Gail, They do the same here at the all breeds...............and it really galls me! If we pick up after our dogs at the Specialties..................then why can't the all breeds do the same thing? The last one I attended I was out walking Rick with my poop bag and I saw this Lady let her Mastiff take a dump and just walk away from it. I caught up to her and said, "Excuse me, I just happen to have an extra poop bag". She looked at me like I had 2 heads................GEEZE! Mo > In our neck of the woods the Boy Scouts clean the area, or we have poop raffles too with some pretty nifty prizes including the ever popular CA$H...... ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
