I love dogs. Although we personally don’t have one, our daughter and son both have these wonderful canines.

However, I ask if you do have a dog then you pick up after it and that includes on all our trails. I believe the vast amount of dog owners – 90 per cent – are responsible and respectful.

But I am finding it more and more, and quite disgusting that on many trails around town, there is an abundance of dog waste and poop bags laying around. I frequent Highline, Powerline, Three Sisters river path, and the Spurline Trail to name a few and it is evident some dog owners think it’s OK to leave a mess.

And what’s with all the poop bags that owners leave? I know some owners pick them up when they return on the trail, but now that the snow is melting it’s evident some dog owners need to be more respectful of everyone in this wonderful community.
