Cleaning up after our fur babies
I have just returned from a walk with my young labrador and feel so privileged to have so many lovely places in which to walk him safely. I especially appreciate the off-lead areas, one of which we visited today - Lake Rotomanu. What a lovely place to walk, for the dogs and for us, with spectacular views of the mountain and all the lovely bird-life. What was not so lovely was all the dog faeces left lying around the walking area. There is no excuse - if you are walking a dog, you know it is likely to poop and all you need to do is carry a bag or two. There is a bin close to the start of the Lake area near the carpark ( beach end) and there is a big bin in the new car parking area, and one down near the river mouth. I am concerned that if we dog owners do not clean-up after our dogs, they will take these privileges away from us, as the general public (walkers and runners) which use the area will complain; as they should. Please pick up your dog poo and make sure we have these wonderful dog-walking areas for all time.
