Years ago at our old house we had a problem with an old lady allowing her Lab to repeatedly foul the small green area outside our house. After we figured out the time she walked past everyday, the dog warden was called out to 'catch' her in the act. Sure enough she did, the woman was fined and we never saw her walk past again.

What a stupid woman by the sounds of it

I have never heard of that?! I still don't get the relevance of it though? Whats it matter if the car is going 10mph faster or not?

I don't think so. What a bizarre law though!

Just goes to show huh?I think it is such a pity that someone berated an obviously responsible dog-owner who DID pick up and only left a wee smear! For heavens sake what exactly did the guy expect you to do about that - go back and power-wash it???
He should concentrate his anger on the ones who leave the whole dump behind without a care in the world!!

To my mind, far more noxious is cat crap ... which you invariably cannot see. There you are weeding your border, or your pots, you plunge your fingers into the nice loam to get them round a troublesome root, and suddenly you realise you have just encountered a buried splat of cat poo. There can be little worse than cat poo under your finger nails ... give me good old honest dog poo any day, which you can see, pick up and if necessary avoid.
Having said that, I do hate to tread in the stuff myself, so I can quite understand how upset people get about it ... but a smear on the pavement? Come on, that's just going too far.
