Dog droppings

Alison (elle) from Broomfield - Hei Hei

I have recently got a dog and walk it twice daily. I have noticed how many dog droppings are left on pavements, in parks and on walkways and berms. DOG OWNERS ARE NOT PICKING UP THEIR DOG'S POOP. Most of the droppings I see are from larger dogs, indeed some are huge piles and right on … View moreI have recently got a dog and walk it twice daily. I have noticed how many dog droppings are left on pavements, in parks and on walkways and berms. DOG OWNERS ARE NOT PICKING UP THEIR DOG'S POOP. Most of the droppings I see are from larger dogs, indeed some are huge piles and right on pavements where children walk to school, or in parks and reserves where children play. If you don't pick up your dog's poop you should be ashamed of yourself. Not only is it unsightly and smelly but is unhygienic and a health risk. It's also an offence, but that's beside the point. It's pure laziness to not pick it up. I implore dog owners to please ALWAYS PICK UP YOUR DOG'S POOP. If you don't, dogs may be excluded from more and more places because of it and that would be a shame for the responsible dog owners.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has any furniture that you may want to pass on in any condition broken or not broken (drawers, headboards, cabinets, display stands etc). I lost my job recently and am struggling to find a new one so was hoping to do something to make some extra money for my 4yo and I. I'm going crazy doing nothing, I've never not worked or had a business so it would seriously help my mind too! Thanks in advance. 😊
