..if I don't clean up after my dog when it poos on the pavement?

[JillybeansNW]

I think I would be if I had a dog
I have just been for morning round of school run, shops, random wander and the pushchair has been through some dog crap. I try to watch for the stuff and avoid it but when you are watching to see if you can cross the road, dodge the teenagers and stop the baby crying it isn't always possible.
I have to clean it before it comes into the house.
TO make matters worse when I knelt down to put some shopping in the pushchair basket I didn't notice the stuff on the wheels and it got on my jeans too! And my washing machine is on it's way out so I am trying not to do too much before the replacement arrives.
Arrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh

oh i know i was thinking today how gross my road is atm..
my 2 year old was telling me to clear it up today

What I don't get is why let your dog crap right in the middle of the pavement? Even if you do pick it up there's often a bit left behind, or if it's not a solid poo you can't and then it's all over the place, right where everyone walks/wheels. Why not heft your dog to the kerb or in by the wall if it squats? Never understood this...

YANBU one of my personal hates, our enclosed play area in the park is lovely but the minute you step outside it, it is dog shit city, the DC want to run you cannot allow them too
