The doghouse

Why am I the only one holding used poo bags?

I mostly walk my boy in a rural, wooded area that is popular with dog walkers. People are pretty good with picking up their dog's poops. There are definitely not enough bins to dispose the bags so I'm often left carrying the mess for over an hour. But I literally never see anyone else doing the same.

Do they store the used bags in their pockets? Are they chucking them into the bushes etc?

What is the secret?

These bags are only 1p each - I’m guessing ASDA isn’t the only place that sells them (possibly not big enough for large poos though?)

Not countryside here, but we get dog poo bags dropped in our wheelie bins if we don’t fetch them straight back in after emptying (& sometimes in the recycling/garden waste bins, FFS. Great fun fishing those out 🤢)

Some people shouldn’t be allowed to have dogs Hmm

And TKMaxx do these. I use them for the cat poo I fish out of litter trays. They’re a good size (the bags, not the cat poo Grin)

Putting dog poo bags in wheelie bins that aren't yours is something I hate, I see people doing it all the time. We live in an urban area and people just walk into front yards and put them in wheelie bins.

The bastards leave them hanging on trees like shitty Christmas decorations. Honestly they are the worst people, worse than murderers and rapists in my book. Horrible people.

One dog goes as soon as I open the door in the morning. The other goes just before we get in the car to come home (next to poo bin).

Mine go in a coat pocket or bum bag in the summer (most street cred a long time ago...)

I do occasionally, but my dog very rarely poos outside her own garden, maybe once every two or three weeks she surprises me with an on walk poo.

I thought this today!!
We have a puppy and he’s my first dog (where I am responsible for the poos)
I thought I was making some weird rookie error!
I’d definitely seen other people ahead of us on the trail pick poos up
And I couldn’t see bags in the floor

Where is the secret poo hidey place?!

I have 2 dogs and one of them will go 2 or 3 times. I hand carry them - there are 2 public bins placed 1/3 and 2/3 of our walk. One of my dogs is very smart - he turns left and walks to the bin only when I'm carrying a poo bag. Smile
