I hate dog poo as much as anyone, but what about cats ! There is nothing worse than working in the garden and getting your hands covered in cat mess. I can get an injunction against a dog owner to stop his or her dog from fouling my garden but there is nothing I can do to stop cat owners letting their cats out so they can c**p in my garden and not their own. And don't you cat owners tell me to put down orange peel or that I can buy special pellets to deter your little darlings. WHY SHOULD I ? It should be YOUR responsibility to keep them at home and away from my property.

Maz - I'm a dog owner, but I've always got a pocket full of 'poo' bags (empty of course) at the ready! Even when he does it in the long grass, I pick it up, I only draw the line if it's in the stinging nettles! He's very good, and will not go on the pavement or road. I totally agree with you - dog owners should clear up after their pets!

Glad to see you are all good little doggy owners! What really got me is that we are getting a new carpet in the living room very soon and it is PALE!!! If it had already been down then I would've gone ballistic! Just like with the blimmin fireworks, there is a possible fine but I wonder how often anyone is actually caught and even more, how many are prosecuted. None I bet. Maz. XX

Morning Maz... I totally agree with you, and as a dog owner feel just as sickened by these irresponsible owners as you do. In fact they give other dog owners a bad name. I can't count the number of times I have offered bags to such people or pointed out to them the error of their ways. But I just get ignored or abused - not that that will stop me telling them off!

Maz, I feel for you, and with the darker evenings, you can't see it - or the stuff that has been smeared by other unfortunates!! I always clear up behing my daughters alsatian cross when I walk her, and I have to truthfully say my cat only does it in my garden - as is evident by the dead flowers if I don't dig a bit of earth for her, and the number of times, when digging a hole for a new plant, I come back and find it already filled!!! My daughter and I get really riled by those who don't act responsibly! - and cats can be trained to use their own gardens, otherwise how could they be trained to use a dirt tray???!!! maggie

our neighbour (4 cats) says "our cats only ever do it in the house" ... really ? how do they know, do they follow them around all day then ? am I imagining the cat poo that used to fill our garden, before we got the dog that is...

Yes, but people don't follow their cats around, or take them for walks! LOL Pat

Need to buy some more Febreeze now ....

or better still, why not take your kids round to do their doo doos on the dog owners paths. bet they wouldnt like that.

Aw I heard something terrible on the radio today, that people scoop the poop, pop it in a bag and then dispose of it in the Post Box - I ask you, how could someone do that - DISGUSTING I have a dog and it's my responsibility to deal with her 'bottom products' in a decent manner A xxx

Maz i know exactly what you mean and it seriously p****s me off. No dog and 3 kids and ive been known to throw shoes away rather than clean them

Not guilty, mine always does it on the bridleway or if she does it on the path I have a bag to pick it up with. Besides, I'm not in the east end, so can't be mine lol

I so hope that all you dog owners are not like the ones round here. My hubby has just come in and tracked sh*t all round the house cos some selfish git has not picked up after their dog RIGHT OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. If I knew who it was then I would knock on their door and it would be smeared all round THEIR home for the benefit of THEIR kids. SELFISH IGNORANT PIG GRRRRRRRRR Sorry, needed a rant!!! Maz. XX
