A mum had her dog in the sandpit at Peckham Park today seriously!

Am I the only one that thinks this is totally insane? A dog in the Peckham rye sandpit? How is that ever ok? Quite clearly says on the gate no dogs! Dogs are never allowed in playhrounds!

No dog in the entire history of the world has ever been a nuisance of any kind. All dog owners know this

Dad asked Spot, can we go to the beach. No, said dad, we are banned as we sh*t in the sand. https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/311/311937/spot-goes-to-the-beach/9780241355503.html

The link merely confirms that there is a Penguin book called Spot goes to the beach. It shows the cover illustration of a dog and a penguin with their surfboards. I doubt it contains anything at all in the scatological department.

Hope it was wearing a mask.

There are a significant minority of people who have zero regard for others. Some of them have dogs. It's a bad combination.

I've never used the word scatological before and had to look it up. Thank heavens I never used it in casual conversation. I got the word 'sod' (of earth) mixed up with turd as a teenager, I expect 'turf' was on my mind. A good example of scatology? Dog poo in beaches is pretty horrid. As is human poo both raw and in sewage.

What in the children?s playground??? Ffs what are people like. I am a dog owner and that totally cheeses me off. There is enough dog allowed areas - and there are the dog on lead/ not allowed areas that must be respected.

I think the question needs to be asked, is it a playground or a playhound? Dogs are always allowed in the latter I'm pretty sure.

[maniana]

Maybe the dog had just done a poo so she knew it wouldn't do another one? Clearly it's not cool to bring a dog into a playground but perhaps there were circumstances we are all unaware of x

If it's a no dog area, it's a no dog area.

There's no debate to be had around other people managing their expectations otherwise, the clue's in the sign on the fence.

[andrewsmith]

I find that signs are often too high to read and I don?t notice them unless I?m either looking for them or they are right under my nose. Anyway, got to run - there?s a squirrel in my garden.

Nice .... takes me back to the 70s as a kid, doing the long jump into the sand pit at school during PE... usually a mine field of chod, teachers had to rake it before a lesson just incase due to dog walkers on the sports ground over the weekend. But sometimes they missed a lurking richard ... happy days.

[doogleflip]

This is totally unacceptable, however, I have now got a nice image in my head of a labrador building a sand castle...

Why post on here a rant - if you are not happy about it say something to the dog owner at the time. Has no impact on them ranting on here !
