Dear editor:

My husband and I are happy owners of two spaniels, which we walk most every day, twice a day in the Commons.

We feel so fortunate to have such a beautiful space to take them and let them run, and see other dogs as well.

This past Sunday as we were walking them we came across seven poop bags that were full and left behind for someone else to pick up and dispose of. (This is a common occurrence, by the way.)

This not only made me angry, but embarrassed. Surely this was not an accident. 

Someone took the time to fill the bag, but could not or would not carry it to one of the conveniently placed receptacles, of which there are four around the area.

Not only is this rude and disrespectful to the beautiful town we live in, but to the other dog owners and their pets. Surely we can do better.

Show your appreciation for being so fortunate to live in this gorgeous place.

I am asking for people to do their due diligence. If you love your dog and if you have any self-respect, pick up and deposit it in the proper place.

Thank you,

Kathleen Curran
