Dog owners. You know, the main reason I don’t have a dog is because there’s no way in HELL I would ever pick up dog crap. I know that somehow it would get on me, under my nails or a skid down my sleeve that would go unnoticed. And I think that a lot of dog owners also feel this way and either don’t bother picking up after their dogs or they dispose of the dog completely, like a Brita filter. Look at petfinder, you’ll see.
Anyway, I think winter must be seen as both a blessing and a curse for dog owners, a curse because it’s cold and sometimes dogs take a long time to find the right spot to squat, and a blessing because deep snow means they can’t find the poop and just don’t bother. Seriously, look in the parks in spring time, it’s revolting. This winter-and I use that term only in the technical sense-we’ve had virtually no snow but I think that because the calendar says it’s January, that means that some people think that it’s their time of the year not to stoop and scoop. Between here and the subway station, a 3 block walk, I believe there are at least a dozen smeared piles of dog shit. I mean, I hope it’s dog shit, you never know in this ‘hood. There was also a giant splat of vomit outside the subway station on Thursday, but that’s a different issue.
I took this picture today. It defies explanation. I call it “Still Life of Dog Shit and Underwear”.
LOL so glad I’m not the only one…..
I saw a beautiful photo op yesterday of vomit (pizza perhaps?) and dog shit in my little town.
Seems to me that some people deserve the brown paper bag + dog crap + lighter meets their doorstep treatment.
and I laugh at myself, picking up my dog’s crap in the snow, in the park where Canada geese do their thing daily. There are THOUSANDS of goose shits and here I am I picking up. There’s a certain irony here.
Does goose poop smell as bad as dog? I am not denying the grossness of goose waste, it’s awful, but as bad as dog? Dog crap is so heinous, it’s borderline worse than human.
I admit the side yard at my house is a complete minefield of dog turds right now.
Our dogs are so small and so scared of cold that unless I got out with them EVERY TIME they just piss and shit on my front doorstep all winter long. DELIGHTFUL.
Goose poop doesn’t really smell,
but watch your step!
That shit is slippery.
LOL.
In my neighborhood we have a lot of stray cats that poop EVERYwhere. Cat poop is WAY worse if you ask me. Of course we also have the people who just chuck their dirty baby diapers on the ground… lovely.
Eww, Jinn, where do you live? That’s HORRIBLE!!!
Ah yes, happens here too. Although I seen more vomit frozen to the sidewalk walking home from work at 5am then I did dog poop. Still nasty, but somehow not as nasty…
…southern California. :p
