There’s been a lot of angry talk about dog poo recently, notably from Fumier. Although I have two dogs, I have to agree. I think dog poo is not attractive, and that people should train their servants to pick it up, if they are too busy to walk their own dogs.

My neighbours’ servant routinely lets their two dogs crap on the pavement right in front of me, sashaying off with the dog-poo newspaper, unused, under her arm. When I confront her about it she says: But everybody else does it too.

I also read a terrible article about the size of a dog’s carbon footprint - you might as well own a couple of jumbo jets and fly them every day. And here I was so smug because I don’t have a car, don’t use air conditioning, always travel by train etc. I’m finished.

But … a world without dogs?

    Ahhh. a better pic of Piles (sorry I called him Poles), he has slim legs and is more bulky on the upper part of his body. Do you let him play and run often with other dogs in the area?

    I suppose Cats also have a carbon footprint (paw), I wonder if theirs is bigger than a dog, as Casts have a sneaky habit of covering their Carbon footprint up after it is out.

    Thank you! Do you recognise any? Or next time you’re in Pui O and suddenly greet dogs by name, imagine how astonished their owners will be!
    If they ever walk them, that is.

    Jimsee, I wish Piles would play more with other dogs, but he’s become a little bit staid. He sometimes runs half-heartedly on the beach with Coffee.
    Interestingly, if I tell him off or move to put the leash back on him, he runs after Lasi and seems to enjoy scaring the shit out of her. I don’t we should treat animals as totally lacking in feelings … or cunning!

    “But…a world without dogs?”

    Exactly.

    If we’re to follow the environazis’ agenda, let’s start by killing all their CO2-emitting pets and parents, and cancelling all their jet-setting beach holidays, before we demand that taxi drivers roast in their cabs during the summer with the aircon turned off.
