I just took a brief walk with the pup and we both stepped in dog crap....so annoying! The gated community we live in provides pet waste bags and trash cans are everywhere but people just don't pick up after their dogs!
Do you always pick up after your dog? I do, even if the dog drops an extra load and I have to get another bag!

I do. I hate stepping in dog poo and I think it would be bad karma not to. My mom ALWAYS forgets a bag when she walks my dog though.

If we're on a walk or at a park, yes, without fail. We usually take an extra bag per dog, just in case. However, they usually poop in our fenced-in backyard and sometimes we're bad about getting that right away. We will definitely have to work on that when we have kids!

Yes, I find it so upsetting when I see doggie doo that hasn't been picked up. Some owners are so irresponsible and inconsiderate! Having a bag dispenser attached to the leash has been a lifesaver because I used to forget bags all the time and would have to get creative and use leaves, old receipts, etc.

I always do, even in our back yard where it is our property. I have a friend who NEVER does, including when she brings her dog over. I told her that she has to pick it up if her dog goes in our yard! She thinks its gross, I think it's all part of being a pet owner.

I don't have any dogs right now but I really appreciate it when people do pick it up! I get really irritated because we DON'T have a dog and we still end up with dog crap in our yard! Grrr! A few months ago I was home on my lunch break and saw this guy walking his two dogs past my house going slow. I looked like a total creeper and was staring out the window to see what he was going to do! The dogs were just walking along and the guy actually pulled back on their leashes when they passed up all my grass, I was like WTF! NO WAY! Since it was before Christmas we has bells on our door, so I opened it up, slammed the door, and just stood in my window! He sure walked away quick after that! It was awesome and I didn't seem him near my yard again! Oh! He didn't have a bag btw

Always. we are pretty good at making sure we have the bags EVERYWHERE so we have one when we need one. I have even gone to the point of picking up one of my dogs poo with a leaf and bringing it back to where I have a bag, and then Anti-bacerial gel too! LOL Nasty I know, but I wont leave it out because I get sooo irritated when I see someone not do it so I am not going to let myself have any excuse not to myself.

99.9% of the time I do. There have been times I've forgotten the baggies OR I run out (my dog sometimes goes 3X's during one walk and I only have like 2 baggies left)..so yeah, I get really annoyed when ppl don't pick up after their pets (especially if its in the middle of the sidewalk!)...but I do understand that it will happen sometimes.

99% of the time we do. We have one of those doggie bag dispensers on their leash. I walked dogs for a while when I was pregnant with RJ, and picking up my dogs' poop (the size of my finger) is nothing compared to the big dogs' poop (the size of two fists, and always steaming). The only times I don't pick it up is if it's in deep brush or the middle of the woods and they kick after they poop and I can't find the poop!
We have a little area in our non-yard where they poop and pee, and we don't pick that up. No one walks there so we'll do a big pick-up after a while, but it's loose ground and gravel so it's a great place for them to go every day.

NOPE! We thankfully have a fenced in yard... and it's DH's chore! :):):) When we go to the dog park though, I usually do it.

Always well unless I don't have a bag (which is hardly ever) or my dog has diarrhea or it's late at night and I lose track of where she went. (I now have a flashlight attached to the leash for this reason.) I live in an apartment complex so I have to pick it up.
