A Crappy Thing to Do

Dogs can do some pretty crappy things, people even more so. Every morning I walk my dog up Route 513, passed the elementary school. Every morning I pass the High Bridge Reformed Church. At some point they found it necessary to put a sign on the church lawn that says "no dogs on grass". The strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street is littered with poop. There are apparently several dog walkers that see fit to just allow their dogs to go there and quite frankly its disgusting and irresponsible. If you are doing this as a sign of disrespect because some church at some time in your life offended you or harmed you, uh, get over it. The elderly lady in her Sunday best that accidently stepped in your doggie pile has no idea about it. Nobody likes to clean up crap, especially someone else's crap, but guess what? When you signed up for dog ownership this is one of the things that comes along with it. Cleaning up after your dog is not as difficult as it sounds. I personally save all kinds of plastic bags that enter my house (no not plastic shopping bags, we use cloth), like those from frozen veggies, fresh produce, bread, etc. When you dog goes, just put the bag over your hand like a glove, grab the poop and pull the bag inside out over the poop. There you go. Now you can put it in your garbage can.
