The Dog Poop Fairy

October 27, 2008

Ok, here’s something I just don’t get. Why do people bother putting their dog’s poop into a plastic bag if they’re just going to leave it sitting on the ground or hanging from somebody’s fencepost? Who do they think is going to take that little baggie of treats away? We went hiking on Mt. Seymour a few weeks ago and I saw at least half a dozen little baggies along the trail.
Can you imagine a dog poop fairy who comes along the mountain paths at night to collect all the nicely wrapped baggies hanging on branches and sitting on rocks? She would sure be a great convenience to all those urban folk who want to take their dogs walking in the mountains but can’t be bothered to carry the poop to the nearest garbage, or at the very least leave it beneath a bush or rock so it will biodegrade.

  1. Hi, nothing to do with dog poop, quite the opposite I suppose, but I came across this web site and charity that thought of you. Think Tom liked Frank Zappa but its a knitting/crochet website set up by Diva Zappa, Frank Zappa’s daughter…
