Dog Crap

[candj]

I am begining to get really hacked off by the amount to dog crap on the sidewalks of East Dulwich.

Me too - but I never seen anyone (anydog) committing the offence. Is it all done during dark hours.

[Vik]

Ditto! Now dogs are 'fashonable' again, I spend all my time stearing my children around bloody dogsh*t!

Makes me sick!!

'fashionable'?!

[spadetownboy]

have a walk around the streets of any french town and then come on and compare with ed, i think you,ll find we,re pretty crap free compared to them.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I pick up after my dog's poo! What I object to is americanisms. Last time I looked there were pavements in East Dulwich.

[candj]

I appreciate that in France people are not bothered by the sight and smell of crusting heaps of dogs**t on the pavement but it still doesn't excuse people from allowing their dogs to do it in ed.

[Marmora Man]

Dog crap is totally unaceptable. For some reason there has been a significant increase in the "Crimean" quarter - newcomers not understanding that it's the deal to pick up after the dog, or being just lazy I'm not sure. While we may be better than France that's not much comfort when trying to scrape the s*** of your shoe.

According to Southwark Council their community wardens act on information about offenders - but unless we have a DNA database for all dogs I can't see it working. My libertarian instincts do stop at dogs, cats and other animals using my pavements as a latrine.

Boys and girls... (tut, tut), where is the poetry in this thread? Really now, please - lets have some decorum? How about this...

Canine excretion?

[Vik]

Hi Bob,

Not sure if you were questioning my dire spelling:-$ Or what I meant by fashionable?

If the latter, I meant, when I was a child everywhere I looked people were walking dogs, then the dangerous dog act was introduced and gradually, there just weren't so many dogs about, now every other teen on the street has a staff or similar with them, and lo behold, dog poo everywhere!

If the former - I apologise!;-)

You don't see white dog "excrement" (for DM) anymore though do you? Wonder why that is...?

[downsouth]

Can't say I've noticed generally but we did dodge a whole lot of **** today. It's not that hard to poop and scoop is it?

[Annasfield]

Not at all - my house mate has two dogs and I regularly walk them. Admittedly its hardly pleasant picking up after them, but its something that you just do.

I'm told (by dog poo experts) it's something to do with the ingredients of dog food which have changed over the years. These days even dog food has been 'Olivered'. They're obviously putting a higher quality of minced beaks, fins, hooves and giblets. GM-free and organic, no doubt.

[batdog]

Blame the humans who own the dogs...not the dogs !!! (tu)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

albescent ordure - poetic enough DM? - ah that takes me back ...

[James]

In Paris they recently invested in a flash new dog poo removal machine. Maybe we need one of those?

[Brendan]

Poetry Dulwichmun? Well you asked for it.

If on a sunny ED morn or a dark and chilly night

I catch the bloody cynophile who thinks it?s somehow right

To walk their little poochi poo, mutt or thoroughbred

Up the path on which I live to my gate beside the shed

And there let it relieve itself in a most unpleasant way

That when I?m rushing out to work it fair can ruin my day

I will not stop and ask them why or even remonstrate

But their cranium and my cricket bat will swift acquaintance make

I?ll just be off then shall I?.

Likkle puppy poo in grass

Puppy owners: kick in ass.

[fractionater]

I'd say there is a direct correlation between the recent rise in 'chav' dog ownership and the level of excrement sloshing around our streets! Blame the chav's, who are to busy looking 'ard with there pitbulls, to be bovered to pick up the offending material!

[citizenED]

I saw a dog-poo hoover machine in operation over at Belair park during the summer. It wasn't falsh and new like the Paris model - rather like a golf-buggy with a giant vacuum attached. The guy was trolling around driving up to every bit of dog-do he could find and phhlupping up the offending morsels.

[Brendan]

Blegch! Sounds horrible!

I?ve been thinking. Instead of having to scrape your best friend?s doings off the pavement and into a bag, which can be quite unpleasant. Dogs catch on quick so why not train them to ?go? into the bag?

Perhaps even specially designed paper bags (like little doggy loos) that can be disposed of after a walk?

[peckhamboy]

Or you could just take a plastic bag, cut two little holes to poke the rear legs through and then use an elastic bind to secure it round the dog's midriff. No fuss, no mess.

A cork?

[fractionater]

A Nappy even?
