Dog Poop Found!!!
 

Seven (7) neatly tied bags of dog poop observed on south side of Talley Ridge Dr. between gate and postal station. I have seen them throw them down storm drains and in trash receptacles at postal stations but this is the first time I have seen them strewn along the street.

Maybe these bags are the result of someone's community service for criticizing the Morses here in the Villages??? :D

Are U sure it's Dog-Poop? They could be melted Snickers bars!!!!!!!Yuuummmmmy......:D:icon_wink::icon_wink :

Do you think this will be the cause of WW III?

Where's Fumar?

It's good to be lighthearted about this subject but it's very disappointing that people do this. It's so irresponsible. You would think that people that live in TV would have more pride in where they live. I know it's probably only a few out of 10's of thousands but it's still disappointing. Where I currently live, sometimes I drive down roads and see bags of garbage thrown on the side of the road. It makes me sad that people can be so reckless. Ok, you can continue with the jokes now...:):popcorn::)

Actually, neatly tied bags of poop sounds like it is not someone saving up their dogs poop and then dumping it. It does actually sound like some Good Samaritan or worker collecting the poop, and then someone else is going to pick it up. Like a waste disposal truck.

There is a Good Samaritan who comes frequently to pick up the dog poop at a local dog run. Poop that other people have not picked up in a field that often has some dogs walking. This is not a dog park per se, just somewhere that people take there pooches. These are just "dog parks" that some Villagers and other local community dwellers have made from fields with nice owners.

No I don't think that. I am not certain how you connect my OP with starting a world war. Was your remark meant to be amusing, serious or sarcastic?

BTW, I expected at least one such response. It was just a question of who.

Before my doggie past away last year, ( still aching over her ) I would take her on a walk through our neighborhood in a circle. I didn't want to hold the poop bag full of poop the whole time, so I dropped the bag on the side of the road until I was ready to take the loop home where I would dispose of my poop bag.

Did I make sense here? I just didn't want to hold the poop bag during the entire walk.

Dog poop in drains...
 

...I found 2 plastic bags in the storm drain on Alandari in Duval. I picked them up and put them in the poop pail in the garage we use for our dog. Those people who throw dog poop in the drains are probably the same ones who toss their cigarets alongside any road. I am appalled at the stupidity of these slobs.

trash
 

what is wrong with putting the tied doggie bags in the trash can at the mailboxes

nothing....but there are those who will attempt to define acceptable trash.

btk

The smell, especially in the hot months of summer.

They Give Pigs a Bad Name!
 

You can take the pigs out of the sty, but a pig's a pig. I think that is all I have to say. Except, they are slobs!

Dog Poop
 

It makes no sense to me that someone goes to the trouble of picking up dog poop, only to leave it by roadside, or worse, stuck in the draining system. One act of good citizenships voided by the other!
Personally, when my dog "goes", I quickly pick it up using a Daily Sun plastic bag, tie it and carry it all the way home swinging it as we walk.

Perhaps there's an opportunity to be had here.

Make a suggestion in your survey's to add a dog waste drop receptical (aka poop box) at the mail stations is a position away from the building itself with a sign or printing on it to "Deposit Dog Waste Bags Here and Keep Your Postal Area Looking and Smelling Pleasant" or something similar!

Just a suggestion for a suggestion!

Dog Poop Receptacle
 

I agree.


:BigApplause:

Who will cleaning out this new poop drop??

Hey , I think skyguy might have something here , I'm not thrilled with it but at least it shows promise and it just might work.......Usually the dumkoffs are walking their carnivores to the mail stations anyway and if there was a convenient place to dump the bags they just might do it ........anyway its probably better than what GARY had in mind when he built this place .What he wanted was everyone with a dog that had to go, was to lift the animal over the commode and SQUEEZE ...Whitch is why he only wanted knee high dogs to reside here ....any taller than that and the animal would be to heavy to lift.... not to mention the new comfort level stools......So my fellow Villagers ...we should pursue the this idea with vigor ......the only problem I see with it is in the month of July you might want pick up your mail in OCALA..

