I like to do my daily walking along the boardwalks within this beautiful city because it is easier on my joints and sometimes cooler in temperature. Signs are posted for dog owners to keep the dogs on a leash and to clean up after your dog. Why do you people who own small yappy dogs think you are exempt? Yesterday I was walking along the boardwalk in Eastern Passage and the piles of shit I had to dodge were incredible. Ahead of me was a lady (and I use that term loosely) walking two small yappers. One lifted its leg and pissed a stream of piss resembling that coming from a racehorse. The steam was still rolling off the piss by the time I walked past. Then the other dog let a pile of shit go on the boardwalk but the woman kept on walking. Everywhere you look are piles of shit, steaming fresh and fragrant (NOT!!) and we non-dog owners do not appreciate it! A little later she sits at the picnic table and lets the shit hounds lie on top of the table, you know, where the rest of us put our food. So now they get to rub their shitty asses all over the table top. Lady you may like these shit hounds but I do not. Clean up after your lousy pets, keep them on the stinking leash and keep them off the picnic table tops. Is that so much to ask? I plan on taking my cellphone next time and reporting each and every one of you shit hound lovers that break the rules to the SPCA. What makes you think the laws do not apply to you? —Wogdog

Rub the bitch’s nose in it. But leave the dogs alone >; )
While I agree with the spirit of this bitch, that owners should be responsible for picking up after their pets, I don’t know why you’re singling out smaller dogs. Dogs are dogs, they eliminate wherever and it’s up to the owner to pick it up. How are you supposed to pick up piss? They have to wear a belly band or diaper?
I think you’re one of those that don’t like smaller dogs and you’re blaming the ills of all dogs and their owners on them. As for the picnic table, put a table cloth down. It’s that simple. and chill out!
um yah, I have been hollering at the gulls to stop splatting their poop all over the picnic tables for a long time, doesn’t work. so i don’t put my sandwiches on the tables without a bit of paper under them. i R a rocket scientist, eh?
OB, I don’t think the SPCA will do anything to help this shitty problem. They don’t even have enough funding to help the stray cat problem. I highly doubt they will deal with dog shit. I agree with you on one thing, ob. It sure is gross.
You know what isn’t fun? Getting the “klingons” off of the feathery hindquarter fur of a rather highly strung cat.
Q’aplah!
henri didn’t seem to mind^^
HRM by-law enforcement is who you should be contacting. Not the SPCA. But even then, I’m not sure what good it will do. It’ll be hard to prove. Sure, you can take a picture but by the time the by-law enforcement arrives, the dog owner is going to be long gone.
Why the hell didn’t you say something to this lady? Speak up, next time. You don’t have to be rude, just firm. Better yet, (and this is what I’d do), carry a few poop bags with you and the next lazy/irresponsible dog owner you see letting their dog pinch one off on the boardwalk and walk away, you go bag it up and hand it to them and tell them they forgot something. If they start mickin’ off to you, then you can tear them a new one.
I’m a proud dog owner and I ALWAYS clean up after her. And not so much because it’s a by-law but more because it is just common friggin’ courtesy. The EP boardwalk is a public space and is available for use by anyone. Lazy dog owners piss me off because they give the rest of us responsible ones a bad name.
As for the picnic table, well, I live in EP. Little dogs sitting on the table top is tame compared to what has been known to go on down there.
LOL Painey – Henri is too busy blaming all the world’s ills on l’idiot blanc.
No I’m not partial to little dogs, they were the ones that happened to be in front of me that day. I like dogs and cats. It is the irresponsible owners that piss me off. And regarding the streams of piss the let fly, why not just put your yapper on the grass and let them piss there? Another thing that ticks me off is that when I go walking I am on a mission of sorts: To get my fitness in, I am not there to chat. A ‘good afternoon’ is fine and then let’s just leave it at that. I find the people with the little dogs are there to drum up a conversation. Let’s get one thing straight: I am NOT interested in chatting to You or smiling at your yapper. I am there for fitness reasons ONLY so keep your yap and your yapper out of my way.
