OT: Dog Sh*t

[Frabjous]

If when you walk your dog in the park you pick up his shit in a plastic bag, good for you. But your job is not over. Put the bag in a trash can. Or take it home. Do not leave your bag of dog shit along the trail for the rest of us to admire. If you do not pick up your bag of dog shit, you are a bad human being. You are even a worse human being than a guy who drives a Miata with a slushbox.
Now thank you and don’t do it again.

I’ll admit I have on occasion bagged and left on the route knowing I’ll pass it and grab it later in the walk to dispose of. But even that’s in limited circumstances (like not left out for the world to see) and I’m never entirely comfortable with it.

How did ya know it was dog shit!!!!

Likewise. I try to hide it in some bushes and the route Enzo and I take is an out-and-back so I can pick it up on the way home.

Believe me, I'm not going to try to put something like that on Enzo's butt. That kind of reminds me of a great line in "The Big Bang Theory," when the boys were debating who the bravest character in the Marvel Universe was. The winner: the guy who gives Wolverine his prostrate exam.

Trash? I thought you were supposed to light it on fire and put it on Louis freeh’s doorstep?

 

[anon_1eeb2b426hv3y]

i have to say there is nothing worse than dog sh!t in Paris. I LOVE Paris and I love that people bring there dogs everywhere in stores restaurants and cafes but no one cleans up. The absolute best/worst was encountering a big, fresh, steamy pile on the platform of the Metro. Ugh, gross!

Milan is worse IMHO. I haven’t been all over the world, but I’ve never seen it as bad as the neighborhood sidewalks in Milan.

When out in the woods, I do this all the time. No need to carry it with me. I'll handle it on the way back. I've never once had anyone else pick it up for me, or complain to me that I'm out of line. If I was going to leave it, I wouldn't bother to bag it in the first place. I'm guessing this is exactly what the OP is witnessing.

Growing up in Brooklyn before the pooper scooper laws it was all over the place. We often stepped in it playing ball in the streets. Then had to clean sneakers with a nail or something. Freakin disgusting.
For fun we would shovel some onto newspaper, light the paper and ring the person's bell, so they would come out and stamp out the fire etc. Onetime a woman called the fire dept and the trucks came. We watched this play out from down the street.
Today living in NJ, we have people that put it in bags and then throw it in our trash cans. Really annoys the hell out of me, that they are too lazy to take it with them. Makes good use of the N Y Times delivery bags tho.

I will occasionally throw a bag in someone's trash can, but only if they are at the curb for pickup the next day.
It's less about being lazy than about the fact that if you have the dog leash in one hand and a bag of $hit in the other, you don't have a free hand to use the flashlight if needed or if you need that 2nd hand to control your dog.

Yeah, that's fantastic. First, I don't own a dog so I don't need to be involved in someone else's smelly, disgusting $hit.
Second, when the collect the trash, they don't grab and empty the whole can like they used to. They just take the big bags out. So if they empty the can in the morning and someone puts their dogs bag of dump in there an hour later, that little gem is there for another 3 days at least, unless I empty it myself. And in the summer it starts to bake and sink. And chances are they won't take it the next go round.
It's not my problem that you need both hands for this situation. But don't think you can use other people's cans just because they happen to be curbside. Geez...

Our cans are dumped so everything comes out
The cans belong to Waste Management
If they are at the curb they are not on your property.

Actually it sounds a lot like being lazy. Shouldn't be my problem that you cant handle a dog and a bag of crap.

I don't have a dog in this fight either...Yea that was intentional, but I do have neighbors or people walking their dogs through
my development doing exactly what you say and yes it pisses me off.

What are you missing here? They are MY EFFING CANS. Who is going to clean the dog $hit bags from them? Rover's owner that thinks they are curbside so they are available for the public? Or my wife? Think she will do it? So it's left to me, to play with $hit.
If you can't do what's right here, get your mutt a freakin diaper and leave me out of his defecation schedule!

Good point.



If you are walking down the street can you put the bag in a neighbor's can?

Friend of mine works for Millersville University. A few years ago they had to drain a pond and he said they found hundreds of bags of dog crap.

 

[LionJim]

Funny. No, not my dog. At first glance Enzo is an intimidating dog, and I am told that his woof will make you shit your pants, but he’s as playful and friendly as any dog you’ve ever met.

That's what they all say. The bags I see sitting in my neighborhood park that sit in the same for many days untouched also says that a large number of people that think they will "get it on the way back" are lying to themselves and simply not doing it. Bagging it and leaving it is worse than not picking it up in the first place, now there's plastic waste added to the mix.

I don't understand why people are so averse to carrying a bag of poop. It's a responsibility that comes with dog ownership. I bag it every time. I take the bag with me immediately, every time. I carry it until I come across a public trash can or my own trash bins and do not put it in a neighbor's trash, every time. It's really not a big deal. Sometimes I'll end up carrying a bag for 30 minutes until I get to a spot to throw it away, it doesn't bother me one bit.

I trained my dog to poop in yards with Bernie Sanders signs. Got to share the wealth.

Umm, you should have thought about that before you made the decision to get a dog and walk it at night.

 

[PSU_Chicago]

A major pet peeve of mine too. We one of those in our neighborhood. Bags of dog shit all over the place. IMO, the perp is someone with potty issues, probably a woman. “Eewww, pooo!”

Every spring in our hood we have to wage all out war with the dog owners. They just leave it where it lies until you embarrass them into good behavior.

Straight up. Nothing says Spring like bags of dog shite peeking out from melting snow banks.

 

[BTMurphy]

I encourage all neighborhood dogs to poop in our yard. It’s easier than yelling at kids to “stay off our lawn!”

I would imagine you transport the pile with a wheelbarrow.

I have a fenced-in backyard and a winter’s worth of dogshit to pick up. Yeah, big dog, big drop.
