    I carry my full bag and appreciate it when others do also. Of course it's easy for me. Kota weighs 6.5 pounds, ergo, little poops. I use recycled zip lock sandwich bags, I can fill, zip, and stuff them in my pockets. Although DW gets really angry with me if I forget to take them out and she finds them in the laundry. It's a good thing the zip lock are tough and don't open.

    Wow Dallas - Ginnie gets fired up with me if I leave a tissue in my pocket. I can only imagine the wrath I'd encounter if she found one of these little gems.

    We have had problems in our neighborhood, and obviously from large dogs.

    Our neighbors have a Neapolitan Mastiff and unfortunately only pick up their backyard about once a month — that gets nasty when it’s really hot out.

    Molly usually provides us a good pound o poo on a walk, and Dave faithfully carries it home. So, camper story...it seemed to me that our closet stunk so I suspected poo on a shoe. Nope! It was in a jacket pocket.

    We have traveled to places where dogs are not longer allowed, something about protecting the water shed.

    Here's one I don't get at all; Dog poop bags are provided at the trail head, so a person takes a bag, when the dog poops they pick up the poop in the bag, then tie it off and drop it on the trail and leave it.
    I live in Communist California, in the San Francisco Bay area. You would think all the tolerant people out here and all the environmentalist wackos out here would be picking it up and hauling it away. But that's not the case. On the few trails that still allow dogs on them, they do the same thing. They pick it up in the plastic bag and then toss the bag in the bushes. It would be better just to pick up the poop and toss the poop off the trail. The poop will compost Within weeks. But the plastic bag will take several months.
    The other thing I do not get is there are more horse trails than dog trials on the peninsula. Yet you never see anybody picking up after their horse. Personally I would rather clean a little poop off my tennis shoes from a dog, then step in a pile a horse leaves and have it go all the way up to my ankle. Yes I have owned horses in the past and I speak from personal experience.

    The person that sees you leave it thinks you're bad, but the person that sees you pick it up on the way back give you double kudos.
    So your slightly ahead.

    Lol!

    We just returned from our normal trail walk. I picked up an extra bag on the trail. As long as I’m ahead in numbers I think I’ll feel okay about myself.

    Now that's an interesting deposit in the Karma bank.

    I grew up in ranch country, you learn early on in life to watch were you step. I'll take horse poop any day over dog poop, easier to clean. Ok, I'll even take cow patties and sheep droppings over dog poop. But I will take dog poop over bear poop. Bear poop is really too close to human poop. Human poop is the worst. When doing volunteer work and cleaning bathrooms at campground we called people that would poop in the showers or be unable to poop in a toilet Monkeys, a play on words for the habit of Monkeys taking a hand full of poop and throwing it.

    You might say I am a poopoligist. Ok, lets not.

    In reality I think their is a particular type of bacteria in dog and human poop (other species as well) that tends to contaminate water sources long after the event. Just something we all need to be responsible about.

    I am only replying to this thread to let people know how easy this is.
    we keep tied to our 2 dog leashes a container that holds dodo bags
    we put the hand in the bag, grab the poop and pull the bag over the item, never touching the easy disposable waste from fido.
    I then put it in a bag form the grocery store and wait till the second K9 decides it is time.
    on the way back to the 5er we usually pass a park disposal depository station, you know a dumpster and by the time we are at camp, smell free.
    I think those who do not do such are pigs. sorry but it is a very easy task no matter what size dog, before beatrice passed she was 85 pounds, greatest boxer ever, and I would gladly clean up after her again for a few more days with that dog.
