All the garbage cans on Main St say "No Animal Waste Allowed". So you clean up after your dog, and then you have no place to dispose of it. Am I supposed to carry a bag of poop as I go shopping, and then take the bag of poop in the car with me as I drive home? My big complaint is about the nearby town of Clinton, NJ.

Great idea.......I wonder if it would work to bring newspaper & try to get it under my dog before she goes. Another good idea but sometimes she likes to go when I'm not looking......perhaps I have a doggie who's modest.........yeah, right. I would like to say thank you to all of you who pick up after your dog. I have even gone up to people in the park when they are picking up their dog's poopie & thank them. They probably think I'm either a space case or the Poopie Patrol...... 3FURS/Jenny: Hey, thanks…..I never thought of disposable gloves.

A dog owner actually suggested me to spray water on my section of the lawn by the sidewalk so dogs will not go there. It has worked so far. We have a 11 lbs mutt and on the walk, we always bring two bags with two double sheets of newsprint, i.e. newspapers, junk mail and advertises and such. We know when our lit' guy is ready so we promptly place the newsprint right below. That way we just wrap it up; not having to scoop it up. Also, our hands are saved if there are holes in the bags :-) We surprise lots of people with out technique. I wish there were the dog poop Nazis here in my town and that there would be heavy fine on the violators. The money would be shared between the city to buy poopy bags and the local humane shelter. In the meantime, we all own a cell phone, take pictures of the violators and post it to youtube.com or send it to the city hall. Ha!

The big boxes don't cost very much so I have a bag of them everwhere. The gloves are useful too when you visit the very old & sick, and that lets say forgot how to keep themselves clean. I just tell them I have cuts on my hands & I want to protect them. There happy I visit, I'm happy I'm not taking anything home. I’m like 3FURS with gloves & bags.

Then you won't have to walk around with a "tainted" hand. Ask one who has been in this mess (excuse the pun) more than once so now it's lots of bags & wetnaps. I walk in a nice town park......beautiful green grass & sidewalks......find a lot of poop that hasn't been picked up & it infuriates me. People walk on the grass, kids roll around on the grass or play.......it just isn't right. Thankfully, the park provides bags so I always carry a few extras & when I see poopies, I pick them up. I don't want a pat on the back, I just would like to know how you can get dog owners to be considerate of other people. I have run out of bags & had to go all the way home & back again so I know to carry extras. I buy my bags (have the little roll that attaches to my dog's leash) & it REALLY pissed me off to have to use MY bags to pick up other dogs' messes so then I started taking the ones provided by the park & use those to pick them up. I sometimes think about putting up a huge sign telling people to pick up after their dogs or they are going to piss off the wrong person & the next sign they'll see will be "No Dogs Allowed".......

So we did what any good criminal would do. We ran. I'm a much more considerate dog owner now. But I have to say, my dog poops on grass or dirt. Never concrete.
