DO YOUR DOODY!!!

It really annoys me to live in a dog friendly neighborhood with a few lazy, irresponsible, disrespectful dog owners. If you're choosing to take on the responsibility of adopting a dog then you're choosing all the responsibilities that come with it ... which includes curbing your pet. They've even made it easy people by providing drop off stations that include convenient "poop" bags (rather high quality ones too).

Not only is it unsightly, but it's unhealthy as animal droppings often contain harmful bacteria, such as e coli, salmonella, and giardias.

Here are some additional facts courtesy of 1800dogpoop.com
  1. Canine fecal matter is a top contributor to storm water pollution.
  2. Waste matter accumulation can negatively effect your lawns appearance and health.
  3. Dog waste cannot be used as a fertilizer.
  4. A pile can take a year or more to fully breakdown.
  5. Dog waste accumulation can attract mice and parasites.
  6. Dog's can be found in 3 out of 5 households in the U.S. That's a lot of poop.
  7. There Are Dog Waste Mangement Companies In Your Area Standing By.
I'm contacting my HOA today about the abundance of curbside poop in the neighborhood lately and I suggest you do the same if it's a problem in your neighborhoold.
