Though I love dogs and have had many, I currently do not own one. This is a letter to those who do own dogs. When I walk down our beautiful new sidewalks on Pioneer Way I find it really frustrating that I have to dodge your dog’s waste that you have left in the middle of the walk. This shows your complete disrespect for others and is a reflection of your true character. If you cannot clean up after your beloved pet leave it home.

As an afterthought, if you are going shopping leave your pet home then also. Other shoppers do not enjoy tripping over your leash or having your dog’s nose pushed into our butt. Thank you!
