Pick up, clean up... or stay home

The weather is getting colder.

The days are getting shorter

The ground is wet, and the grass is longer.

All excuses for not cleaning up after your dog. And all are lame.

The grassy knolls of the park are dotted with fecal landmines with the piles of poop that aren’t being picked up and deposited in the waste cans. Even worse, the sandy and rocky areas are camouflaged with doody-coated surprises. Just what the surface of your waffle-soled shoes or boots that you're wearing need.

Good people of the park: Pick up after your dogs. We users are all stewards of the park, and bear responsibility for its upkeep. Inattention and indifference are poor excuses for failing to pick up after your pooches. Put your iPhone and coffee cup down, take a break from your conversations... and put fecal litter in its place.

If this were FaceBook, we could start a group called "Pick up after your f*****g dog" -- and post pictures of repeat offenders. Dogs and humans.

Hopefully, it won't come to that.
