So there is a reason that in Phoenix you are suppose to get fined if you don't pick up after your pets. I'm sure you are wondering why. I mean really doesn't dog poo just magically disapear. No it doesn't.

First of all let me just say that I like to walk to go get my mail. The mailboxes are by the office of my apt. complex and I leave at the other end of the complex, so it's a nice little stroll. Anyway, I like to take the most direct path to the office that I can, so I tend to walk on the rocks between two of the buildings. It is in this area that I notice that the only thing that occurs there is dogs pooing.

I like to refer to this area poo alley. I'm am not kidding about this. It is a wonder to me how in this one place all the dog poo has collected. For some reason, I think people are forcing their dogs to go there and they just leave it like it is a rock or something. Well, I for a while I was just paying attending carefully to where I was walking as to not step in any of the poo. But now there is so much, it is like jumping from stone to stone or like trying not to step on cracks. It is incredibly difficult to walk around all the poo.

Now I've taking up going around the rockway through the hallway of the building. It really isn't much of a detour, but I am stumped by the poo alley. I just don't understand. In a place where you could be fined $500 for not picking up after you dog, why is there this problem. If it was someone's personal yard you would understand. That is there land they can do what they want. This is public land for the most part. There are numberous people living here. What the hell? If you get a pet you have a reasonibliity to take care of it and what it does.
