If you buy a pure bred dog you’re not an animal lover.
No surprise Jonpotti

and do make sure to take the bags of poo home with ye rather than leaving them hanging on bushes and railings…
Its all right poop is natural. Who so you think cleans up squirrel poop, No one and its not that big of a deal.
Kids don’t play football under trees
I wish there was a sarcastic font. I was only messing about that.
I hate when there is dog mess anywhere. Right beside where I work there are flats and the pavement is always covered in it. And it is so big, It is obviously a large dog and it is being kept in the tiny flat. I know my dog wont go on concrete because she waits until she gets to the grassy park. and I do actually clean it up.
Ah who are they hurting? Xanex it’s your only man.
@Joxer
Can you please take this dog day as an opportunity to educate dog owners about picking up their dog sh*t. Bagging it and throwing the sh*t filled bag on the ground doesn’t count!! Where is the sense in that? It just makes it weather proof!
rant over.
+1
Instead of fines there should be reverse pick pockets.
This would be a highly trained team who when seeing your dog leave a mess they pick it up and gently slip it back into your pocket so you can have a nice surprise later instead of some other pedestrian.
I like it, my sarcasm meter has been dulled from playing snooping too loud
