[nagdu] Picking up the busy busy when you've parked your dog. lol

[Steven Johnson]

Wow, never heard of such an ordinance.  I would look at this as reverse
discrimination.  The only way I would ever see a municipal authority in
exempting is if and only if, they had a clause that provided that they have
an alternative means of collecting the waste.  i.e. another person, reacher,
doggie pick up business.

I think it's probably worth noting that folks should check out their city
municipal code.  A great many cities have exemptions on the books for folks
who are blind or otherwise so physically impaired that picking up is
difficult to impossible.  I am one of those who usually can't do the baggie
thing, so I just make sure my dog is WAY off in the boonies where the odds
of something stepping in it go down (bushes, tall grass, outskirt of parking
lot).  If I have someone with me, often that person can and will scoop for
me - but I wanted to make sure that folks are aware of these exemptions.
 While it'd be nice if we all could scoop, that's just not reality and so
thankfully many cities exempt disabled persons.
