Pet Peeves

A dog took a dump near the bench where I’m sitting. The owner stood by ‘til his dog was done ting, Then lazily did a poor job with his scooping, Thus leaving the smelly remains of the pooping. A breeze came along and the odor came drifting. I tried with my body to block it by shifting, Without any luck, so I’m stuck here with smelling A scent that my senses find rather repelling. Oh, walkers of canines, please note your surroundings And give it your best picking up your pet’s moundings. You should be aware that the remnants you’re leaving Are causing your neighbors a little pet peeving.

Boy, you have some great rhymes here. The only positive thing about such a distasteful subject matter. :/

What a selfish oaf! I might have rubbed a little of it in his face before he left.

It's also one of my pet peeves! Especially when the dog is the size of a Shetland pony and drops a load of cow size, and the dumb owner doesn't even pick it up!!!Happily my pooch is trained to do his thing outdoors, even if it's 3 a.m. I don't mind. / Maurice

Makes you angry at both the pets and the owners, doesn't it? Well-penned, per the 'i.b. standard.' ~ Bar Raised High

Why would a sane person bring an animal into the city? Animals are bright enough to prefer life in the country! Aloha! Rico

I agree, Ilene! Well said. That's the reason I have a dear old cat, Jeff. Strictly an inside cat and he cleans up after himself, I don't have to get up at 3am to let him out to take care of business and best of all he doesn't bark! Bob

Hello Ilene Bauer, yes I agree dog owners should pick up their dogs poop. they would not like it on their lawns. Which dogs do often and no pick up. Enjoy your evening my friend.

oh Ilene it is so unpleasant to be in the vicinity of a defecating dog, even worse when the owners fail to clean up after it, my pet peeve is also dog poop:-( hugs jan xx
