I have been picking up after my dog for almost 13 years and hope to be doing so for years to come (yes, he is family). It irritates me that there are those who don't. We all chose to live in a pet friendly community and people will always walk their dogs. As previously said pet owners love their dogs and for anyone to think that we are going to quit walking our pets in public areas...well, it will never happen.
But as with every other rule...there are those who will always feel that rules don't apply to them. There will always be litter, cigarette butts, chair savers, speeders and as long as there are dogs...there will be poop. Although we may sometimes feel we live in paradise...it's not a perfect world.
Personally I can think of a lot of worse things in life than a little poop on my shoe. I am sure you can pick up a lot more germs walking down most city streets.
I read a quote that said we can't find true happiness in life, until we stop complaining about all the things wrong in our lives and start praising God for all the things that aren't.
Be Happy!
