Picking up poop
Unfortunately at the apartment complex that I live at, there is a tendency for people who own dogs to let their dogs do their business outside and NOT clean up after them. It’s really quite disgusting and irresponsible if you ask me. Lately, I’ve noticed it even more because there has been a thick layer of snow on the ground. See, when it snows, those little (or big) piles of poop stand out like, well, big piles of poop. I’ve always been big on picking up after Lola, mainly because I would hate to contribute to the poop problem.
I’ve also noticed that there is a family that lives in the townhomes across the street that brings their dog over to our apartment building and lets it poop. And, they don’t pick up after it (it is also a large dog that poops A LOT). I think next time I see them over here, I’m going to say something.
If you haven’t guessed, I’m pretty perturbed by the poop situation at our apartment complex. See, today I stepped in a pile of poop without knowing it until I entered my apartment. Not a good surprise.
People can be very irresponsible, and that just adds to the problem of apt complexes not wanting pet owners around. Seriously, is it difficult to pick up a pile of poop? I get perturbed too.
