As a dog owner I walk my pets regularly. In the local park there are signs up all over the place encouraging dog owners to be responsible and clean up after their animals. There are also threats of enormous fines for those who don't. And naturally, as I live in Ireland, there are no waste bins of any sort throughout the body of the park. But it does give a particular - I'll call it - flavour to the dog walking experience. In fact, it is one that is shared by everyone who uses the park.

Fragrant Companions

Down the park, me and the dog,
Our fragrant companion, a bag of shite.
