to wonder why there is so much dog crap everywhere recently?

For the last fortnight the long road from our house has been covered in muck. Literally every few paces there is a huge steaming pile. There must be a reason it has got so much worse - either people don't want to take their gloves off to pick it up or someone has been walking their pet lion.
I have to take ds with me in the pushchair and it's becoming difficult to stay on the pavement without wheeling through it.
I'm already dreading the dog shit slalom school run tomorrow.

It's because it's dark and the inconsiderate bastards think people won't see them not clearing up.
My village is lovely but it is full of crap, especially on the road leading to primary school and It is disgusting.

I've noticed loads more dog shit than's the norm turning the road our school's on into dog shit alley.

It makes it worse when you see little shoe prints or pushchair tracks in it.

We've even got some white shit that's taken root

I clean it up if it's outside our house.

I don't mind sorting our dogs business out when needs be, but cleaning it up somebody elses when it's cold is revolting Envy

The same situation on the way to my kids primary.

There seem to be very many irresponsible dog owners around.

devonshiredumpling · 24/11/2011 21:28

we have the dog poo in bags placed or thrown in a shrub in our front garden so i am not impressed Shock

I thought it was because some dogs are now status symbols plus there are higher penalties for carrying knives. I'd be willing to bet my house that all the teenagers walking dogs aren't carrying poop-bags with them. The kids use the trees in the park to train their dogs for dog-fighting, doubt they poop-a-scoop.

It's everywhere these days.

I've noticed there tends to be more when it rains, I assume some dog owners think it's a lot more water soluble than is actually the case. Hmm

It's bloody disgusting and I hate dog owners today. ds trod in some this evening and it's so ingrained in his shoes I might even have to throw them away Angry

I think the lazy fuckers think they can get away with it at the moment as it's hidden under the squelchy leaves.

Fuckers. And their dogs.

Ds stood in some least week then tried to put his feet on my lap on the bus . Luckily I noticed just in time and managed to whip his shoe off and put it in a carrier bag.

This time last year when everything was frozen and snowed over there was a horrible dog shit layer cake as the snow built up, then you could see the pavement shit coverage when the snow melted Envy Envy

YULEingFanjo · 24/11/2011 21:39

because this country has gone to the dogs?

MrsWifty · 24/11/2011 21:47

I was thinking the very same thing today, but came to the conclusion it was just me getting old. I was considering writing a letter to the local paper, but will probably just make do with moaning about it here instead.

Dirty fuckers though.

People don't seem to care about this stuff like they used to. I've seen people send their dogs to the grassed area near my house to do their turds and then call them back afterwards, no intention of clearing up.

It's gross, but obviously totally the fault of irresponsible owners.

blackeyedsusan · 24/11/2011 23:18

it is the same on the rooad near school. 5 piles of poo, one new one a day, similar colour, propbably the same dog.
