Helping Out

Our neighborhood is very walkable and attracts many from apartments outside who like to come and walk their dogs through the shady streets. Unfortunately some people don’t clean up behind their dogs when they do their thing. We are also in a drought and have not had much rain in a long time which in a normal year would wash some of this a way. Consequently, much doggy doo has been deposited and left in the streets and in people’s yards and more or less public sections of the streets. I took a platic grocery bag with me on a walk with my dog and picked up all the dog poops that I came upon snaking through the neighborhood. I filled a whole bag. I think many will appreciate it. What’s more, I felt better after doing this than I normally do when I come upon a pile left behind and just end up grousing about people’s thoughtlessness. So I got a double bonus!
