After a good cliff training session up at Peveril Point someone had to spoil it by stepping in dog poop. Now there is a lot of dog poop up there so we clear the area before training, I say we, it’s normally Brian that does this with a spade; often this accidentally gets flicked at someone. But Brian was away so we had to carry on without his ‘assistance’.
On the back of this we had a general discussion about the amount of dog poop in Swanage. Austen claimed it was due to there being an awful lot of dogs in Swanage, while Eric told us a story about some guy who picks up dog poop and throws it in gardens. The consensus view was that the majority did clean up after their pooches.
By way of constructive suggestions it was suggested that illuminous food colouring should be put in dog food so that poops glows at night.
Someone floated the idea of putting iron fillings in dog food so that their subsequent poops has a high metal content which could be easy hovered up with a poop-van with a magnet. Paul explained that this was a ‘rubbish’ idea as this had the fundamental flaw of all cats and dogs being attracted to the magnet and being zapped by the van as it toured the town. We suddenly had visions of cats being pulled through letterboxes by the poop-van’s ultra strong magnet.
After a quick normality check and shoe inspection it was back in the MRU to return to station.
