I cant stand it when I see someone's dog pooing and the owner doesn't pick it up. It's not hard to clean up after our dogs and totally irresponsible of the owners who dont pick up.
If only all owners were as clued up
I always say to dog owners who are out there in the heat of the day to take their tops and shoes off and see how long they would last
I no longer have a dog
. When I did, did I care about him looking beautywith a show coat? Did I eck. Come the summer he got shaved ( cocker spaniel btw) We walked early morning - before 8am and again at 9 or 10pm.
With Alfie, here in the country , I’d load the back pack with his bowl and water bottles and then walk about a mile to a wee spot that had a stream in the shade and sat there for the afternoon reading whilst he did what dogs do, in the shade, plenty of rest and lots of water
