Re: Dog Poow
I don’t see so much dog poo as l used to. Where l do see it the most and it surprises me, is in the town centre and has usually been trodden in!In the past, l have challenged people who don’t pick it up and offered them a bag, that usually shames them into picking it up!

Re: Dog Poow
I pick up whether I'm walking normally or on crutches or in wheel chair do I always think if I can then there's no excuse at all for others. One thing I've noticed though it's the same people let their dogs off lead very often as they aren't close enough to see where they've been.I have been known to yell at a person to wait and give them a bag when I catch up, or I've bagged it and waited in the car park to hand it to them with a lovely smile and o think you dropped something
It's particularly horrid if it gets on my wheel chair wheels because then I put my hand in it before I realise

Well done Art It needs more like you. We need to clean this lovely country of ours up as I think that standards are slipping big time. And as for fly tipping. That is all over this country now big time.
I must stop this rant now it's making my blood pressure go up.

All I am saying is it need all dog owners to be responsible
for their dogs as I know most are.

Re: Dog Poow
The other day on the way home I popped into the local park and was just parking up when a quite large lady on a disability scooter came along the path in front of me. She had two little dogs with her who both decided to leave little piles on the grass. She watched them both and just trundled on.I realise she must have some disability but even so they make scoopers with long arms but she didn't even make any attempt to clear up after her dogs.
This was on a grass area that both children and adults use.
The park has a dog walk area that is the complete length of the park 525 yards long, I know this as I measured it as I tried applying to re-home a dog and needed the information for my application letter. The dog area also has a path suitable for mobility scooters.
It really annoys me that these sort of owners get responsible owners a bad name. 😤
