To think the time has come for zero tolerance over letting your dog sh*t on the pavement!!!

I've just spent half an hour scrubbing dog shit off the wheels of the pushchair and from the soles of DD1's trainers.

I've had enough of this happening regularly on the path that leads past school and into the park. It's difficult to always avoid when you've got a 5yr old, a 2yr old and baby in the buggy.

I just think it's unbelievably inconsiderate and something needs to be done. String 'em up I say!

I always bin it.

Bags of the stuff every week.

In fact, I considered this morning, when I was dragging the bin bags to the corner, that taking into account the two rottweilers and the one year old, 40% of my weekly rubbish must be nappy bags full of poo.

It's going to be different now that the baby will want to play in the garden, but I have been guilty in the past of leaving the back garden for a few days until a frosty morning, when it is a million times faster to pick up.

I hate it, but I always, always pick it up, wherever we may be, even when Ff was strapped to my chest in the Bushbaby I would lean over as best I could without dangling her in it to pick up.

Ooh, and there is a bloody cat that keeps coming into my garden to poo. Bravest cat in the world, obviously, but if I ever see it I am letting the dogs out.
