Come on people!

The snow outside has reached that nasty grey stage where it either needs to melt or be covered with a nice, fresh layer of white. And I noticed this morning, while doing my usual early walk around the block with Holly, that there are an amazing amount of frozen dog turds sitting proudly atop the snow.

This led me to wonder what it was about snow that makes people think it is OK to leave their dog’s shit for other people to deal with? Do they think there will be more to cover it up, or are they in too much of a hurry to get in out of the cold?

I will admit that I am one of those fanatical dog owners who feels it is very important to clean up after our dogs so that they still be allowed in parks etc.- to the extent that I will occasionally even pick up after someone else’s dog. But there are turds every 20 feet or so out there, and it’s disgusting!

So come on people- clean up after your dogs- in the snow the shit stands out even more against the white background!
