Truth is stranger than fiction, Amanzi.

Just coming back from my walk to the park this morning. Wished a "good morning" to a young couple out walking their beautiful setter on this gorgeous Sunday.

In the woman's hand was a nice plastic bag full of Rover's contribution to the day.

Right beside them was a sign that read, "Your homeowner's association requires all dogs to be on a leash (which Rover was) and that any solid pet waste must be properly removed and disposed of. You are liable for up to a $250 fine for failure to adhere to this regulation."

Fear is a great way to encourage the right behavior, but I have yet to see a squad car with flashing lights or anyone else pull over a pet owner for this violation.

My suspicion is that tickets are already preprinted and have no box to check for FAILURE TO REMOVE DOG****.

Among the choices, however, are speeding, improper lane usage, illegal parking, etc.. If they would only do a little thinking on their own, the local pet police could easily check the box marked....ILLEGAL PASSING!

A sidebar to all this is that I have often wondered why I see so many pet owners with both their dogs and plastic bags in tow on my way to the park, and only the dogs and owners on my way back. Where, oh where, did that doggy-do go?
