Dogged Doings Revisited
Coming back to the Merse a couple of days earlier than scheduled for complicated reasons not unconnected with sore teeth another reference to the burning topic of dog waste caught my eye in the letter columns of the Berwickshire
, - I write on behalf of Duns Amateur Football Club to appeal to the dog owner(s) who have recently been allowing their pet(s) to foul on the football pitch at Gavinton without picking up their mess.
I am sure that the culprit(s) will already be aware that it is against the law not to pick up after your dog(s) and that the irresponsibility of their actions can also have serious consequences to the health and safety of others.
Please put a stop to this disgusting practice, pick up after your dog(s) and have more consideration for the many adults and children who share Gavinton football pitch.
Reading between the lines I suspect that the writer has a suspect or even suspect (s) in mind who may have one incontinent mongrel or a number of cur(s) . Its actually quite rare in country parts and unknown in Spitall to have one man, one dog, and the professional dogwalkers can have up to a dozen on leash with the human minder's pockets bulging with little plastic bags, or in the case of Spitall, not.
Gavinton is a small, neat ,well organised village and irresponsible dog owners would be pretty conspicous and especially so when allowing their charges to crap all over the football pitch. For goodness sake make use of the miles amd miles of lush uncrowded pastures where your best friend can foul the endless fields of billous rape to its heart's content.
Gavinton has a tradition of an annual Pantomime. Lots of local dramatic talent. One would hope that the offending animal owners could be suitably pilloried-named and shamed in deathless dramatic drama in a production say of
Dick Whittington and his Incontinent Cat?
Goldilocks and the Three Curs?
The possibilities are endless

I shall send a picture of the multiple colonic blobs from a neighbours' dogs which are but 3 metres from my kitchen window. They seem to be picked up once a week.And people think it's all rural bliss round here.

Please do. JPEG rather than BMP please so as the quality is not too high-images rather than the blobs, of course. I make no judgement on their quality
I shall have to take a cunning shot when they are not around. Wonder what MI5/6 does in similar curcumstances. Their blessed barking at odd hours of the night helps to take our mind off the gas guns, though.
