TeeAyBee Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I think that this thread has lost its way somewhat. Perhaps Mods, now is time to do the kindest thing and lock it out. Or paint it pink and drop it in a doggie poo bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Well, not entirely Tee. A couple of divergent posts, one highly dubious, people may come back with some genuine comment on what is, by it's very nature, a crap subject. It's an interesting point actually, that given Hatman's absurd comment on the matter, perhaps people who currently take their pet pooches along the road to crap on someone else's doorstep and leave it there will care no more whether the faecal deposit is painted pink or has a rotating beacon planted upon it. They are perhaps more likely to scoff at the poor souls running around on turd patrol who have to paint them. For a time anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattie Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 My dog did a poo tonight and I was horrified that I couldn't pick it all up as he had a bout of diarrhoea!! I even got it all over my hands as I wrestled between him and the plastic bag!!Nobody yet has mentioned here on this debate loose poos!! if a dog has diarrhoea what the hell do you do? I must admit it is embarrasing trying to clean this up with only plastic bags. You just can't do it!! So what do you do?My dog usually poops in the garden before I walk him!!

MuckleJoannie Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I notice people are starting to tie bags of dog poo to the fence between the Bridge of Fitch and the Black Gaet. I don't fancy going by there the next time there is gale! (for those of you who are not familiar with the area there is long section of the old road that is popular for dog walking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenman Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 like i have already stated there is alack of doggie bins in shetland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piggywiggie Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 We fought for ages to get bins up the sound area. Now there are two yet you still find dog poo everywhere. I always pick it up. As for when ur dog has nice lovely watery poops it is VERY difficult to get it cleaned up. But you can only do your best really. Anyone have suggestions when they are watery? Well any other suggestions than carrying a water bottle around to squirt whatever you cant pick up? Maybe someone could go onto Dragons Den with an invention?!Oh and also...does anyone else find it very messy when dog poop get sprayed pink and then when the dog poop is gone it looks like someone has been spray painting the paths?!

khitajrah Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Out of curiosity, aren't there laws that are supposed to discourage dog owners from letting their horrid little creatures run amok and poo where they please (and destroy your plants in the process?). Where's the Shetland dog catcher when you need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khitajrah Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 khitajrah, do you mean something like this? Yes, I suppose I do! However, I don't know how it would apply with a dog hopping from one private garden into another, attempting to leave a present in the middle of the nice new lawn (fella chased it off mid-squat) and digging up the remaining nasturtium plant that the council didn't accidentally strim the other day (new guy, made a mistake and stimmed my flowerbed). Being a woman I have already tried Plan A: Talking nicely with dog's owner. It didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlady Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I thought dogs weren't supposed to be "allowed to roam" now? So your neighbours dog could be caught by the dog catcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
