Grrrrr this is a huge peeve of mine. People bring along dogs to events and complain they aren't treated as well as they think they should be or that they have to pay a deposit. IF THEY'D PICK UP THE DOG MESS THAT WOULD NOT HAPPEN!!! We are at a RV rally in Georgia. I brought 2 of my RRs with us. I set up an ex pen and my pooper scooper and bucket. My camp site is tidy and nice looking. There must be 5-6 thousand people here. And many brought dogs. Most are teeny tiny dogs , but there are a few big kids like mine, A Wiem, a couple of pointers, boxers and danes. We big dog folks are never seen without a bag to pick up pooh. The little dog folks never seem to have one, ever! Walking my furkids earlier there was a man with a mutt and a Boston Terrier. He wandered about them assuring everone how friendly they are and how much they loved to be petted etc... As he is talking about what great traveling buddies they are for the wifie and him both dogs begin to potty and pooh . Now I am sure most of you know that some dogs simply have to walk while they potty making sure they spread it as much as possible....
I politely listened to his stories as the dogs did thier business and waited for him to pull our a bag. No bag. I pulled out two of mine. He waved me off as I offered them , "That's okay", he said with a smile." It's tiny turds like my dogs and we don't have to pick them up. ((!!!!))"
Going by the number of small sized piles I guess most of the little dog folk think this way ! Only two days into the Rally and it is already becoming a mine field! With a brand new coach that has cream colored carpets I don't want this stuff being tracked into my rig! I bit my tongue and once again offered bags, he looked perplexed then said "it will desolve into the grass..." Gritting my teeth I explained about the probability of stepping into it and tracking it into the RVS, he began to look a tad uncomfortable, but when I pointed out many , many illnesses are transmitted by feces he took the offered bags. Why should we have to educated grown folks on something so basic? It does not make sense to me! My back yard is kept clean, I pick up my front yard because people let thier mangy mutts out to potty in everyone else's yard. Now we are running the risk of not being able to bring our dogs to the Rally because of morons who think it is a right to leave thier pet waste everywhere. Yeck !!
