Bag It & Forget It

PLATTSBURGH CITY, NY - 12/19/22

Once again dog poop bagged but not thrown into trashcan. Maybe the fancy bag design is intended to make it easier for the person stuck with proper disposal. The pink valentine motif is so enchanting it makes you forget the contents. Pretty dogshit bags have been left all over downtown. Take pride, Plattsburgh City!

Black Bag Jobs

Bagging your dog's shit in a black plastic bag still leaves the problem for someone else.  Too lazy to toss the bag into a trashcan?  Is there more than one black bagger?  These bags can be found all over downtown.

 Some human pigs like to leave their bags in one location.  In the past I've seen one spot where four bags were left behind.

 

What, no black bag? Isn't this nice, a pink bag covered with hearts probably from a candy store.  I like the way it has been knotted to form a valentine.  Maybe some unsuspecting child will assume fudge is inside.

 

BOP Flop

PLATTSBURGH CITY, NY -- 9/13/22

Plattsburgh City tried to put on its best face during the weekend.

It held its annual Battle of Plattsburgh (BOP) event that commemorates the decisive naval engagement waged in 1814 on Lake Champlain.  Americans won against the British, helping to bring the War of 1812 to an end.

Visitors were welcome to enjoy all of the activities including recreations of battles by reenactors to a grand parade.  And vendors provided all sorts of eats and drinks.

On Friday evening I was walking along when I spotted two doggie decorations on the sidewalk.  I tried to warn a couple approaching the spot but I was too late, the man took a step -- squish.

He wiped the mess from his shoe on the grass.  I told him such incidents were typical for the town.

The next day while I was walking along the same stretch of sidewalk I spotted a fresh decoration.   The green flies appreciated the feast.

Take Price, Plattsburgh City!

 

What's In The Bag?

 

 PLATTSBURGH CITY, NY -- 8/5/22

The bag is stuffed and the flies are on the scene.  It was left near the entrance of the main post office on Miller Street, plopped atop the wall ashtray.  Good guess: dogshit left by a pet owner who didn't bother to properly dispose the waste.  A half-ass job.

 

Flowerbed Survey

 Which do you prefer: beercans or tulips?

Flowerbed Trashcan: Banana Peel

  

One of the elevated stone flowerbeds at the entrance of the parking lot behind Koffee Kat. I prefer flowers. Last year the flowerbeds were never seeded, just barren soil. Another year without any plants? Good spots for litter like beer and soda cans.

 

Spring Pignic

Plattsburgh: Sign of Spring

 

Improper Disposal

You bagged the dogshit but didn't throw it in the trash?  Do you think it's so much better in the crotch of a tree?  Oink, oink to you.  Understand that?

No Respect For Veterans

 Veterans Memorial, Trinity Park, Plattsburgh, NY

Dogshit in the park never stops but it's really insulting when it's strewn along three sides of a memorial for veterans.  Security cameras with warning signs announcing people are being monitored could cut down on the problem.  But it has to be backed up by enforcement, handing out fines.

Day 2 and counting.
