Downtown Dog owners please take a moment and read this short but informative blog.   <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you know that it’s actually a city code, <\/span>“Pooper Scooper” Law<\/a>, to pick up after your pet?  <\/span><\/p>\n

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.   <\/span><\/p>\n

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.  <\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n
