Keeping out of the CR**P!

Now, for a change I am going to take a slightly alternative tack with this blog and tackle the subject of canine ASBO's. Before I get started did you notice that I didn't start this blog off with the “W” word this time and I promise to try to keep to maintain the missing “W” as long as I can.
So, have you, like me, spent years keeping out of the cr*p? This is at least one activity that I have spent most of my time in the army, at IBM and all the other places I have worked up until leaving the good old county council this year. All in all about 46 working years but I think at the Council I may have got it wrong and well and truly stood knee deep there though. Mind you this is with the benefit of hindsight.
Anyway, to continue, I have always had an odd relationship with dogs, (NO!! Not a relationship like that) I am just not comfortable around them and they know it. I think that they know I am a cat person really as I feel that cats are really in charge, cats are all together brighter than dogs. After all you don't see cats chasing around after a stick until they are fit to drop and cats are much easier to look after too.
OK, let me get back on track. Avoiding being in the crap is what I was talking about but what I am really referring to the the problem of dogs cr*******g on the streets and on the beaches. As someone said in response to my earlier reference to this subject “Just like on the beaches of Southsea then” Where there are numerous signs along every beach there AND here in Ibiza in both Spanish and Catalan saying “No Peros” or “No Cans” However the dog owners of Ibiza ignore the signs and on top of that probably let their dogs roam freely on the streets to leave the messy parcels for us to step in. Mind you threats of £500 fines in Portsmouth do very little to deter many dog owners
Yes yes I know I'm having a rant but I have to get it off my chest as I an fed up with having to walk the streets with eyes cast down so that I can avoid stepping on anything unpleasantly doggy. ... apart from my looking dodgy though.
The news so far is ..... “So far so good........ Clean shoes”.

Weeeeeeellllllll! Nice villa! More images please - how about inside? How about you two posing, in a leisurely style?
Home at last. Lovely :-)
As for all the C***, now you can become a valued member of the community and start the local 'Doggie Doo Disposal Drive'. Perhaps you could get the local authorities to put up Doo Doo bins and provide free scoopers and Doo Doo bags....... Oh dear you have got me started now.
I agree - cats are much easier.
Will you get a cat?

All love as ever
