The dog mess is back

The misses and I decided to clear up at the front of the house after the snow. There was some litter which I suppose was inevitable when the bin men came in the snow but two weeks late. What I did not expect though was the amount of dog mess on the front grass. This irritates me as much as the smoking at the hospital and I see it as a serious social evil. The irresponsible owners couldn’t be bothered to clean up after their pets in the snow. I think it’s time for another poster but not so polite this time. We have a dog mess disposal bin on a lamp post about 300yds away and two nice new litter bins one at each end of our road.
On the bright side the garden seems to have survived pretty well with only a few casualties and a lot of new growth starting to form. Many spring flowers were starting to peep through and my favourite crocus fairy rings were starting to show.
The hour in the garden though really tired me out and reminded me just how much my physical condition has deteriorated since I last did some gardening. With any luck though I hope to continue to be able to at least mow the grass for a few more months when spring is here.

A great poster this one-i am printing it off and putting it through the letter box of the people who do it in my road.i wish their was more enforcement from council/pcsr's instead of saying its each others responsibility.

Margaret, I've caught the culprit I just need to find out now who it belongs too. It's a lovely old brown labrador who wouldn't hurt a fly. Lives in our road I think. Better still I have a couple of witnesses.
