Was walking my dog earlier, picked up her poo at the start, threw it to the side and carried on our walk.
2 mins later, this moody woman comes up to me and has a go about leaving poo bags around!
I explained to her that I was coming back that way later and was going to take it with me then, but she didn't believe me, gave me a dirty look and walked off.
It annoyed me! It wasn't like I threw it up a tree!!

Does anyone else do this??

Or am I s'posed to walk around carrying poo bags for an hour +?

Stupid woman!

Frankly I am not surprised at her reaction as people do leave them around.  I always carry mine with me, never thought of going back for them, but I rarely walk the smae way back as I start a walk.

If I know I'm going the same way back I have been known to do this but more often than not I carry it, or put it in my pocket, or even tie it to one of my belt loops on my jeans!!!
I do see alot of abandoned, full bags around, but its better to bag it than not to bother at all, just as long as it does end up in a bin, eventually :D

My girls often *do* their thing within a few minutes of getting out of the car, so I bag it and leave it by the car, other wise I take the bag with me, or maybe leave it purposefully by a post or similar.  Perhaps it was the 'throwing' it that made this lady think your intentions were less honourable?  I know what you mean about hedges!  It's one of my pet hates :(

Have to admit at our local water park we do.  We put the bags behind a bush as there aren't many bins and having an unusual breed you have a number of people who want to stop and talk.  It's no fun especially when it 's a warm day talking to someone with a wonderful smelly bag between you!  Always pick it up and throw it in the bins near the carpark on the way back though.

I'm afraid lots of people abandon bags of poo - I've even seen them being thrown from cars onto the verge before now! So yes, I carry them (with four dogs I take a carrier bag to put the smaller bags in!) till I find a bin - that could mean carrying them for a couple of miles, but hey-ho, them's the rules!
:)

Ditto JG - I personally think that when people pick up only to chuck the bag later are doing more harm than ones who dont pick up - after all the poo will break down, the bag wont.

There are bio - degradable poo bags..........

isn't that the same then as just leaving it on the grass?!

If you leave the bag there of course it is................

The fact that these bags exist does not necessarily equate to the users not disposing of them correctly................

I was merely observing that bags are available that DO bio degrade and you can get them free from many councils.

I carry the poo bags too.  The park and canal do have a good number of poo bins (usually full) but I will admit to putting the bags in other peoples wheely bins - which everyone leaves in the ginnels between the houses.

We get net twitchers round here that like to watch that your picking up and can get from their window out the front door before the dogs finished to yell at you - even if you flourish your poo bag at them in an obvious and dramatic way then pick up they get huffy.

Charming, I am sure that those people who do not own dogs are only too thrilled that others are depositing their waste in this manner; suppose the bag split, what about the owner who has to wash out their wheelie bin?

Still I am sure you would have no problems about others depositing their garbage in your bin, especially if, when you went to dispose of your trash, you found it full..................

If they ever stopped stealing my bin so i had one to put stuff in i would, but bearing in mind that by the time i got home on tuesday (bin day) yet again my bin was already in someone elses back garden (and yes i can see it from the upstairs window so i know it's there even if when i go round to ask them to release it they deny having it) what am i meant to do!  And no, when and if my bin gets left out in the ginnel i have no choice about other people dumping whatsoever they please in it - which they frequently do.

I use the council's heavy duty poo bags - and so far i have never had one split.

I had a man thank me loads because I picked up my dogs poo, he said if I ever need a bin to put it in use his, he doesnt even have a dog :) He was so pleased that I cleaned up. I always clean up after Loki and usually put it in the bottom of the buggy (in another bag) until I find a  poo bin.
All our wheelie bins are numbered so everyone knows their own.

I was informed by my Dog Warden when observing that there were to few dog bins (Bristol City area, as South Glos have loads of poo bins) that it was perfectly acceptable to put ones bagged poo in a wheelie bin that was accesible without trespassing, as the bins are council property.  So I do put my offerings (can't be worse than nappioes with human excrement) in peoples bins, and having been questioned once or twice actually found them releived that I was picking up and not leaving it for them to tread in, can't really have it both ways.

Therefore, as the bins belong to the council no one can complain that "theirs" has been filled by someone else, or is in someone else's property.  So all who complained about theirs being filled by their neighbour or being "taken" do not have a leg to stand on then.

I live in dundee (Scotland) and there are loads of poo bins.  the park I take my dog to has a poo bin beside every rubbish bin so people do not deposit rubbish in poo bin and vice versa.  Unfortunately there is still a lot of poo around on the streets but there are poo wardens in the parks (sometimes) who hand out fines and 'helpful' advice like keep your dog on a lead until he poos!

when ever i take my boys out and they do their stuff i always pick it up even if it means me carrying it around for hours i use a pooper scopper and when i ve tied that i put that bag inside a fragranced nappy sack that way its not smelly once home put it inside me bin

I'm like JG, I carry a carrier bag to put the smaller bags in until I reach a bin-would never think of leaving it until I was on my way back!

last week driving home from puppy training with my friend and her puppy, there was an awful smell of poo in the car. Convinced one of us had trodden in it we checked our shoes, no not us so we thought it must have been one of the pups. Anyway I dropped her off and the smell disappeared. When I went back to pick her up with our second dogs for training, she was laughing her head off. Her pup had pooped at the first training class and she put it in her pocket and forgot about it!! :D
Even though we used scented nappy sacks, it had still stunk the car out!
Yes we always pick up our dogs poo, and yes it goes in our pockets. (keeps ya hands warm in winter ha ha) :D  :D
