[nagdu] Pickup The Poop

[Vivianna]

Hi Lori,
Yes, stepping in dog poop is very nasty.  you know, the last apartment i was living in, there were several sighted folks who were not picking up after their dogs.  so, the apartment management sent out a letter to everyone that said; if folks don’t start cleaning up after their dogs then, there would be a $20 rent increase in order to hire someone to come and do it for them.  
it worked.  lol.
yes, i agree that everyone should pick up after their own dogs.  what was bothering me in this topic here was the fact that some people were saying that, they are not legally bound to pick up.  
i am pretty sure that, here in the US, we are also not legally bound to pick up after our dogs but, we still do it.

I have bags in a small container on my purse, or in my pocket  or in my coat or jacket so I'm never without bags to pick up after my dog. I live in an apartment complex and  which does allow  dogs. I always clean up after my dog when he goes out and does his business.There's a few people who live in my apartment complex  who also pick up after their dogs and their sighted. But theirs a lot of people in my apartment complex who are college students who have dogs and their sighted and don't pick up after their dogs.

I have stepped in someone else's dog poop too many times to count because the owners of these dogs feel that they don't have to pick up after their dogs and these people are clearly irresponsible dog owners and in my opinion they shouldn't own a dog if they can't be responsible enough to clean up after their dogs.  When I take Gipp out to do his business he's always on leash.

I've been told several times by my dad   you don't have to worry about picking up after the dog and I said I'm going to pick up after my dog because it's the right thing to do . My parents don't  up after their dogs but that's their choice  and their home. I have a certain area at my parents house where I relieve Gipp at seperat from where she takes her dogs and after my dog goes poop, I always pick up. There's nothing werse than stepping in dog poop . Take care.
