Guys! The earlier poll was not working right and did not meet the stringent scientific demands of a Blogtown poll, so I restarted it. Feel free to vote again, because in the end, DEMOCRACY ALWAYS WINS. FUCK YOU, RUSSIA!!

Those comments died with the fucked up poll. SORRY! I know your words are golden coated dollops of dog poop which should not be thrown carelessly into the trash can, but science demands accuracy.

Teach your dog to shit in your own yard before you leave. It's remarkable what they can learn how to do.

EVEN BETTER DEAL! Drag your fucking trash cans from the street into your yard and I won't drop my dog's shitbag in your trashcan. Heck, leave your trashcans in the street much more and dropping plastic bags of shit into them is going to be the least of your problems. Today In Learning: when cut in half, plastic trashcans make excellent planters for your garden.

Since our garbage can lives in the basement, I feel the I Anonymous pain. It's pretty stinky, but that's why I make the people on the other side of the duplex keep it in their basement. Hahahahaha. Good thing they don't read this blog.

The danger of poop does motivate to put the can away pretty quickly, though.

Sacks of shit are for starting on fire and leaving at your neighbor's front door so they can stomp on it.

Seriously, people who treat their dogs like they can shit anywhere suck. Be responsible! It's not the dog's shit, it's the owner's garbage, and if you drop your garbage in my can, you suck.

A dog does not shit anywhere but where it's owner allows.

Well, the Russians have never liked polls.

"Poles," get it?

Ah, maybe I should've stayed dead.

If the garbage is out to be collected - yes. Dog waste should be in the garbage.

If the can has already been emptied - NO!

And don't put your dog poop in a green yard debris bin out at the curb.

I just had a brainstorm! (And, man, they're painful.) Dog owners who want to show solidarity should put bright "POO O.K." stickers on their garbage cans! Lazy shit-bag carriers could drop the poo in the first stickered can they come to. (And you'd better sticker your own can at home, dog-dirt-dropper. There's no bad karma like poo bad karma.)

Someone less lazy than me can design the sticker.

Todd. you are so boring.
I hope all your film burns up.
(on topic) A garbage can is for garbage. I, Anon should pull his finger out of his butt.

Forget the home owners.*
Forget the dog owners.*
How do the GARBAGE COLLECTORS feel about dog waste in the garbage, hmm? Lets hear from them.

JAx, you've addressed me in three out of your last seven comments. I know obsessive desire when I see it. Don't make me whip out my restraining order.

To me the issue is Where is the Trash Can? Curbside, OK, but if they had to come upon my property to get to the can, then no.
Speaking of doggy poop, it seemed for a time that folks taking their dog up to Forest Park would take the dog poop and put it into a (usually plastic) bag -- but then leave it by the trailside forsome mystery person to pick up later. I saw this again and again, and it seemed to me beyond rude to the point of stupidity.

Your dog- your poop! Walk the turd bag back to your house. Thank you.

The poop bags are generally biodegradeable now and so in a week or so the whole thing goes back into the earth.

SUCK IT DOG HATERS.

I'm a dog shit baggie hater. Invariably, the baggie ends up thrown in there in the 30 minutes between when the collector picks up the trash and when I can get the can pulled in from the curb and with a new trash liner. That means I have to pick up the warm baggie and put it who knows where as the trash only goes out once a month. I don't own a dog because I don't like crap. I have children for that.
But thank you dog owners who actually pick up the shit in the first place.

Putting poop in your own bin > putting poop in someone else's bin > leaving poop on the ground. #ThereIFixedIt
