Counted the piles of dog turds along the Brenton St. sidewalk behind Park Victoria. In less than one block we counted 1, 2, 3… 14, 15… 78, 79, 80… 98, 99, ONE HUNDRED! Fresh, frozen and thawed—100 neat little fecal gifts from our four-legged friends. —Urban Organic Farming Enthusiast

Wowsa, how fuking sad is your life….
Nice round number. High density poo.
You’re absolutely sure that it’s all canine?. Could be panhandlers and juggaloes making their contribution to sustainable urban gardening.
I park my car at Park Vic…I’ve only seen a few…but you’re right OP it’s a lot and gross. South end f’n dog owners!!!
that is truely disgusting, counting that many piles of shit, on one street. do you know the people that own the dogs that dropped it there? if so, you might want to make a call to the boys in blue, and see what they can do. oher than that, call them out loudly, if you see said dog again doing it, and owner not picking it up.
We were walking our dogs in Point Pleasant Park on Saturday and noticed owners who obviously neglected to clean up after their animals sometime during the multiple snowfalls. It’s not that difficult…..tie a grocery bag around the leash, or keep one in your pocket. If your dog makes a mess, pick up with the bag and deposit it in a garbage can or at a bus stop.
When people see sebastian and his german sheppherd people say, “Look, it’s a dog walking the turd it just had!”

I pick up after my dog.
Speaking from an urban garden perspective, it’s the free range cats that irritate me. They love freshly turned soil.
Is it humane to live trap a feline pest only to release it into the wild where it will be hunted and eaten by some larger predator? I need to know before the growing season begins.
OMFG enough time to count poo.
hmmm… and they wonder why it’s so difficult to find apartments that allow dogs….
ho hum…
A coyote will decide for you Commandante. I am not approving, just saying that it will.
That and every dog owner CLAIMS their dog is “different” and doesn’t ruin shit, zed.
I had 2 dogs..one that ruined shit and one that was perfect (except for the shedding everywhere and the fact that she thought she was a puppy but weighed 90 lbs). Either way I don’t think it’s right to have a large dog in an apartment. sorry.
