I am so angry right now. We were walking home from school, and Son Two stepped in some dog pooh in his BRAND NEW RUNNING SHOES! These shoes are 4 days old.

I know most dog owners are wonderful people - but the sucky dog owners are so awful that right now I am so in hate with all dog owners. I can't blame the dogs - they have to pooh! But last I checked the law says that owners have to clean up after them.

My kids generally stick to the sidewalk, but because of some City construction, they had to walk across a lawn. I had the wagon so I walked on the road.

Last fall dog pooh ruined my kids' traditional fall fun. Some dog had poohed right in the middle of the leaf pile that Husband had raked up for them to jump in. We only have one, small tree on our property, so once those leaves were gone, they were gone. Not to mentioned the work gloves which Husband used to clean up the leaves - another $12 in the trash because some imbecile didn't clean up after their pet.

To add insult to injury, while I was outside with a trig trying to clean the 1000 crevasses on the sole of Son Two's BRAND NEW RUNNING SHOES, Daughter peed all over the kitchen floor because she couldn't get to the bathroom without me.

So - ignorant a$$hole of a dog owner who didn't feel responsible for cleaning up after his own pet - I had 2 messes to clean up thanks to you. Karma, jerk. Karma.

Oh, boo. As a (responsible!) dog owner and parent, I have no patience for people who don't clean up after their pets. It is so disrespectful of others.

Of course it happened in brand new shoes! Those rotten apples can sure spoil the whole barrel. But I just spent the past two days with the sweetest dog, and two wonderful pet owners so I am over my hatred.
