The newspaper comes in a nice plastic bag that I stash and use as a poop bag. It's long and perfect to use as a shiat mitt. (No political jokes, please, I happen to like Romney.....)

I didn't mention, in my original rant, the people who don't even bother the let the dogs get to the poop park.

There is an area between the parking lot and the building where people let the dogs poop on the sidewalk and grass area. I won't let Tuck poop or pee near the building - Poor dog looks back at me and practically begs me to go whiz......"Dad, can I go here?"

But, I think that is part of teaching the dog how to be a good pet citizen.

Someone left two different dogs drop a deuce near the walkway and one of the smaller turds was just left on the sidewalk. I know what you mean about the Huge Dog/Huge Deposit. there is a giant Dobie that goes for a walk and I never see the owner with any kind of bag or paper in their hands.

I also know that the dogs only come out either early or late. When the lazy owners can get away with it.

I guess as long as there are unresponsible pet owners on the planet, the problem will go on.
