Dog Poo With A Sense Of Humor

Spot on!  The message on a sign made me laugh.

"Free yoga! Bend over and pick up your pet waste. Call it downward dog."

PooPrints - The DNA Solution for Dog Waste

PooPrints - The DNA Solution for Dog Waste

What is PooPrints?

PooPrints is the first and largest commercial DNA Waste Management Program.

What does that mean?

We create a genetic database of dogs with DNA collected from cheek swabs. We then collect DNA from any unscooped pet waste and compare it to the database to identify who hasn’t picked up after their pet.

We are animal advocates. As an organization, we function off of three pillars:

1. Promote responsible ownership
2. Protect the environment
3. Expand pet access

We understand the wonderful value that pets bring to ones life and a community, so our program allows more dogs to live more places.

Now there's a company that sells Dog Poop signs!

'Snapcrap' App Developer Hopes to Help Clean Up San Francisco Streets - NBCbayarea.com

"The new app released on Tuesday to iOS users is trying to help clean up the dirty streets of San Francisco, according to its developer Sean Miller, a San Francisco engineer who moved from Vermont to South of Market in 2017 and immediately took notice to the feces, needles and trash cluttering walkways." ...

""I see poop" is one of the random automated comments that Miller designed to fill out the required comment section on the city's form. He said he wanted to make reporting public health issues fun for the community."

Alas, No More Rants

You've probably wondered why this blog has gone silent.

In a nutshell, I've finally gotten all of the ranting out of my system.

To seal the deal, I've moved to Florida, and my new neighborhood has hyper-responsible dog owners. How refreshing!

Au revoir!

SF dog-walker regulations get initial OK

SF dog-walker regulations get initial OK | City Insider | an SFGate.com blog:

"Six? Seven? Eight? Infinity? Just what should the limit be on how many dogs a professional dog walker can walk at any one time in a city park? The answer — drum role, please — is eight. That’s the number of the Board of Supervisors settled on today after much debate."

Uncharacteristically grateful for dog owners

The neighborhood has had a recent rash of crime, including, but not limited to burglaries, thefts, and gun point robberies.

So, needless to say, during these long darkness days, I'm grateful to see and be in the company of dog owners walking their dogs.

I feel a wee bit safer (no pun intended).

Happy holidays!

Almost Artistic Dog Doo Smear

A very quiet and relatively clean neighborhood this Summer.  


Here's a "double duty" photo of dog filth on the sidewalks...

Sad - No Respect For Folks With Dog Doo Plight

I've been meaning to write about this for some time, and finally got around to it.

Here's the deal.  Several months back, I saw this sign posted in the window, and blogged about it, Wheelchair Dog Poo.

Unfortunately, someone decided to deface the window of this home with spray paint. I didn't have my camera on me at the time, so you won't get to see the real picture of the defacement.  The end result, the sign was taken down.

Very sad indeed.

Ben says, "Pick up your dog's poop!"

Dog doo can get pretty personal.

I have sympathy for Ben, as the worst dog poo offenders leave their cr*p on the grounds where we live.

SFPD Dog Sign Says . . .

If dog owners would only follow these San Francisco Police Department signs.

The text of the sign references, City and County of San Francisco - Animal Care and Control - Health Code - Section 40 - Dog to be Controlled so as Not to Commit Nuisances.

Section 40 states:

(a) It shall be unlawful for any person owning or having control or custody of any dog to permit the animal to defecate upon the public property of this City or upon the private property of another unless the person immediately remove the feces and properly dispose of it; provided, however, that nothing herein contained authorizes such person to enter upon the private property of another without permission.

(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to walk a dog on public property of this City or upon the private property of another without carrying at all times a suitable container or other suitable instrument for the removal and disposal of dog feces.

(c) Visually handicapped persons who use Seeing Eye Guide Dogs are exempt from this law. (Amended by Ord. 420s78, App. 9/8/78)

Unsightly Dog Doo Disposal Habits

There's a new trend in the neighborhood.  Some dog owners are responsibly picking up dog poo, and bagging it in plastic (as you can see in these photos).

However, I can only guess that they're only too lazy to throw it in their trash bins, or they're trying to avoid making their homes smell.

In any event, the ultimate outcome is these dog owners are making our neighborhood rather unsightly.

More - Is It Dog or Human Doo?

Continuing the running thread of what are the clues to discerning if what's on the sidewalk is from a human, or from a dog.

The clues here are:

• there's toilet tissue
• there's overflowing sewer water (see the sewer pipe cover?)
• . . . and of course the unsightly doo

Dog Doo-dles - Maybe I Should Retire This Blog

I launched this rants blog just over a year ago, and now I'm having second thoughts.

To be sure, I've definitely gotten catharsis out of this. In some respects, it was kind of righteous to rant about soiled sidewalks and more.

Alas, the pendulum has swung in the direction of dog owner pickup cleanliness, and I have precious little to show or share on this blog.  It makes me stop to think whether it's time to hang up this blog.

. . . and here's an example of  responsible dog ownership, dog doo-dles left behind from a responsible dog owner cleaning up.
