The signer is back in City Park putting wooden signs by the dog shit that owners leave behind. For Thanksgiving the message was, “Have a Crappy Thankgsiving!” and for Christmas we have, “Merry White Trash Christmas!” – sometimes the signs are dark like the one that said, “Your Owner is a Loser” or “Thanks For Leaving Your Shit” but mostly they are quite humorous and seasonal in their message.
What is the thing about people who don’t pick up their dog shit? It’s sort of a mystery.
The other day my neighbor’s dog was going to the bathroom on another neighbor’s front lawn and she said, “Thanks for fertilizing my lawn.” Only she meant it. She wasn’t being sarcastic at all. And the neighbor with the dog had her tool to scoop up the pile so it wasn’t like that was in question. But dog shit does not act as a fertilizer I’m afraid to say. So what that whole exchange was really about isn’t clear – was she trying to say, “Hey, I’m okay with your dog shitting on my grass.” Really?
