I don’t think he was lecturing you. I believe you do all of that. But to take your effort and extrapolate that it’s all made up or of no concern at any time ever is a big stretch. Everyone looks in other peoples pockets,that includes conservatives and republicans too. It’s all risk transference and unfortunately natural, it’s not one sided,so for every “liberal“ who’s loudly demanding they receive a disproportionate benefit to their effort there’s a “conservative” doing the same in some other way.
BTW, I won’t pick up others dog crap. I’ll pick up trash but that’s different.
I pick up dog chit almost every morning. I'm not kidding about getting on my fingers. Lazy mother effing dog owners who won't pick up after their own dogs. I go out every morning now with 3 bags. One for my dog and 2 other bags for all the other garbage. If you this pisses me off.. you would be correct. The most fun is picking up those McDonalds bags and drink cups people launch out of their cars into the middle of the road. Save the planet for who? A bunch of effing ungrateful effing pigs.
.. no doubt about it. You are certainly the most virtuous dog chit picker up.
I haven't picked up any dog chit since mid November, Roman died. As for litter, whenever I see some in the neighborhood. Neighbors are pretty good, so not much litter. Wind might blow a can over once in a while, when that happens whoever notices it first usually gets it. Now trees are a different story. 8 more have blown over in the last two weeks. What a pain in the ass. Got the chain saw out last week and started cutting them up. Rain this week has slowed the progress. The biggest one was on the property line between my lot and the neighbor, fell onto my lot. About 75 foot tall and 10-12 ft. diameter at the base. Biggest damn tree I have ever cut up. Took us three days working together to clean it up. Good guy, just moved into the neighborhood with his wife and kids a few months ago. Young guy, age of my sons, IT entrepreneur. I thought it was really nice of him to help with the tree.
Sorry to hear about Roman. I'm sure like myself you loved your dog. You must be fortunate to live in a neighborhood of responsible people. I just get very frustrated because I go through the same damn routine every morning. I clean up after my dog and everybody else's dog and pick up people's trash every day. I don't mind doing it but lazy and inconsiderate people drive me crazy. I live a stone's throw from our local fast food and liquor store. It never ceases to amaze me how many little liquor bottles and fast food containers get thrown out of people's cars. I always have to watch my dog because those chicken wing bones tossed out can kill her if she grabs one, and she will try and grab them if she can.
I do understand your frustration. Chicken wing bones are the worst. Yes, I am most fortunate.
Roman was 15YO. 18 months earlier had been diagnosed with cancer (inoperable), it was painful and he lived the last 18 months on pain killers. He was really pretty functional for the entire period, alert, reasonably active, but slept more than he had. We kept him alive as long as he was enjoying life, longer than I would have thought when diagnosed. The week after Thanksgiving it became clear it was time so my wife contacted a vet who would come to the house and put him to sleep. All the kids came home, a couple of the neighbors, everyone knew him. It was a really warm day for the time of year, he laid out in the yard with everyone around, said good bye (barked at a squirrel or two) and the vet put him to sleep after he fell asleep naturally. Brings a tear to my eye. Thanks for the condolences. This is the important stuff in life -- dog poo
Don't let the "animals" get you down.
