Just spent 30 minutes out side in the freezing darkness scraping dog shit of the buggy wheels AGAIN.

Third time this week.

I have now graduated from planning to make little pirate flags to stick in rogue poos (it amused me anyway) to undergoing rigorous ninja training so that I can seek out the recalcitrant owners in the dark before the dawn and administer some broken limbs and harsh name calling.

Thoughts?

JUST GET BIG BANNERS PRINTED

OR TAKE PICTURES AND GET YOUR LOCAL RAG TO PRINT THEM,

I ALWAYS THOUGHT...

'MY DOG SHITS, I HAVE NO SHAME'

WAS A PERFECT CAMPAIN SLOGAN,

GOOD LUCK X X

Could you send them over to my neighbourhood when you've finished with them? We need some serious ninja action here too .

On the very disturbing side there was MASSIVE poo outside my friend's house this morning. Looked too big to be from a dog and I don't think there are any wild bears in London. IYSWIM.

Can I join? Dog crap has got really bad around here in the last month.

Ninkynorkstuckinthexmastree · 09/12/2008 21:29

I'll join. With my bulldozer.

Excellent! Can we get the owners of the cat who shat on my lettuces this summer too?

fucking cats are worse. smelly bastards.

JennstarOfWonder · 09/12/2008 21:32

Does it include the owners who do pick up and bag it and then chuck the bag in a hedge or through the wire of a playground fence?

Seriously though, my dh used to be a journalist on a local paper and actually did a story about it complete with pictures of dog shit with flags in ....

YANBU

tis one of my bugbears,especially after ds trod some dogshite into our brand new expensive carpet

I loved it recently when a guy up our street (A responsible dog owner,presumably)Laminated and posted the following message on his garden fence:

"To the F whose dog keeps S*** on my driveway and garden.

Please pick up your dogs***

I pick up my dogs' poo
So why can't YOU?

If you would like to discuss this further,please come and see me-but mind the Rottweiler.

If I see you I am informing the local council!"

The irony is he has a doggy poo bin on the lampost right near his house.

I did also consider taking photos of the shit and making posters:

FOUND! BROWN AND GLOSSY. COME AND PICK IT UP BEFORE I SHOVE IT THROUGH YOUR LETTER BOX.

I'm in!

When does training start?

I have a dog and i always ALWAYS pick it up. Its not nice and always warm, but i'm a responsaible adult!!!

MrsMerryHenry · 09/12/2008 21:37

joosey, where do you live? I saw a doggy diarrhoea this morning on top of a box (??). Maybe it's the same dog (and the same nasty owner)?

BarcodeZebra · 09/12/2008 21:39

Yeah, Hannah, the bitter irony from my point of view is that I had a dig for nearly 18 years and always picked up after her.

mrs merry, lol, i live in york.

on a box??? must have been a big dog!

jooseyfruit · 09/12/2008 21:42

owner was lovely, she would definatly have cleaned that box til it sparkled!

MrsMerryHenry · 09/12/2008 21:43

I live in London - unless the dog took the train last night?

It was just sitting on a pizza box. Right next to a park that's FILLED with dog poo bins. I mean, the owner could've just picked up the box and not had to touch the poo at all.

Am tempted to start leaving DS's pooey nappies on these people's doorsteps; see how they like it.

noonki · 09/12/2008 21:46

wrinklytum - do you live in wolvercote? I saw a similar sign outside my friends house the other day!

Where I used to live someone would draw around them in chalk and write 'no thankpoo'.

I HATE it, as a dog owner I always offer bags to people who don't pick up and act as if I am assuming that they have just run out.

PigeonPie · 09/12/2008 21:48

I'll join too. Only I know where the dog muck comes from which is deposited on our lawn .

I have asked our next door neighbour if he would clear up after his dog (wanted to say scrawny little apology for a dog, but thought I better not - and it's not the dog's fault it's not on a lead) as where his dog does his business is just where my DS1 gets into our car. Neighbour did manage to bend down and remove it once, but there's more there today grrrrr

I so want to package it up and post it back through their door, but in the interests of neighbourliness I suppose I better not.

CrackopentheBaileys · 09/12/2008 21:49

It's bloody disgusting..... eurgh!
I do often wonder if my anger is actually being vented at fox poo though?

Best just to smear it all over the windows in my opinion.
