The dog looks like a teddy bear.

Thanks for clearifying. You're right the dog does look like a teddy bear.
Now, do we have to worry about getting teddy bear poop on our lawns?

:what::what: i think you people are making TOO MUCH of the dumping of plactic bags w,poop in the trash containers at P/O or elsewhere. The containers should be emptied daily and there would be no problem!!, with the smell. At least the dog owners are DOING THE RIGHT THING BY CLEARING UP AFTER THEIR PETS. SURE doesn't sound like a very PET FRIENDLY area?? What if someone throws a half eaten cheese sandwich or a rotten egg sandwich in the can, is that also wrong? LIGTHEN UP.:spoken:

Sadly, with every thread like this one, pet owners get the impression that TV is full of people who hate dogs.

I have to agree that this seems to be Much ado about nothing! It is a garbage can--it isn't going to smell like flowers no matter what is in it, especially in the heat!
Just pick up your mail, toss the junk mail in it and move on down the road!
Count your blessings! We live in a wonderful place, and with a higher standard of living than 90% of the world's population. It is going to be okay!

There are postal stations where A LOT of folks walk their dogs (Tamarind Grove for instance). And in the heat of the summer, it doesn’t take long for the dog poop to start smelling really bad. So, all of us responsible dog owners should carry our bags of dog poop home and dispose of it in our own way. How hard is that? It’s the right thing to do, and we need to do our part to keep TV a “pet-friendly” community.

if it is in a plastic bag, which it usually is....
and if the bag is knotted which it usually is.....
as has been said above...what is the big deal....and we know there are a few among us that everything is a big deal.

I will bet 98.6% of it is perception....OH MY GOD did that person throw their dog poop in the mailbox TRASH CAN?

I still say for the powers that be (?) to come out and in print cite the practice will stop or remove the trash cans is very, VERY small thinking, responding to the paranoid few.

Trash is trash....garbage is garbage... it all stinks regardless the process before it hits the can.

Good advice above: lighten up. Go work on something that really is a problem like _ _ ? _ _ .

btk

I do not know what the big stink is?
 

Next they will want us to shower before we pick up our mail.

There are some people who like to chat for quite a while at the postal center. Done this myself at times. So, maybe the social gatherers at the mail center do have to put up with some bad smells.

I would think though that the people who actually have the courtesy to pick up their dog's poop at the postal stations would also double bag it so that the odor keeps in for a little while.

Just for the record, I am not a pet owner, so I am not an improper poop disposer.
Common sense would say that if I am chatting next to a garbage can and it doesn't smell good, I will be moving away from the garbage can.
And, of course, pet owners should dispose of their pet garbage properly.
"nuff said!

One of the tamer ones of these.
 

Hmmm, maybe TV needs to start a "Pooper-Scooper-Club"!!!! They can name a member each month for >>"Pooper-scooper of the Month Certificate"....

I'm just tryin too help clean-up the mess in here ppl!!!!!:throwtomatoes:
:shrug::shrug:

Great! A pet owner with a responsible attitude about his community. If other dog owners don't seem to mind picking up dog crap with their plastic bag mitten why then would they want to stink up public areas instead of making their own homes stink of dog crap. Oh! Your dog's crap doesn't stink!Hey dog owner's, you can't have it both ways. Either you are totally responsible or not. No in between!

Pledge Required from All New Frogs
 

Next thing you know there will be a requirement that all new residents of TV be required to make a written pledge that they will never dispose of their own or their pets poop in a community trash can. I, for one, am offended by this attack upon my constitutional and Gd given right to deposit poop whenever and wherever the urge to do so comes upon me!!! I subscribe to the following well known and accepted philosophy embodied in the following ditty:

"In days of old when knights were bold and toilets weren't invented,
They laid their loads upon the roads and walked away contented."

Swampy

Who invented the toilet?

I try to get my dog's poop off the ground at the postal center, take it back home, and turn the bag inside out so I can get it down the toilet.

Loved the pic!

As for signs, one of the funniest I've seen was sold at a Craft Show. It was wooden, shaped like a tombstone, about a foot high and said " Here lies the last dog to sh** in my yard."

Don't get me wrong. Love dogs. I have two. But would never leave their waste on someone else's property and don't want others on mine. Just a matter of respect for others.
