Downtown Dog owners please take a moment and read this short but informative blog.
Do you know that it’s actually a city code, “Pooper Scooper” Law, to pick up after your pet?
I am amazed when I see owners letting their dog take a #2 in the grass and then leave it for others to step in it. I must say that I have found myself a few times without a baggy but will always find my way back to the spot to pick it up later. I was walking down along Fayetteville Street the other day and took a walk between two buildings. I was thinking, well this is really a nice little walkway, with shrubs and a monument noting the historical area. Unfortunately, the effect was ruined by all the droppings left behind by an irresponsible dog owner.
Please consider that removal of animal feces is not just a courtesy, it is an environmental necessity. I really don’t think that most people realize that your adorable dogs’ little #2 could end up in our drinking water, if it’s not picked up.
Let’s take control of our downtown and spread the word that we all should be picking up after our pets. I would be really interested in hearing from other downtown neighbors on how we can take control of this.
