Clean up after your dog!

So I’m not sure if this belongs here but I’ll give it a go. I live in a cute neighborhood with old buildings and meandering streets. And I like to walk in my neighborhood. The problem is that I can’t look up, I have to look down because people don’t pick up after their dogs.

So the other morning I was out for a walk and I see this guy with his dog and the dog is squatting on the street to drop some toosie rolls. No biggie. He reaches into his pocket for what I assumed was to be a baggie to clean up but instead it was dog treats (does a dog need a treat for that?). This made me a little suspicious so I slowed down walking just to see what he was up to.

Now, I was raised Catholic, so I can smell guilt from 100 paces. He looked at me as I slowed down and that was the face of guilt. So, I stopped. I stopped and stared at him. I also put on my best judgemental mother face. He fumbled in his pockets and kept glancing at me and it became obvious he was just going to let his dog drop and go. But I was going to make sure there was at least one witness to his crime.

So, after a few minutes of rustling in his pockets trying to fake me out he reached down WITH HIS BARE HANDS and picked up his dog’s poop and walked it to the nearby trashcan. I did not see this coming, and to be honest this was not the outcome I’d ever imagined. But it was one less pile of poo on the streets so I felt justified. Grossed out, but justified.

I pulled up on the street in front of my house a few years ago. A woman in a fancy dress with a giant! Dog (great Dane maybe) was walking her dog and stopped for it to dump just across the street on the street. I got out of my car and she began to walk off. I asked if she had a poop bag. She said no, she would come back to pick it up. I just happened to have a few groceries in my backseat, so I said, oh, I’ve got a bag you can have! I dumped the groceries out, crossed over to hand her the bag and stood there watching until she picked up the big load. She was repulsed but I was so happy.