:BigApplause:......PIN ON MY NOSE FUMAR

Swinging
 

I do the same thing. I swing the bag while we walk home. He doesn't "go" every time we go out but when he does I swing.

I nominate you for the job! All in favor signify by barking! :thumbup:

:1rotfl:

BTW, I stated "Deposit Dog Waste Bags Here" presuming that the owners will toss the bags in and not have their precious little poopers climb on top and make a direct deposit! That should help reduce the odors... hopefully! Perhaps I should have added the word "Only" between waste and bags.

.....UNPIN YOUR NOSE SKY

...

Because it's disgusting!

Nothing can bring The Great Fumar to a thread like the word "poop". Furmar really needs to get a dog. :icon_wink:

Poop freeze it!
 

Just get a can of Poop Freeze, and zap the stuff! Leave it there where you found it, because they probably forgot their poop stash.:D

I would like to see Fumar with a Great Dane rather than say a Yorkie. With the Great Dane you can get quite a bit of exercise carrying the poop bag back home.

:grumpy: Is it true ? Dog;s taste like chicken ?:D

Great Dane? Naw! I say St. Bernard. A St. Bernard can run 100 pounds heaver than a Great Dane, ergo... more dog - more poop! :icon_twisted:

I wondered the same thing. It's dog-gone confounding.

I'd like to know also. I put all my dog's poop in plastic bags in our trash. I do this here in TV and also in New Jersey. Am I supposed to flush it down the toilet?

Just wondering...are you a dog owner?

Since it is Survey Time, it's a good time to talk about the need for additional dog parks in The Villages. We love the fact that TV allows two dogs per household without size restrictions. BUT, when large numbers of dogs are allowed in a community, there will be trouble if Dog Parks are not provided. In a Dog Park, where people are required to pick up after their pets, there are bins provided for the refuse.

If Dog Parks are not provided, people will make postal stations into a substitute. Or they will walk the dogs in their local neighborhood which has led to many threads about pee stains on lawns.

I suggest we ask for more Dog Parks on the new Survey. It will give dog owners a convenient place to walk their dogs. For non owners, there is also a benefit, pristine lawns with no stress.

We don't have a dog in this fight. We will continue to take our dogs daily to a private non-Village Dog Park. We pay a monthly fee for this amenity and we are happy to do so.

Those cans are for recycle paper

Sadly I do not think people use my front lawn as a doggie rest area due to lack of dog parks. I have yet to figure out why something I could never imagine allowing my dog to do do, is acceptable behavior to what appear to be otherwise nice folks.

I didn't realize the cans were for paper only. I thought they are general garbage cans. I'll have to look for a sign next time I'm at the postal station.

I would bet you are not a dog owner. I always have my male dog relieve himself on my own backyard lawn. I have no idea why but I do not have any dead grass from the urine, anywhere on my lawn. I do always rotate the area where I bring him on his leash.

Even though I always have my dog relieve himself on my back yard lawn before our walks, he will always find just a little bit of pee left to pee on the neighbor's lawns. It's a male thing.

The two local dog parks here in TV are out of the question for my elderly 17 1/2 year old Beagle. When I took him there, the parks were littered with poop and he has a "thing" for poop if you know what I mean.

And this just goes to show why this country is going to hell in a hand basket. Is this the thing you worry about the most? Some of you really need to get out more.

Man / Dog in Glenbrook - No Shame
 

Just saw a dog yesterday squatting on the curb in Glenbrook, with a guy looking at the cars going by, and NO plastic bag in sight. After all this, I was shocked by his gall!

Just my opinion
 

You would lose that bet, dogs have always been a big part of our lives and still are now. I do understand what you are saying, I can tell you love dogs and I do not wish to be argumentative, but I do wish to share how I interpret the bolded line in your post.

Even though I always have my dog relieve himself on my back yard lawn before our walks, I always allow him to pee on the neighbor's lawns.

IMO and based on all of our dogs through our lives, dogs only do what they are allowed to do, except when they are pups and still learning.

This is me after I post something like this: http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-scared004.gif

Who couldn't just love your posts and listen to your reasonable statements.
