Dear Dog Owners,
I am urging all of you around the world to have respect for your fellow man, for society and perhaps for yourself. As a dog owner, one thing that really pisses me off is when other pet owners do not clean after their furry friend. If your pet decides that he or she needs to leave a “cupcake” anywhere, regardless of the area – on grass, on the sidewalk, the middle of the street, even the fenced in dog zones, than my dear friends I urge you, no, I demand that you ensure that those excrement’s are removed!
We own two beagles and regardless of hour or area we ensure that we always have plastic doggy bags with us and even in those one or two rare situations we ran out or might have forgotten – be creative. Use a leaf, find a napkin, go home and get something. It is the right thing to do. It is absolutely natural for your dog to sniff their way around and select an area to do their business, but its your business to ensure it becomes no one else’s business. It is quite that simple.
I have had some discussions with others around this topic and the simple matter of fact is that if you cannot clean up after your dog than you should not own a dog. Find someone who has the decency towards others to care enough about cleanliness to pick up after their dog. This way we avoid a**holes owning lovable pets. It doesn’t take much effort and if your grossed out than again, big red button with a large warning sign. Come to think of it I wish that everyone that just turned a cold shoulder would have a bright arrow floating atop of them with those bright bulbs around the outside lighting up like those neon disco lights way back when with “anti-social jackass” in big bold letters. Actually, from the bottom of my heart I wish all those jackasses that in that special moment, those moments where you don’t want anything to go wrong because those are your special shoes, that you go ahead and step in a nice “cupcake”. You know the kind that’s all mushy and goooey.
So my dear friends, I have stepped in a cupcake or two. I walk through grass all the time, but heck those are my dog shoes, so no big deal. Regardless, this is my call to all fellow dog owners. Pick up the s*** and throw it away.
Exception – your in the woods and its off the side of the trail. Don’t forget its biodegradable material we are talking about, so their I guess its okay.
Thank you and sincerely,
Hermann
