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

Wed Jun 27 21:19:57 UTC 2012

Amen to this!

I see so many blind people who neglect to pick up especially at the 
conventions!  You risk stepping in it when you go to the designated relief 
areas - so much that I look for another place to relieve my dog and pick up 
after him there.

While we are on this, umm sh**y subject, has anyone ever been accused of not 
picking up when the offending substance is around - obviously left by a 
Chihuahua?  I find it interesting that the one blind person with a guide dog 
gets blamed for the leavings of sighted pet owners who FAIL to pick up after 
their dogs.  We blind are automaticlly blamed.  I'm lucky that the manager 
at my apartment complex have caught me in the deed - of picking up after 
landon!
