Doo York City

I hate having to walk to work in the freezing cold. I started walking to work when I moved back into the City. It's probably the only exercise I get all day. That and the 2 times a day on average I go to the bathroom. When it is really cold, I brave it and turn up at work feeling like I've been working in a Siberian Slave camp.
Still, it's not the cold that bothers me the most during these walks. That distinction goes to the frozen dog shit that people forget/to lazy to pick up after their cherished pooches. Poo from a little Pomeranian doesn't really leave to big a mess and therefore, although not totally acceptable, is not too bad. No, it's the poo from the Shepard/Bernard variety I have issues with. Most of the time I avoid the hot zone of these scatological mine fields. However, there is an occasional "slip-up" and I wind up having to clean off my shoe later, assuming I even realize I've been victimized before I walk into my apartment.
We should teach these dogs to use a bathroom like we do. It would really be better for all involved if they could learn this courteous technique . Plus, like myself, it would give them two places to get their daily exercise.
