"people who let their dogs foul pavements are dirty bad-mannered, unhygienic and under Byelaw 15 can be fined £20":
i've put on lots of weight since i started driving to work. i'm now walking up to 40km/week instead of up to 80km/week previously so it's not surprising. anyway, i've starting making an effort to do a 30 minute speed walk during the day when possible so my body (and brain) doesn't seize up.
here are a number of dog signs all within 5 minutes walk of gillette corner (which is near my office). i get the feeling someone in hounslow council is a little anti-dog poo.
jenny sent me this photo of a person cleaning up after their dog in a very uncomfortable way. it loks like they are using a pokey stick and a plant pot.
jewel also sent me this fantatic wobbly dog being tapped from behind with a spade !

now this is an interesting dog poo sign as it shows someone about to step in one. which is a nice graphic reminder of why cleaning up poo is a good plan.
this sign was stuck high up a wall which meant you couldn't look at it and see where you are putting your feet, which is a shame as you are more likely to stand in some canine plop that way i would have thought. oh well.
this is a pretty historic photo. kezia spotted the dog sign and said "do you want to take a photo dad", so i said yes.
she ran up to it and posed in front of it. just as i was about to take the photo she said "make sure you get emily-rebecca in", so i did.
emily rebecca (not sure about the hyphen) is kezia's (invisible) friend who came on the walk with us. this is her first appearance in a photo.
we've had this dog sign before, but it was in the early days, and this is on a black bin with a yellow lid.
things to note are the shape of the person's head, their crouching position and the words 'use this bin' which are quite aggressive
we went for a family outing to the Cotswold Wildlife Park yesterday and it was very good.
i knew it would be good when i saw this sign, which covers so many different categories and includes the word 'poop' ! Expect lots of pictures of animals over the next few days.
i sent kezia to stand in front of this sign as i was too scared.

this chap has a very strange head and oddly bent feet. and he seems to be picking up that poo without any gloves on.
it similar to this one and these ones.
it's fine for everyone else to smoke, except guide dogs. of all the dogs available to modern man i would have thought that a guide dog would be the least likely to smoke as it understands better than other dogs about medical related issues.
but i could be wrong. perhaps the pressure of the job gets to them. we know st bernards turn to drink, so perhaps guide dogs find relief through smoking.

i don't normally post the same dog twice, but this chap is standing next to a cigarette thus allowing me to make a pun around the concept of 'dog ends'. here's the original version of this chap
and here's another varient:

keith (the other half of pootlecat) sent me these two picture.
and this is a more bizarre curiosity. keith remarked on the hands of the child, but i think the person doing the funky dancing on the bottom left is much more interesting !
here is a dog sign has been graffiti'd and posted to fantastic website Pictures of Walls. this one is here
i found it via Russell's blog (Russell reads this blog i think, so "hello Russell" if you're passing).
not a great one this as it was taken out of a car window as we speeded by. but if you look above the standard 'infinity dog sign' you can see a different sort of dog.

it's a tarantino version of this one.
you might have heard about the diana memorial garden ? it's been a bit of a classic - originally a nice idea but went all a bit wrong when people slipped in the water channel. oh well
it's actually looking very nice now
and see how many categories i can put it in: no dogs, no cycles, people, royalty and slippery floor
it's a long way to tipperary, but if you do go you should look out for this dog sign. a standard north european dog picture, but with some nice local information around it.
i like the way it makes it clear it's addressed to the dog owners rather than the dogs themselves.
this photo was sent to me by Jenny (a great artist - check out her webpage).
She says "Here's one from a B&B in Ireland - the woman who ran the place was very stern, and one of the other patrons nicknamed her "The Warden" --- this is a sign out front of the property"
here is a strange dog. it's legs don't look right to me. but then i know little about much.
on a related note, i got an email from Sergei, the chap that runs this website. it's another collection of dog signs and there's surprising little overlap between our two sites !
thanks
