Sunset Park Tops Brooklyn's List of Poopiest Nabes

HA! i just read about manhattan's poopiest neighborhood and it turns out being the UWS (tho more specifically western harlem) and it's true. i cant tell you how many times i stepped in poop up there. also it's frowned upon up there to pick up after your dog and yes, "fa&&y" to do so as i was told numerous times picking up my dogs dumplings. also the fact that too many dog owners up there refused to use leashes. im not a griper about things like that but the dogs off leashes was my number one quality of life issue that made me leave upper manhattan. i love my dog, but i dont think ill ever get another dog again living in nyc. there's so much time, energy, and cost that goes into keeping a dog and most of time ill be honest the benefits of having a dog don't outweight the annoyance factor (ugh im sounding like a terrible person with that last comment im sure). the biggest perk of being a gay man is that you don't have kids to have to take care of. the fact that i willingly adopted a dog that is just like a kid is mind boggling. i still love my dog tho and would never give him up. we're stuck with each other.

i used to have my dog actually go poop in the gutter and was told once by someone that it's not a good thing to do. i dont remember what their reasoning was though.. this wasnt a vent or anything, just a plain gutter on the corner that rainwater goes into.. does anyone know why that might not be a good idea? it used to amuse people when he'd go in the gutter and everyone was like wow he's so well train (lol). people who let their dogs poop and dont pick it up are also people who often litter and throw their dirty diapers down airshafts. it's a lack of respect for one's environment and self and neighbors regardless of what excuse someone might give for it.

i have a dog walker for my dog but i only have one cuz my roommate's dog is mad old and she NEEDS one and i guess we feel if a dog walker came for her and didnt take him it might cause resentment. it's 12 bux each dog a day! that adds up fast. but he gets a nice 1/2 an hour long walk and he does his poopin' during that mid day walk so i havent had to pick up his poop in months. i think it's worth it. plus he is a lot more socialized now that he has a dog walker.

in the winter the poop are like ice pellets. ive found it easier and less as bad to step in cuz it's crunchy in the winter to step on than in the summer when it's well, a big steamin' pile. you might be right tho. i was an a-hole back in the day living in new brunswick nj when i had a dog and i let my dog poop in basically an empty lot. this old lady came out and screamed "pick up after your dog a--hole!" i called her something nasty and left. ugh. i would never do that again. honestly i didnt think it was a law or that it was part of life with a dog. i just thought dogs poop whereever as long as it wasnt on the sidewalk it was fine. living in nyc for the last 8 year has proven otherwise. PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOGS SKANKS!
