But I am saddened when some residents see the parks, plazas and streets as their dog's toilets. Early in the morning when just a few people are up in the streets, they walk their dog to make them poo there. That's why when I jog, I see a lot of dog poo varieties on the streets in various shades, sizes and colors. My friend, Rolly, a pet expert, said you'd see the quality of dog food given dogs through the quality and color of their poo.
Interesting. On second thought, not really.
For one thing, you can appreciate the high quality of dog breeds in the neighborhood. A lot of them are classy and expensive. But the owners are so irresponsible---they literally scatter the streets and plazas with dog poo.
That's why sometimes, I call our place Barangay Bahay Tae (oops, sorry for the term).
Sometimes, when I jog, I have to swerve here and there to avoid stepping on the landmines. It's like a special forces training exercise of some sort.
I love dogs and cats (I always had them when I was a kid and teenager) but I don't have them today because I couldn't manage keeping them anymore. You have to be a responsible pet owner and always clean up their mess.
A lot of times, my neighbors' dogs and cats poo and pee in front of our house so we have to clean it all up---while their owners just relax and escape their responsibilities. Lucky for them we're good and patient neighbors.
I think this has got to stop.
I appreciate an American couple who brisk walks in the morning with their dogs. Each time their dogs poo, they pick up the stool using plastic gloves and plastic bags. Then they put it in a small bag they bring along.
It's a shame that foreigners care about our streets and we don't.
Change is coming, they say. And I hope dog owners in Project 8, QC who are fond of walking their dogs and making them poo in the streets would change their bad habits as well.
