Very bad in terms of community spirit and hygiene. If Hugh and Mr Magoo had been there, they would have told him off. Lovely little capture without the poo.

Great story Michael, and he looks like he's walking off without a care in the world. Perhaps he had no little black bags with him! Either that or he didn't want get his hands cold in the snow.

Thanks Derek. Barney McGroo would have sorted him out.

Thanks Ellen. Mr. Pugh is one of those people who we've all met before; shameless. Perhaps he'll get his come-uppance when he eventually goes to that great poo in the sky.

I just love it!! Thanks for cheering me up on this sunny, but cold day where I am.

That's great Gudrun. Keep warm and cosy there.

Lovely little painting Michael!

Lol.....it's not funny really, the cheek of the man. I once had a small issue myself in this regard, after asking very nicely that this lady who allowed her very large St. Bernard's to poo on my drive twice! The nice way didn't work, so the next gift left on my drive was place very delicately on her car windscreen. You know, it didn't happen again, I wouldn't mind but we lived in the middle of nowhere and were surrounded by fields and lanes!

Thanks Satu. Fiona! A St. Bernard! It gives another dimension to that proverbial, 'shovellling..........' Your John Deere with a front scoop would have been appropriate to use.

What an irresponsible dog owner, it just makes me cross!! Your painting did make me smile though Michael.

Thanks Margaret. We always had a dog until about four year ago. At one time we had five together. I would love another but it would have to be an old rescue one and a new hip, which I'm hoping to get on 13th. March. I live on hope.

Watercolour. The other day we had a couple of inches of snow outside our house. Mr. Pugh walked past with his little dog, stopped and the dog had a poo. Instead of picking it up with a black bag he just walked on and left it. I ran to the window and shouted, 'Hey, you should pick that up' but he just walked on out of sight. What a liberty.
