Poo picker or poo leaver, that is the question! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

jpb1971 · 05-31-2005, 08:13 AM

When you guys take your babies for walks, do you pick up the poo or leave it. I live in an apartment, and there is a fine if they find you not picking up your babies poo. So the questions is:

Are you a poo picker or a poo leaver?

Ponder this for a moment.

I am definitly a poo-picker!! LOL. It seems like people come from all over to have their dogs go in front of my house - so I know how annoying it can be! My boyfriend wants to put one of those plastic bag dispensers on our front gate so that people will start picking up - but I think that is a little too ghetto for me!!! LOL

I use that old "Do unto others..." philosophy and thus I am a picker. I live in a house and there is at least one neighbor's dog who keeps pooing in my yard and his owner is definitely a leaver - and it is ANNOYING!

It is one thing to have your own dog's poo in your yard, but totally another thing when other dogs (and their owners) treat your yard like their toilet. Plus, I am not a picker by pure joy of the act, so picking up additional poo really sucks! It is not only rude but unsanitary since many nasty organisms can be passed from dog-to-dog through poo.

So as unpleasant as it may be - I pick.

I am definitely a poo picker. My yard is too small and would be covered with poo very quickly if I didn't. Besides I have alot of flowers planted if they poo in the flowers I leave it for fertilizer.

I am mostly a picker, now before I get my head chopped off I have a good reson, there is one slimy neighbor that for the last 3 years I have asked over, and over agin to please not let his dog do his business in my yard and walk away from it to no avail. I actully catch him often, so finally I started taking Isis and NOva (my dobies ) over there for them to poop, he finally got the idea it wsnt nice to do. Though occasionally still does it. But other than that I am a picker, it is a law here with big fines

Call me a "picker"...

I began as a picker with my greyhound....Lori (RIP)....those piles were just WAY TOO MUCH to just leave laying......and as the grandkids started appearing it was mandatory to keep the yard 'cleaned up' ......

Now, Lori is gone, but the picker habit remains.

When out and about (at the outlet mall and such) I feel like everyone is watching me to see what I will do....I keep little baggies in my pocket at all times....

I'm a poo picker! We live in the country and have a large yard. Still - I don't want myself, my kids or Sophie stepping in her poo! Also, I don't want to leave her poo lying anywhere, even at the dog park.

Speaking of which, I walk at a human park every morning and it frustrates me to see boulder sized dog poo left there by irresponsible dog owners!!

redneckwoman · 05-31-2005, 09:15 AM

picker here don't like folks letting their dogs poo in my yard so baylee's tootsie rolls get picked up

Noah'smum · 05-31-2005, 09:18 AM

Over here in England it is law that you clean up after your dogs but of course not everybody does, we always have done, we have Noah our little yorkie and William our Springer who has BIG ones, a tip for you we use baby scented nappy bags i think you call them diapers well over here they are cheaper to buy and smell a lot nicer than the ordinary poo bags, so if you have to carry them to the waste bin they smell a little nicer

browniesmom622 · 05-31-2005, 09:26 AM

if i take my dogs for a walk ill leave the poop infront of someones house that i know there a leaver they wanna do it to me well see how much they like it lol

LvMyYorki · 05-31-2005, 09:30 AM

Definitely a "picker"... I'm a believer in karma and I just know that if I am a "leaver" that at some point I will have the unfortunate experience of being a "stepper"!!!

Rem&Silkmom · 05-31-2005, 09:33 AM

Its the law in Virginia in my city Chesapeake. People choose to ignore it but I pick it up unless they go in my own yard. I have actually been walking down the street and seen dog poo in the middle of the street. We also have a leash law and you dog must be on a leash too...but people also ignore that too.

Definitely wouldn't know because he never goes poop or pee when we take him for walks. Thank God. Is that normal?

Yorkie24U · 05-31-2005, 10:23 AM

Our girls use indoor 'potty pads' complete with a 'Diaper' disposal system year round, but if we were to take them out at all we'd be "pickers" also.

Its so rude and unsanitary not to mention the nasty organisms that are spread by not picking up.

Lets insist on a new law " PICK IT or TICKET "...............
