They give dog owners a bad name and rightly so since no one should have to endure the sight and smell of all that poop. I walk my dog on my property and pick up after him. It's not a big deal to bend over and scoop the poop. Just do it!!!!
It is truly disgusting to me that clean, otherwise rational people, would refuse to pick up after their dogs. I sure don't understand it; and I resent that behaviour. It gives all dog owners a bad name. On a more positive note, the majority of dog owners are rational, loving people and do pick up after their dogs.

Sorry, this is a hijack .. back to dogs at the Town Square.

I don't take my dogs to the square but I applaud those who do. Provided, of course, that the dogs are well socialized. I think the dogs provide a lot of people with a positive experience.
