needless to say, i’m an animal lover particularly of dogs (and horses) so oftentimes you’ll see posts about my lulu, dogs, dog poo or anything else dog or animal related.

i’ve mentioned this before and i’ll mention it again (and again if i have to!)…there’s a dog poo problem in france (which is a polite way of saying french people don’t pick up their *(&^%^& poo!)

some places (except in the south) in france are slowly trying to make progress. notice how i said they were ‘trying.’

i saw this toutounet thing in biot and thought HOW NICE: a dispenser with poop bags and INSTRUCTIONS on how to pick up poo. believe it or not, PEOPLE DO NEED LESSONS! that said, however, this dispenser was empty as are all i’ve seen so far – wait! except the one i saw in semur en auxois! yay cote d’or (burgundy) i heard later that the cities/towns trying out these dispensers found that the bags were disappearing faster than the poop on the sidewalk. further investigations’ findings revealed that people were stealing the bags and using them as freezer bags for food. ICK AND A HALF. these bags are not meant for food!! they’re meant for poo! if you know anyone that is using these bags for food, please tell them they’re most likely lined with insecticide (as are garbage bags) and this is highly NOT recommended. thank you.
