Pick Up The Pooh

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Captain DooCaptain Doo apprehends a dog owner who did not pick-up after his pet does her business. The message is simple: “Pick up the pooh.”

Cosmo Dog Park in Gilbert, AZ, is a beautiful area to bring dogs. Humans can appreciate it more than their pets. It’s complete with amenities like “Mutt-Mitt” waste disposal stations, separate use area for active and timid dogs, pet drinking fountains and wash stations, and area lighting for night use. There’s even an amphitheatre. (Say what?! Is that for the dogs or humans?)

So why do pet owners leave them pooh?!? Them dogs do not know better. Where’s the responsibility? Don’t even try to blame them dogs. How hard is it to pick up them pooh when poop bags are already provided?

I feel bad for the neighboring (human) community situated right next to the park.

Park rules are posted at the entrance and designated locations within the park. It’s amazing the town has to still remind irresponsible people of the rules and public health. While Captain Doo may get their attention, maybe it’s better to “Pick up the pooh or lose Fido!” Woof!
