So let me get this straight; a neighbor, a fellow human, is walking down our streets where we live together, with his dog, which I bet he loves, which is, like a creature worthy of love as well, and he has a bag for dog shit. His dog shits, he puts it in a bag, because he doesn't want people stepping in it. Because, he's a human being, with a heart, with a dog that he loves, in a neighborhood full of people trying their best to get along. So this other guy is hiding in his house, and instead of walking outside, saying hey, let me take that for you so you don't have to walk home with it, and what's your name, by the way, and then they find they have all sorts of things in common, and they become friends, because really, they live in the same place, and are both trying to get along, and learn to love, and be accepted and part of the world they live in.

But uhhh, no. the guy in the house spews an anonymous intensely disproportionate amount of hatred, class warfare type sentiment, intolerance, judgment, dehumanizes the guy, throwing in a contempt for, wow, unity even. amazing. really amazing. damn that "unity" bullshit anyway, right?

Thank you again for helping me understand the roots of never ending war. Aggressive ownership of even a trash can (NOT really yours), lack of understanding that helping a guy helps yourself, and how hating on him twists you up into a shriveled up kinda guy...it's just fascinating.

I was behind my fence gardening and told her 'please don't put your dog shit in there' but she left it somewhere else on my property for spite - niiiice. The reason I'm a nazi about this is is because we have MONTHLY GARBAGE PICKUP - and that stuff does reek after a month. A sign on my garbage lid now reflect this %$#! situation. And would I prefer a pile on my lawn? No, but why should I have to choose? Your dog, your shit, your garbage. Plus, I got rid of all my lawn for several reasons, and this was one of them.

If it comes out of your dog's ass, it's your responsibility. Why do you think they're called shit-machines-on-four-legs?
Posted by Haku]]> Sat, 09 Apr 2011 19:08:16 -0700 Portland Mercury I am a first time city dwelling dog owner. Just got my dog a couple weeks ago and when I first read this I thought, "Oh, maybe this is some social (city) grace that I've never heard of." NOPE.
Yeah, I rent and I don't have a yard. This means a couple things: 1. Every time my dog needs to go out (4-5x) a take her out on a leash. 2. I take her on LONG walks (1-2x) in order to get her energy out so that she won't jump on you when we walk by you on the street. 3. My apartment trash can(which is full of shit) is 2 inches from my door step, where I sit on nice hot days after work. If the lid is closed, I don't notice it.
If you need to complain to someone talk to the city about the lack of public trash cans.
I will continue to put my dog's shit in your trash can if you have a problem with it, come out from behind your anonymous curtain and tell me to my face. Next time I might just light that bag on fire.

I think that could have been me. I walk my dogs and I pick up their shit in little bags and I do sometimes put them in my neighbor's garbage cans, if they are out on the curb. I don't have an REI jacket but I do like doing outdoor stuff and walk my dogs rain or shine, so do have a good rain jacket that looks like it could be from REI. I drop the bag off in a garbage can because I like taking my dogs on long walks and it is annoying to carry a smelly bag (yeah, it is smelly) for long distances, and people sometimes give you funny looks and avoid you if you're carrying a bag of shit in your hand. Anyways, sorry if you didn't want it in your garbage. I honestly didn't think I was causing any problem, but won't do it anymore - it is your garbage can, after all.

If operating at a level of hostility anywhere below Insane makes a person a kumbaya singing Mr. Rogers, then I guess I take that over being a bitter human raisin full of petty, misplaced rage.

Hey, the alternative to not putting your dog crap bag in my garbage can is taking it home and putting in in YOUR garbage can. It's not let your dog crap on my lawn. Seriously.

You know what, I don't own a dog because I am not a fan of dogs. Not everybody likes freakin' dogs. I don't like the smell of dog crap nor do I like it making my garage reek until the next garbage pick up, particularly in the summer.

So, if you just looooooooooove having a dog, then deal with the dog crap and deal with it at your own house, in your own garbage can.

I wouldn't want someone to come onto my property to put something in my can. But I'd be pissed that they're waltzing onto my property, not that they're using my garbage can.
