Phantom Pooper

You always have the dog owners who refuse to pick up their dog's poop, right? The dog owners at my apartment aren't any exception. We have poop filled courtyards due to Phantom Poopers. Residents talk about these Phantom Poopers as if they are ghosts. It's like there is a clue game going on right before my eyes.

Resident #1: Well these are large deposits so I feel it is from that chocolate lab that man walks over here!

Resident #2: It must be those people from over there at the B section. They tear up everything and don't care where they let their dog poop.

You can imagine the other comments. They speculate that the dogs come over once everyone is asleep and have a party in the courtyards. It's comical the way they discuss this issue. 

When I first brought Stella home, I was questioned by one resident in particular about whether I picked up after my dog. She would see a fresh pile, point to it and then say "Did your dog do that?" She was seriously the poop Nazi. It annoyed me at first until I realized that her dog had a passion for devouring these lovely piles. I would watch the dog owner get so angry as her dog would run over to the closest pile and consume it. I would laugh to myself too. You KNOW his breath was bad! It couldn't happen to a better dog, the affenbitcher. Yes I am probably grossing you out by now, but when you're a dog owner, these are all facts of life. Sometimes you step in it, and sometimes it is all around you. You can chose to point fingers and blame others foryou being knee deep in it, or you can get a shovel and help clean it up. 

PS- I normally add pictures to my entries but today I'll spare you :-)
