's leave aside the dubious argument that poop on a city sidewalk isn't harmful to the environment. It's amusing that someone using parking cones to save a public parking spot in front of his home is lecturing others on courtesy and respect, and instructing people to let their dogs poop and pee in his neighbors' gardens instead of on his precious cones. People seem to push for respect for the other guy as long as the other guy is "me." (I'm assuming the parking spot is public. If not, it's ironic anyway. Pee on someone else's flowers, not my cones!)

Must be nice to have parking cones to save your spot. Isn't that illegal?

Satire!

Thank you to the person who allowed his/her dog to leave a present smack in the middle of the sidewalk on Fitzwater and Cleveland this morning. It's now baking in the sun. When fully done, please come back and get it!!!!!!! Those of us who live around here don't want it!!!!

Probably because he doesn't want to smell it. It's your dog, not his. You smell it.



Yes, they're their trash cans, meaning not yours.



errr, I don't think so. You're the one infringing on other people with your feces.



Yes, you never should have in the first place.



Carry it home and put it in your own trash. It's your sh!t, it belongs to you. No one else wants it. If you don't want it at home, get rid of your dog.



This is literally the most selfish and ridiculous post arguing against personal responsibility I've ever read.

I agree with this. It's your dog. Your sh!t. Your responsibility. If you don't want to dispose of it properly on your property, then get rid of the dog or move to the suburbs.

One of the problems with this neighborhood is that the residents are simply not creative. Folks should try to find positive solutions to situations and stop being so negative.

Moose Droppings for Tourists

Moose droppings are made into souvenirs in Alaska, Maine, Colorado and Canada. In fact, Talkeetna, Alaska has an annual Moose Dropping Festival every July. Highlights of the event include the Moose Dropping Drop Game, where numbered nuggets of moose dropping are tossed out of a helicopter and participants place bets on where they will land. There’s also a Moose Poop Toss Game. And bagpipers. Really! Typical moose poop souvenirs include Moose Poop earrings, Moose Nugget swizzle sticks, Moose Poop tie tacks, and Moose Poop mugs.

Something curious happened last evening. A guy across the street let his (big) dog poop on my sidewalk. I saw it, saw him walk away & he knew it. A few minutes later he returned with a bucket of water & dumped it in the general area of the poop, washing it into someone's car & the street. I honestly don't know if he's trying to be mindful or just another jerk.
