signs (of hounds)

here is a dog sign in Windsor Great Park. Kezia, wearing a dalmation hat, was eager to stand by the sign for a photo.

here is the standard Isle of Wight dog sign. you need to look at it closer up to see its scrawyness. also shown is a faded sign so you can see the difference between the red and black print fade resistivity.

this is a Dog Warden’s roving dog poop warning sign. it’s quite an old sign – London telephone numbers changed format ages ago.
This indicates that there’s been no inflationary pressure on the maximum fine associated with ‘fouling’ over this period. Perhaps there are other pressures keeping this price down.
Of course the whole dog fouling problem would be solved if dog’s rear delivered gold rather than the current stuff. then owners would be very keen to pick it up and take it home.
So either someone’s got to invent a way of making dogs drop gold or else we need a dog poop to gold converting machine which would result in a financial value being attributed to each doggie do.

that can happen.

look at this home made beauty. no expense spared here !

This is a great dog sign isn’t it ? possibly the jolliest i’ve ever seen.
and, to my great joy, the chap with his hound is at the conference again this year. i shall get an up-to-date picture before the week is out … (and here it is)

Brad also sent me this picture of a hound from the Bronx, NY. i can see a whole raft of US lawsuits by poo-pickers if they try and copy this man’s poo-picking posture:
