Huckleberries Online

While I was out walking today …

I saw Walkabout picking up dog poop just north of the new dog park at McEuen Park. I checked whether there were doggy-poop-pickup bags at the dog park. There were. Walkabout told me that the dog poop along the paths at McEuen Park has increased. But the poop on the 4th Street entrance to Tubbs Hill has decreased. Seems some pet owners -- the slob ones -- allow Fido to poop in the grassy area rather than on the hill as the walk the new, improved convenient paths to get there. Commendably, Walkabout picked up after these slobs. A short distance later, she used a plastic bag to pick up a squashed pile of do that had been run over by vehicle of some sort. Walkabout is worth 100 of the slob owners who don't pick up after their mutts.
