Dog poo
September 17th, 2005 -- Posted in What's the deal with.. ? | 5 Comments »I’m currently at home in LA on my last day of a 4-day. I’ve been down here attending the Microsoft PDC (Professional Developers Conference) which was interesting.
My parents live in a townhome community of about 20 or 30 homes gated into our own little bubble. The houses here are nice but one thing that lacks are yards (front and back) from any home. It’s not a big deal since we still have our concrete walkways.
I was walking around this morning when I was started by a huge rottweiler (i think) that seemed to be confined to someone’s 8×10 porch space (?). First of all, the barking almost made me crap my pants. Secondly, I don’t see what these people are thinking having a dog that 1) lives in such a confined space, 2) doens’t have a yard to run in (it was sitting on concrete steps) and 3) has a dog that obviously barks in an area where homes are fairly close together. What were these people thinking?? I hope they were dog sitting for the day.
What finally prompted me to write about this were the 2 or 3 piles of dog POO I saw on the said walkways!! What is up with THAT?! First they have a dog in an environment that I think is not fair for a dog (AND the neighbors) and now there’s dog POO right smack in the middle of the walkways?! Granted, the said poo may not have beloned to the said dog.. said..sed..zed… but these two events, which happened directly on the same walk, really annoys me. Don’t people think?!
While we’re talking about poo, here’s an amusing link from last week when Bush made a surprise appearance at the UN to talk about a terrorism issues. Apparently he doesn’t really know how their protocol works:
