Un-neighborly things left behind<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I am a Downtown resident and enjoy my many daily walks in our beautiful city. Today I came upon a young man with his golden retriever (we had a golden retriever for 16 years). He stepped out of his residence on J and Fourth streets and his dog urinated on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

I understand that living Downtown it might be difficult for dogs to \u201chold it\u201d until they get to an appropriate potty spot. I suggested that when this happens the owner might want to have a small bottle of water handy to clean up after his dog.<\/p>\n

He was very sure that he does not need to do anything like that, even if it is in a walking path. He said he carries poop bags and that now that I have the appropriate information from him, that I should have a good day.<\/p>\n

I don’t believe there are any laws in place for this but I have seen this before and hope that everyone with a dog would consider helping to keep our sidewalks free of dog urine or at least clean up after your dog, whether it is urine or dog poop.<\/p>\n

I felt it was a bit inappropriate for him to turn his back on the puddle he left behind for people to walk thru.<\/p>\n

Not angry, just felt it was inconsiderate. What are your thoughts?<\/p>\n

Great to hear not only the success of the several homeless projects at work that have helped Wilson and her son, but that the hep A epidemic being reduced.<\/p>\n
