Gee...I found an oldy but a goody.

You don't need to defend a Lion. You just need to let him out of his cage.

C.S. Lewis

I remember a few years ago this topic came up at a council meeting, and while some were upset that pet owners did not clean up after their puts along the paths, we eventually agreed that this kind of thing did not need the hands of government involved, and to leave it to the good discretion of pet owners.

While it is unfortunate that some folks choose to ignore the reality of biological functions along the paths, I think we did the right thing not to create an ordinance.

One I wish we did create was to have dogs be required to be on a leash when they are on the paths. I'm a dog lover and dog owner, but right now, if the dog is under "voice command" it need not be leashed. Problem is it scares some older folks and young kids when they're not leashed, and they're not always under voice command when they're supposed to be.

Man, I wish this were our biggest problem!
