Health and safety concern my butt. We americans have become so dang neurotic. It's dog poo. A pretty normal find in the back yard where I grew up. Deal with it.

Personally, I can't imagine trying to find and pick up dog poo blindfolded, and I doubt these folks wh are disturbed at the risk associated with it's mere presence in the street would go feeling around for it blind either.

Hmmm.... well. So there it is.

Ping!

That is the absolute truth.
They are blind for God's sake, cut them a break for trying. BBT, look at this one.

Having had a guide dog for three years, it's not unreasonable for blind folks to pick up after their dog. However, crapping in the street is a new one. We were taught to take the dog into the grass or dirt. When he stops circling feel the back for arching and then wait till he's done. Wearing a plastic bag like a mitten it's easy to pick up the poop. In the street this would leave a kerry-like smear though. My dog was given to me by Southeastern Guide Dogs in Palmetto, FL. They survive on donations and make the dogs available free to blind and visually impaired people. If you'd like more info they're at guidedogs.org. I use a screen reader program called JAWS 4.5 to surf, Email, Word, etc.

I wrote this poem some time ago and I think this is a good place to publish it for the first time:

A Dog's Life

In the Morning
When The dew is on the grass
Out goes Rover
To see what will come to pass

Around the yard he goes
sniffing every bush and tree
Stopping at each and every one
To take a little pee

After three trips around
This hallowed ground
He's still not found the spot
But sluddenly inspiration hits and he
choses the neighbor's lot

And there among the prize roses
Rover squats and poses
Doing what every good dog will do
Which is "Doing Doo Doo in the Dew"
My Yes Dog's do do doo doo in the dew
