I wanted to run this blog again. I have been walking Sammy and Lucy the last several days and the sidewalks are getting worse. Its terrible when dog owners don’t pick up after their dogs. Gives us all a bad name. I don’t know what is going on with everyone, but please please pick up after your dogs! I have had to pick up a few piles myself just so my dogs have some space on the grass!  So here’s Candy’s blog again-

I have a real pain in my butt from all the lazy dog owners out there who don’t pick up after their dogs. They treat the world like it’s their personal toilet, and they don’t bother to flush. On the weekends Ming, and I walk through different neighborhoods with our dogs, and cannot believe the amount of dog poop that is littering the landscape. People who walk their dogs, and don’t have the courtesy,or respect for their neighbors to pick up the messes their pooches are leaving in everybody’s yard are just rude, idiots. That is not to say that we all haven’t been out with out pups, and reached for a bag, and came up empty handed. I’m complaining about the guy who does this ALL the time. He/She gives all dog owners a bad rap in the neighborhoods because of their swine ways. 

These are the same people who decided that their dogs do not need to be on leashes. It makes it easier for them to come running at you and your leashed pet. That exact thing happen again this morning to Ming, and I on a walk. We were walking Star, and Kc when a very large (huge) ridge-back dog came charging at us. The dog was barking, growling, with his fangs out ready to pounce on the boxers. Ming froze in fear. Kc, and Star stopped, and were still. I just kept still also, but was prepared to kill some dog ass if I had to. Finally after the barking, and charging, the unleashed dog sauntered back home.. Ming started to breath again, and both of my sweet puppies just put one foot in front of another, and never looked back.

We run into a lot of dogs off leash at the beach because the owners like the freedom for them and their dogs. Free to crap, and no one picks it up. Feel to jump on all passing people, and dogs. Feel to annoy any/everyone passing by. Those signs “No Dogs on the Beach” are not for them, just for the rest of us. Of course it’s because of them that the signs were ever posted in the first place.

If you hear someone yelling to pick up after your dog, chances are it’s me. I don’t mind picking up after my dogs, and even sometimes yours, but not All the time.

Let’s all do our share to keep the neighborhoods clean for ALL of the dogs passing through.
