And OP, really, I agree that dog owners ought to pick up after their dogs and I understand your revulsion but isn't this one of those less-than-pleasant things that goes with the territory of having kids?
Oh yes, Nature's Miracle works great. +1

Is this a bigger problem in DC? I'm from NJ and there are strict laws about cleaning up after your dog. At least in out neighborhood there I rarely saw dog doo along sidewalks. Aren't there similar laws in this area? Are people just not mindful of them or what?

Or are there doggy wipes?
Actually my dog wipes her ass on the grass when she is done. works for us.

Again, this is NOT GERMANE to the topic at hand! If you want to complain about the 1% of cat owners who would actually let their pets outside in this urban jungle, feel free, but do it ELSEWHERE. This is a thread about DOG SH T. One cat crapping in your vegetable garden does not make a sound in the forest of the debate at hand.

Lots of people feel the same way about kids.
You are a fucking idiot. And you know you're a fucking idiot, and a troll. You're status as a human has officially been revoked. Go live like a dog now.
Step away from the ledge, crazy lady, and while you're at it, work on your reading comprehension.
Starting your retort with the oft-repeated "reading comprehension" snark clearly establishes you as unoriginal. Is that better than idiotic?
Unless you live in a cave, it can't possibly be news to you that there are people out there (and I never said I was one of them) who don't like kids and think kids are disgusting and don't think they should be imposed on by them.
All you said was that some people feel the same way about children as some of us do about dogs. What are we supposed to infer from this? Also, who gives a rat's left testicle what people think about kids? We're talking about DOGS. Bringing up how people feel about kids, or cats, birds, or Libertarians is not germane to the topic at hand.
It hardly makes me an idiot to point that out. I merely highlighted out how silly the first poster is. We share city spaces and people just need to man up and deal with the little things they think are gross and get over their "resentment".
And I'm highlighting how silly you are to expect us to deal with the "little things" like dog sh t. Hardly a little thing for all the inconvenience and stress it causes. Isn't it required by law here to "curb your dog"? If not, then it should be, since the inconsiderate dog owners outnumber the responsible ones.
Like you. I can forgive your poor reading comprehension, but your insults are uncalled for and show how ugly *you* are and says nothing about my status as a human.
Fool. Think before you show your ugly.
Granted, my initial response was inflammatory because I'm sick of idiots on these dog threads constantly bringing up children to justify their negligence as dog owners. So you got some of the shrapnel of that vitriol. But it weakens your argument against uncalled for insults when you respond by calling someone "crazy, ugly, and a fool".
Think before you show your ignorance.

My personal favorite was the woman we encountered recently who watched her dog take a dump on an astroturf field at a DCPS middle school and then walked away. When we called her on it, politely pointing out that kids USE the field every day, she swore at us and continued walking away, chatting on her cell phone.

Ugh, speaking of pieces of sh*t, dog owners in general win as the biggest sh*ts in the world. I am 100% with you, OP.

Fool. Think before you show your ugly.
OP here. Aside from a single (but very impressive) toddler diaper accident on an upholstered chair in a real estate agent's office years ago, my child has never required anyone outside of family, medical, and maybe school personnel to handle her bodily secretions. She doesn't leave a pile of wiry hairs all over everything she brushes past, doesn't make every textile she touches smell like dog, and doesn't force her cold slimy nose (if it is indeed cold and slimy-- you'd never know because she keeps it to herself!) and drooly mouth on passersby. In fact, during the years she had a drooly mouth, I certainly didn't let her use it to molest everyone she wanted to investigate.
No comparison. Dogs are physically gross, they don't keep it to themselves, and too few owners see any reason to spare the public their animals' grossness. That leaves me fuming while scrubbing the crap out of my stuff.
OP has every right to not want dogs all up in her personal space. That is totally fair. Dog people need to realize that not everyone thinks it is cute. If you want a dog, be a good citizen and clean up after it and train it so that it can be controlled. Your dog should not be everyone else's headache because you're too lazy to scoop the poop.
If OP let her kid poop on your front porch, I bet most people would have a problem with OP.

one scoop oxygen bleach mixed with water in a spray bottle cleans almost any stain from an organic source- ie dog sh!t.
