Dog poop... on the streets of Atlanta.
 
Doggie doo don’ts | The Run Commuter

Now here is an idea for those on TOTV who have a problem with where dog poop has showed up in the streets of the Villages. Take a picture from your cell phone and upload it on your blog or some other handy place as like runner Kyle from Atlanta's pictures.

I remember when NYC was covered in dog poop, and I"m not THAT old

And Paris and NYC are considered world class with streets filled of poop? :ohdear:

Bill, it doesn't take much extra popcorn for the next poop story (I hope you weren't about to run out).
Have you noticed there hasn't been much pee in Lake Sumter lately though? Gracie should be happy for that. :laugh:

You must have been there during one of their many holidays, er, poopidays? We lived there for 6 months (with dog) in 2009/10, and honestly, I don't remember very much poop at all compared to former times.

There is now a $350 euro fine for not picking up your dog's poop in Paris. And the poop police are in plainclothes! I was watched closely one day in the little park in the 11th where we took our dog three times a day. Couldn't understand why this woman was shadowing me all over the place. After I picked up after the dog (remasser) she came up and thanked me, followed by a string of rapid French I totally could not understand. Oui, Madame, Oui, Madame... Merci!

Under Sarkozy, they were really cracking down, due to the cost to clean it up. Mostly it was the very old folks who were ignoring the new ordinance, probably because they hadn't had to do it for decades--which, by the way, is why dogs aren't allowed in 99% of Parisien parks. Too much poop for the public workers to have to pick up.

Okay, off my high cheval.:faint:
