LETTER: Pick up after your pooch

Dear Editor: I walk the North Shore trails daily with my lab, Sadie. I always take extra bags and pick up the “missed” doggy poo that dog owners conveniently don’t see. I wondered why there was so much lately; today six bags were not enough.

Dear Editor:

I walk the North Shore trails daily with my lab, Sadie. I always take extra bags and pick up the “missed” doggy poo that dog owners conveniently don’t see. I wondered why there was so much lately; today six bags were not enough.

Then I realized I have only been walking every other day because of arthritis problems. Yes, there are big, big problems in the world but caring starts at home. How can we be trusted to care for people if we can’t do the simple job of picking up after a dog while walking in a beautiful, free wilderness?

Put more thought into everything we have that is wonderful and don’t abuse it ... because you never know.
