Have dog owners stopped picking it up? On my daily three mile walk around my town, it's everywhere. Usually it's quite unusual to see any, but recently the pavements and grass verges are covered in the stuff. Is it because of the dark evenings and dog walkers can't be seen just walking off? It's bloody disgusting and frustrating as there's nothing to be done about it!

Crap next to it in the street yourself, they won't like that. That'll learn 'em.

Over the winter you can also see hundreds of little plastic bags hanging in the bushes. Clearly people scoop, bag and lob it in the hedge.

This makes me more angry than when they leave it where it lies.

i think its the dark evenings.

i picked my dogs up the other day and some bloke who had parked, moaned i hadn't picked it all up, when i went back he was talking about a pile that was from another dog and in a different place.

he got mad at me when i said it wasn't mine and i never had another bag. then threatened to post it through my front door. i just told him to get a grip and clear it up himself if he had that much of an issue.

i agree though its gross when they won't pick it up.

It's the recession and eco-friendliness, plastic is expensive and bad for the environment!

Or dog walkers are just lazy and because it's cold they don't want to get their hands out of their pockets!!!

But a nice fresh warm turd would solve that problem surely?

Off topic, but where did all the white dog crap go? You remember, the powdery stuff you couldn't get on a stick to throw at your sister.

Or was that just me?

They can feel nice and warm, it's true!

Lost count of the number of times I have got my hanky out to blow my nose, only to find it's a poo bag! (empty, of course)

Thankfully our four legged friend likes to wriggle into the middle of a bush to poo where she can, and if not, then it always gets picked up.

To quote an old one, "What happened to white dog poo"?

But perhaps more importantly, why did it seem less of a problem in the "white dog poo" era, whenever that was?

You should have got him to hold the nice warm bag of poo....and then shoved his face in a chilly turd to show him the difference!

Dog poo is the worst of any poo on the planet. Horse poo is quite nice by comparison smile

Nothing worse than getting some on your shoe. My kids seem to magically find some wherever we are.

Cacium enriched dog food fad, now gone.
Selling pitch, good for bones and teeth.
Only so much is.

When I was about eight years old, my aunt bought a nice new house and put some lovely, cream, deep-pile carpets throughout the ground floor. A mere couple of days later, I visited, my shoes found some vile dog poo in the local park, I forgot to take my shoes off on return..... Well, you get the picture.

We're on speaking terms now. Just.

Cat is worse.... on the shoe is a minor issue, far more distressing is, for instance, if you're under an old Land Rover, fixing on the prop shaft, and you rest your head on the dry earth floor in the shed, you're wearing a warm hat with fold down ear flaps, the ground side ear flap has annoyingly flipped up... oh, shame, it'll be on the earth, never mind just a bit of dirt, get up...

ear flap comes down...

ooh sticky...

what the hell's that smell...? vomit
