Forest walk
I picked up 3 bags worth of fresh and old dog poo in the Cousins Avenue forest this morning and bought home to my rubbish bin. I picked up my own dog's poo as well, of course. I had my dogs with me and they were not happy with me stopping all the time, however, it is getting disgusting in there. May I prevail on a few more dog owners to do this and maybe we can restore our beautiful walking tracks and edges to their former glory. Did the same at Ferry Reserve on Monday. I thought this was better than confronting anyone too ignorant to pick up their dog poo, as I feel it is building up to some sort of a stand off, and us responsible dog owners will be penalised and lose our lovely dog walking assets.
