I live in Austin, TX and here it's a ticketable offense to leave your dog's excrement in a public place. Most parks here are outfitted with posts that dispense something called a "mutt mitt". If you've never had the pleasure of seeing one, let me describe it: It's about the shape of those long plastic sleeves they use for newspapers on a rainy day, but at the bottom, it has much sturdier plastic on the outside. You put your hand inside, pick up the waste, and with your other hand pull the sleeve up over the waste, then knot it and throw it out. These mutt mitts are biodegradable and free to the public (for right now), and I was just wondering... How many of you use these or other methods to pick up your dog's mess? How many just look around to see who saw and leave it there? If you had access to a mutt mitt, would you use one?
I always pick up after my dog -- I think It's rude and gross not to, especially at a park or in someone's front yard! But there have been occaisions when I am without a mutt mitt and I have to leave it there.
