This is one post which won’t have a picture associated with it!
I know I walk dogs and I am sometimes called upon to do a dog poo clean-up of backyards for my customers (if there is a function or the house is up for sale or whatever), all of which is fine. I am however appalled at the amount of dog poo which is out there especially as I am the one most likely to walk in it if it is within a couple of kilometre radius.
Our team routinely keeps a supply of bags on us and also in the van as a backup. Many dog parks nowadays have dispensers with bags for FREE. If caught short, most dog owners are even happy to share! It is not a difficult task…
I have been on a mission over the last few months to add one additional poo pickup each time we’re out – either just Buddy and me, or with a group of dogs. I know it won’t solve the problem overnight but it is so easy to do. Our mission began when my neighbours (most have dogs) and I became unhappy with the amount of dog poo around so we decided that rather than complain to each other we would become the solution!
We all know that owning a dog is good for us. They bring us such joy and I would like more people to know the same feeling. A simple poo pickup helps remove a major perceived negative of dog ownership and promotes our open areas even more. Go on join in the mission – one extra poo pickup is so easy.
