Dog owners who dont clear up

[Jimmyv]

You know who you are. For the third time this year I have trodden in your beloved pet's crap? Please clean it up. Beauval Rd is literally carpeted with it. Do the decent thing please. It is horrendous

[lane lover]

Excellent ... yet another pointless dog poo thread.

[keane]

Excellent - yet another pointless jibe from Lane Lover reading threads he or she is doesn't have to read!

[keane]

Sorry scrub the typo 'is' or I may get pulled up on my grammar too.

[keane]

Jimmy v - I agree with you, the dog poo problem on the pavements of East Dulwich is out of control. It is worth ringing the council as sometimes they come out and have a clean up if there is a lot.

[Jimmyv]

Thanks I will try that. Love to know why it is pointless to wish that the streets aren't covered in crap?

[lane lover]

Like the turds on the street, these threads are hard to miss.

I am still not sure what the purpose of moaning about poo on the forum is. It wont move the poo.

Contact the councillors directly (details regularly posted on the forum), or speak to the owners at the time (where possible).

[Jimmyv]

I was not aware that dog owners don't read the Forum! Should have been clear.

If just one dog owner reads it and picks up their crap then I suggest it has done the area a service

[lane lover]

Do you think by reading a whinge on the forum, they will pick up poo?

Once a lazy dog owner, always a lazy dog owner ...

[Jimmyv]

In that case I won't mention it again. Sorry for wasting your time, which you appear to be delighted to do.

"I am still not sure what the purpose of moaning about poo on the forum is"

Perhaps the purpose could be for those of us who have a dog to prove their innocence and thereby remove themselves from any associated opprobrium. So here goes:

I have never walked my dog down Beauval Road. If I did and it crapped I would pick it up.

Will others follow my example?

[antantant]

Yet again we have an inflamatory thread with an implied group aspersion as its subject line.

I am not a dog owner. I do feel that continually singling out any group in society is not appropriate. Even if then limiting your wrath to "just the bad ones".

Just my thoughts.

[taper]

You are hereby added to the short list of the innocent.

[Jimmyv]

I will rephrase the heading.

Dog owners who don't clear up your dogs excrement. You know who you are.

Genuinely sorry for the unfair generalisation

[antantant]

Thanks for that :)

Totally agree with you jummyv. It is nasty and I along with my young children are fed up of dodging it on the pavements. As to how many times u have had to wash it off the buggy wheels that's another thread!!!!

[Jimmyv]

-- moved topic --

[tallulah71]

I'm with Lane Lover (again). I read this because the title was 'Dog Owners' - which I am. I have read all the threads on dog sh*t and I have not noticed any less of it around. You are wasting your time - we ALL hate it, no-one thinks, 'ooh goody another pile of dog mess'....Clearly the lazy assholes aren't readers of this forum, or they are and they don't care. But people constantly moaning about it in threads such as this as opposed to getting in touch with whomever can suposedly make a difference, really is a bit tedious.

[Jimmyv]

I know many responsible dog owners and accept my post was borne of anger BUT please do not say we should let it pass as it happens and can't be altered. I have said sorry for the generalisation but do not care who I annoy if I continue to complain about having to throw away decent shoes because a limited number of dog owners behave like arses? As long as there is one ED dog owner who refusesto clean up then people have the right to complain

[Mick Mac]

Friern Road has been clear for two days now. Going for the hat trick tomoz. Very exshited about the prospect.

[sheilarose]

Jimmyv -- you say you will rephrase the heading. Please do so, and put in something that indicates that the thread is about dog poo, because if I'd known that I wouldn't have wasted my time by opening it.

[Jimmyv]

Why are so people so precious on here? It is hardly a crime to get peoples attention for a very valid point. Surely if you are a responsible dog owner then you would read and support my rant rather than criticize it

[legalbeagle]

To be fair to OP, lots of threads on the EDF are essentially not going to change anything at all ever, but they are still here. We rant about stuff we want to rant about, probably without expecting much to change. It's just the way we are, innit.

Lots of love,

Crap Clearing Dog Owner.

Agreed. AND if a bit of venting makes someone feel better about a genuine issue then what's the harm? No one's forced to read the thread...

[tallulah71]

No-one said we were forced to read it - but the original title was ambivalent. And "literally carpeted"....? Dogs are getting cleverer and cleverer.
