If I were Doug Wilder, or any responsible city official for one day, I would enforce the Pooper Scooping law and fine as many violators as I could catch (with Clean Sweep vigilantly watching). It’s fine to have dogs in the city but for God’s sake, who wants to see the little bit of grass burnt away by dog urine?

WALKABILITY is highlighted in the master plan for city. Try walking outside a business in the bottom, downtown, or in Carytown and OOPS! Been there! In neighborhoods you’ll step out of your car into a pile. HELP!!!

Do the math. Daily dog walking, 365 days a year, two or three times a day, it’s washing into the gutters, wet on sidewalks after rain, and piling up in the pets’ favorite spots. Disgusting!!!! Pet owners don’t pay the price or seem to care! No Beautification Plan using our tax dollars can keep up with this!

Hey L.,
You seem really angry and stressed out. I recommend getting a puppy!
