people that don't clean their dogs crap up

    Should be rounded up and force fed it on a slice of bread.

    Collected the kids from the baby sitters, on the walk back (5 mins) to our house, dark evening etc and the 3 year old is walking ever so slightly behind me, pushing the baby in a buggy.

    Shortly before home, she tells me "daddy I have muck on my shoes and hand". Turn round to see her hand plastered in dogs muck, and her week old shoes covered in it.

    These things happen, granted. She was holding a little bag of jellies at the time so Needless to say could have been much worse.

    Honestly though, what is it with people that don't bother their holes picking up after their dogs? Apart from the mess and smell, it literally could be life threatening where kids are concerned.

    I've just cleaned her off, washed her hands and face several times, scrubbed the shoes she was wearing. Then I went out and cleaned up the shiite on the foot path that some irresponsible dog owner couldn't be bothered doing. (So no one else walks through it)

    **** :mad:

    would it not be better to teach her not to pick up stuff thats on the footpath?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,605 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    It's embarrassing I suppose plus its Shoite
    Don't think I've ever seen anyone pick it up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,433 ✭✭✭wandatowell


    I've seen it plenty down my way, people walking their dogs with a bag with the dog sh*t in it.

    It is disgusting when there is dog **** on footpaths but its become a lot less in the passed 3+ years than it was before.

    Its not really, I have a dog and get the wee bags and I always pick it up (granted if she has ran off into the middle of the bushes or something then I leave it cause nobody going near it!

    They only put up bins for dog crap in Letterkenny last month before I'd have to carry it for the 2k walk home

    She didn't pick it up dannie, she reached down to feel what was on the soles of her shoes ad 'they were slippy' .

    I warned her about picking items off the ground, and to old her that she should never touch any dirt ion the soles of her shoes.

    She's only turned 3 a month though. Still very young.

    Agree 100% OP, told a woman once, who was standing there, waiting for her dog to have a sh1te on the public footpath, that it was worth €150.00 fine, she shrugged her shoulders, the cow. Next time I'll be videoing her and giving it to the community warden.

    Why people can't carry a goddamn plastic bag in their pocket and lift it after is beyond me.

    Came home one day with sh1te all over the wheels of the pram, had to carry it through the house to hose someones elses filth off a baby's pram. Grrrrrrrrr

    My rant is to those irresponsible dog owners, I understand there are plenty of dog owners that pick up after their dogs.

    we have signs saying any bin will do.

    I've never picked up after my dog but in my defence he always goes into a bush or under heavy growth to do his business when I'm walking him. I'm not climbing into a ditch to pick up no shit.. I don't care who that annoys or offends!

    I have a rough idea of the culprit.

    Witnessed him several times watching his dog crapping in our estate , then just sauntering off without a care in the world, dog on lead too.

    Old guy late 60s/early 70s. Doesn't even live in here. Seems he walks his dog here just to relieve itself. He was challenged by the local school not so long ago after the dog did it's business right outside. Shrugged his shoulders and walked on apparently.

    Alright fair enough I guess thats understandable. Kids don't relate X to be bad until later when they are (for lack of a better word) conditioned.

    Yeah we had one bin on the entire walk that we pass at the very beginning/end but this special one has bags in it if you forget/don't have one, its a nice addition to a very popular route

    Video the clown on your phone and report him to the council community warden, a few fines of €150.00 will soon soften his cough.

    Try growing up in Killarney where there is horse shite everywhere..

    I walked past the Ulster Bank one day a couple of years ago and saw a massive pile of excrement in the corner. I'm fairly sure it was from a human because there was about five sheets of toilet paper on top of it.

    I make my dog eat it. Saves me cleaning it up. I feel guilty though when we get home and he licks the kids faces.

    Should he teach her to see in the dark while he's at it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭UCDVet

    Racist.

    Er, he's not being racist. He's used an analogy about giving birth, poo is brown, therefore the 'child' would be brown in colour. A racist discriminates or holds prejudice based on race.

    Don't read too deeply into someone taking a ****e.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 959 ✭✭✭MonsterCookie


    Confession time...I'm a reformed offender.

    In recent years I guess I just came to the realisation that leaving the dog **** without picking it up was just, well, a ****ty thing to do. I always carry nappy bags with me and always pick up.

    Anyway, OP, if the offender in your case has any conscience he should respond to a little encouragement. Suggestions of videoing or taking photos are worthy of consideration also...how about you start by politely explaining what happend with your 3 year old and outline in a non confrontational way how easy it would be for the Cnut to pick up his dogs **** compared to how stressful etc it is for the unwitting victims! If he acts the dick then at least you've tried.

    Oh key Duh key.

    What about cat poo?
    Who should pick that up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 661 ✭✭✭masti123


    I cant let me kids out to play without them picking up syringes, dog sh!t is the least of my worries lol

    I've never picked up after my dog

    I don't care who that annoys or offends!

    Sums up what's wrong with our planet. Stupid, ignorant people.

    We need to cull 80% of the population & start fresh.

    The owners would do it, because all the w*nkers who don't would be dead.
