Lauren, you are so right about that park, but you gave me an idea for my father!
He is 85 and still going strong, his hobby is waiting for people to let their dog go on his lawn{ he knows what time certain people walk} As soon as the dog starts to go, he walks outside with a shopping bag and asks "Do you need this"..If they say "yes", he'll ask if they were planning on picking it up with their hands! He retired from Law Enforcement when he was 75, now he is Poo Patrol...I am sending him to the park!
I love your dad! Good for him!
Great idea. Maybe when Tasha is all grown up we can teach her the Erika smile. Your dad can borrow her for extra impact!

"That your poop? That your poop, you tell me? You gonna pick it up, huh? Your gonna pick it up or shall just feed it to you? Here you go, son of a ditch, here you go!"

Oh Lord...I can see where this is heading. I'm as good at this kinda thing as I am at Randy's occassional song/lyric posts... I suck. But I do enjoy sitting back and watching the pros at work.
If one has ever played baseball, or even watched baseball.....playing ball becomes a whole nother game if no one is picking after their dogs.
All of our ball fields have been shut off to dogs now. Simply because a FEW people that won't pick up their garbage. Golf courses for the winter are already thinking about shutting it down for dogs and I fear the public parks aren't far behind.
That's what is happening here. We also had a great field right by the ocean that we even chipped in to install two big trash barrels and a poop-bag dispenser, and still ended up being 86ed because of the owners who didn't pick up. That was bad enough, but the baseball field with the fence was just so great to have access to ....

I'm getting mad all over again. Not just mad, but almost depressed, because I honestly don't see these spaces ever re-opening to dogs once they're closed. It's hard enough to maintain greenspace for humans in this economy; dog owners have to be super-vigilant. JMO.
I have been feeling the same. We lost access to a great fenced school yard due to irresponsible dog owners. It was perfect for training.
Totally jealous that you live so close to the ocean.
I feel your pain. Having raised 4 little boys, it is the SAME situation I found myself in plenty with small children. Just as there are some BAD dog owners out there, there are some BAAAAD parents. It's very difficult to see idiocy and not respond. But I have found most people just do not listen. You can vibe it out. You can feel it. If it feels like they are open, then test the waters. But if you can see the eyes glaze over, and there's no opening, save your breath. It's hard to do, I know, but after many years I have learned to keep my mouth shut a bit more.
I do like the idea of having some printed materials to hand out--esp when it comes to the safety and well-being of the animals. I cannot believe the moron with lunch meat and Chex. Cruel.
