Doggy Treats

Today were going to talk about doggy treats. And not the kind you give Fido for rolling over. It’s the kind he gives you. Like during an electrical storm.

People go through a lot of trouble to try and train dogs to stop eating their own waste, but After this show, you might want to encourage yours to start cleaning up after itself.

It’s like the little old lady at the bottom of the street, standing there, watching her dog land a number two right in the middle of the sidewalk. Presumably that tissue she pulled out of her purse is to pick up the treat and put it in the trashcan, you know, the one 3 feet behind her. Nope, she wipes his backside and sticks the paper right in the middle of the shoe-goo, like marking a land mine. For future passers-by.

It makes me sick, and it makes you sick too. No, literally.

In San Diego, the number one cause of ocean pollution isn’t faulty sewer lines, lawn fertiliser or motor oil, its dog faeces, all those little treats, rolling out into the open waves. That does not sound good. While the problem isn’t local to California, from sea to shining sea, our pets are making a splash and these little death charges are more likely to produce disease generating bacteria than a Quart of 10W30.

Now you may think you’re safe because you don’t live by the beach. Guess what? Rivers and lakes aren’t safe either. Fact is a whole lot less water in those. You’re lying, there can’t be that much dog poo. 4 out of 10 households have a least one dog and almost 50% of those are over 40lbs. That is an awful lot of, you know, material. Number two may be number 1 but number 1 is no good too. Did you know dog urine can destroy your lawn? Dogs are carnivores and they eat a lot of protein, the protein breaks down to form nitrogen waste, you apply that to your lawn in concentrated form, you over fertilise it and can kill your lawn dead. Creating those attractive brown spots.

Now before you label me as a dog hater, realize that cats are not exempt and I dislike all domestic Animal waste, no preference. It’s all dirty. It’s all nasty. But the real problem isn’t your animals, it’s you! Your neighbours, the owners, the people who leave dog doo doo all over the sidewalk. It’s because of you that pet waste is everywhere. Stop it! Please. We’re all swimming in it!

Produce disease generating bacteria than a quart of 10W40, 30, 20 HIKE! And you may want to reconsider kissing your pet. Do you know how they clean themselves?
