Dog walkers of Eastern Passage! Pick up your pooch’s poo! We just had a beautiful new sidewalk installed along Shore Road that I’ve been waiting to see for over 20 years and every single day since its installation I find dog turds left to decompose on it everywhere! It’s not difficult: Bring a bag, turn it inside out and cover your hand like a glove, pick up the poo and turn the bag inside and tie it up. Done. It won’t kill you to hang onto it until you get home to chuck in the garbage. It’s gross. Pick it up! —Poop Patrol

Carrying a bag for your dog’s poo can become a stomach churning event … so a word for the more queasy of us: double bagging it makes for a whole lot less smell.
