    Where I live we have a cycle/footpath running along the back of our property, In the winter when the leaves fall off the trees there is a harvest of dog poo bags hanging from them, So I took photos of them and sent them to a local councellor requesting that a bin be situated on this very popular dog walking area, Guess what I was told ? they could not afford xtra bins....Should have gone to the press.

      I have 3 dogs and I pick up and bin, after them all the time.. Sometimes you have to carry it a long way but so what.? What's the big deal about it is my question.? You change the babies nappy...! Why do so many owners not bother.? It is an owners responsibility too....! They disgust me..!! :mad:
      Then the ones that do, but chuck it in the hedge or as rosietu says hang it on trees and fences..!!! I despair..!! :gaah::mad:

        I agree, absolutely gross to leave it in a bag. I understand why they would not wish to take it home and feel sorry for the poor dog owners having to scoop it up warm and steaming with a gloved hand, but it is their choice to own a dog. Well done to those who accept full responsibility for their pet.

        Not my choice to have a little squidgy heap right in my front gateway this morning - could have been a fox, however.

          I got fox poo outside too, caught a baby one dragging my carrier bag off the other evening, perhaps he was going to bag it up :snork:
