One Small Misstep For Man, One Giant Heap For Canine

Big dooings near the laundry on Oak Street, downtown Plattsburgh City.  Two separate piles, double the squish.  Does the laundry clean dogshit contaminated shoes?

Take Pride, Plattsburgh City!

Dogshit & Deterioration

PLATTSBURGH CITY, NY -- 10/29/18

This bag was photographed on October 7th.  It's an example of a dog owner who picks up their pet's shit but leaves it behind for someone else to handle proper disposal.  Now the bag is falling apart and the shit will end up on the sidewalk.  Take Pride, Plattsburgh City!

Half-Ass

Make sure to bag your pooch's poop -- and then leave it hanging around for someone else to get stuck with its disposal.  Of course such decorations add to the supernal beauty of downtown Plattsburgh City, NY.

Equine Not Canine

PLATTSBURGH CITY, NY -- 08/28/18

I've heard a couple of horses rendered the mess on the Margaret Street sidewalk.  (HT: Matt Hall.)  Apparently the riders were letting people feed their mounts carrots.  But why were the horses on the sidewalk?  And as you can see from the above image the mess could have been prevented with horse diapers.

This morning the fecal decorations were being cleaned up.  I feel sorry for the city worker stuck with the removal of the oversized scat. 

With all the laws and regulations enforced by Plattsburgh City it's time to add sections about horses on sidewalks (bicycles aren't allowed but they don't leave shit behind) and a requirement for horses to wear the proper catch-all equipment.

Day 3: Dog Or Horse?

Going to work on Monday morning is bad enough but seeing this...  Please note this scat stretch is near a restaurant.  Great for your taste buds.

Horse on the loose or a mutant Great Dane?

Images shot around 6 PM.  Time for an evening stroll downtown?

Dog Or Horse On Main Street?

Flies Really Enjoy Dogtown

PLATTSBURGH CITY, NY - 6/18/18


The dining is just fine for the flies hanging around Trinity Park.  Take Pride, Plattsburgh City!

If this image disgusts you, don't blame me, blame the dog-owner that left this pile behind.  Complain to City Hall, not me.

It's Dirty Diaper Season

I don't know why two rocks were placed next to the diaper. Artistic installation?

Litterer Should Be Chewed Out

It's All In The Bag

As you can see from the accompanying photo and video submitted by Dom Monette someone left their bagged dogshit behind under the Smith-Weed Bridge.  Taking this half-measure suggests the dog owner thinks he's off the hook.  So who is going to pick up the bags and properly dispose of them?  Probably a public works employee who didn't sign up for doody duty.
