6:15am a #rubbish #truck went down the close near us. It's not #BinDay so I'm not sure what it's collecting. I'm used to being woken up by "this truck is reversing" but as it came back to the #road I got a whole new experience: "this truck is turning left, this truck is...". Perhaps next week it'll be announcing gear changes as well.
10 min later #dogwalkers were #chatting under the #bedroom #window. Sleep? Fat chance.

#Walking for my #health has become a #nightmare. Off #leash #dogs may be #friendly, #jumping & #barking at me. #Owners seem to think I shouldn't be #outdoors unless I'm be happy to #risk being knocked over & wash out #muddypaw marks. I've walked in the #woods for 20 yrs but now some #dogwalkers tell me I shouldn't if I'm not happy to meet their untrained #dogs.
Thank you to all responsible #dogowners, you are a joy to see. If only every #dogwalker were like you.

A #turnstone hunting #invertebrates along the tide line on #BelfastLough this afternoon.
They weren’t given much peace with all the #dogwalkers, though…

Leaving dog and cat poo lying around isn't just gross. It's a problem for native plants and animals, too

Pet parasites "can lay dormant in poo for as long as 18 months, waiting for a host to jump into. Symptoms include blindness and seizures, and have been observed in kangaroos, wallabies, possums, wombats, bandicoots and bilbies."

"Dog poo might signal to wildlife that predators are about and they should stay away. Recent research shows that in 83% of tests, Australian native mammals recognised dogs as a threat – with dog poo being a common trigger."

Dog poo is linked to illness, pollution and antibiotic resistance

Special place in hell for you fucks

You can tell it's a beautiful spring like day. Why you may ask? Because today I had quite a few loose dogs trying to bite me on the cycle track and as usual the owners didn't care.. #springb #dogwalkers

I trudge and tramp the #footpaths of #England, invariably alone. #River #paths are different: populated and convivial. Encounters with ever-optimist #fishermen, the self-sacrificing #DogWalkers, the #mother encouraging their truculent #son to take another step. All have #stories to tell. I’ve enjoyed hearing and your sharing some of them today along the #RiverTrent #Nottinghamshire. #GoodLuck to you all. Wasn’t it #beautiful!

Have an important question to ask of mastodon #stoners

I've lately become a big fan of the #dogwalkers preroll joints, sold 11 in a package, a very discrete plastic container with dividers that keeps the joints from getting smushed up. They are dosed at half a gram of flower, but are also rolled in kief.

The only thing I don't like is their price, around $40 at the dispensary, but also I hate to waste the plastic of buying a brand new container.

So I would like to load up the dogwalkers...
