I agree, Pete.  People who do not "scoop" are rude, inconsiderate beings who do not deserve the privelege of owning  a dog.  BTW, the pups in dohnation's flickr are in the house - not romping in the park, and Remy is so adorable I want to "dognap" him - don't worry - I won't,because my very jealous Mio (a cat) would never forgive me

There are plenty of people that don't clean up after their dogs where they are allowed, sidewalks, etc.  I have a dog and get disgusted by this.  Yes, Remy's pictures are a highlight!  Well the good news is we have a beautiful park to take advantage of this summer so let's just look at the bright side of things.  Lucky us!

Thanks for the praise - Remy is a definitely a charmer.  He's "The Mayor" of the neighborhood - has to say hi to everyone.    I agree on the whole poop thing,  I usually pick up other dog poop when Remy "does his business".  I'm not sure why some people are so inconsiderate (weird).  Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in non-designated areas in State or City parks.  I did mention to Eric Gioia that most of the best NYC parks have top-flight dog runs (Washington Square Park, Central Park, Madson Square Park, Carl Shurz Park, etc.).  He acknowledged the lack of a good dog park and the fact that the big dog park by the tennis bubble is about to disappear, but did not have any immediate solutions.  I suggested sprucing up the dog park at the intersection of Vernon and 48th Avenue (expand, regrade, refence, create a double-door entry, some pea gravel and new seating).  At least this will take care of the small to medium size dogs until something else is built...
