Do You Think They'd Be On With That?


Well, ok. Hello World!

New to Victoria. Been here about 5 months. Really a beautiful city, but honestly, I do have a few points for overall and general improvement.

I'll cut to the chase and get to it...

Honestly... my topic today is: dog poop. It's a sticky, smelly issue and it's driving me nuts.

I have a big dog, and my big dog has big poop. But you know, I am responsible for my dog... and to my disgust, his poop.

I'd rather not be. I'd rather he stopped pooping altogether. Yes, it would be a little tough on him, but much more pleasant for me.

But that is truly not my point. My point is, I do pick it up and dispose of it. I do carry around a pocket full of little bio-degradable, eco-friendly, doggy poop bags, and I do what needs to be done (oh yes, and as you walk towards me, dog on leash, I am checking to see if you have any poo bags tucked into your pocket... I'm watching... I am quietly passing judgement...)

But again - that's not my point. My point is this: not every dog owner takes their doggy poo responsibilities as seriously as I do. And as a result, one must be so careful while walking - and that goes for non-dog owners and dog owners alike.

The boulevards are like minefields! Sneakers beware lest you plant one squarely upon a freshly laid, squishy dollop of yuck!

I do have a suggestion though, a possible solution.

I propose that when any of us should witness a wayward dog owner leaving it's dogs remnants lying about, that as the unsuspecting ninny walks calmly and casually away from it (doi-dee doi- dee-dooo... dog poo - what dog poo there on the grass? no, my dog did not poop. my dog is well trained and uses a toilet at home - he is not a public pooper...) that we, as witnesses to the event, should get out our dog poo chuckers and fling the smelly, steaming mess directly at the back head of the offending dog owner.

As my good friend Jacqui would say: Do you think they'd be on with that?

Hmmm - I don't know... Would you be on with that?

Oh, I would. Yes, I really would. I bet that would get their attention.

I am so on with that. Further more, I think we should be paid for it.

Morgana the brave
Morgana the true
watch out behind you
... she's chucking dog poo
hahaha - and gitt'in paid
... that's poetic justice
that's poetry in motion
just a though ;o)
...ok, half a thought. If we're keeping score.
Half point. Half thought.
Alright - away with you. We're done for the day.
