It's the law here, too, Don. But still....I see these poor shmucks out in
all kinds of weather, bent into the wind, rain and snow, trying to pick
up dog **** with a napkin, and I wonder what holes in their lives are
filled by these hideous pets. Imagine what a country this would be if our
govmint took a tenth of the cash we're wasting in Iraq, and provided
mental health services for dog owners.

In the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", do you recall the scene
with the peasants kneeling in a field, pointlessly slogging gobs of mud
from one place to another? :-) Future dog owners.

If those owners clued in, they would buy a good 'pooper scooper'.
I bought a cheaper version, but it lasted out two dogs. No way I was
taking a chance soiling my hands with doggie doo.
note: I could use the grocery store plastic bags with mine...rather than
the expensive original equipment variety.

Regardless of the tools, I think it's weird. Most normal people are happy
when they can finally stop changing a kid's diapers. Then, they go out and
get a dog.
