*************************
We are so fortunate to have a beautiful off the leash enclosure near the Molson Centre (now called Sadlon Arena). Lots of people and their dogs use it every day.
I am wondering why people do not pick up after their dogs? Not only do they not pick up right away, but when they do pick up, they put it in a bag then toss the bag away on the property. This is very disrespectful and lazy.
The paths are like a minefield.
The people who just stand in the middle or sit on the benches while their dogs at least get exercise seem not to notice them doing their business. Get off your phones for 10 minutes and watch your dog.
It's too bad that the dog-people population don't care enough to clean up in this wonderful area.
