Can you believe this (Stop - No dog poop please) sign? Some people apparently need to be told this! We have super mailboxes on each street where we go to collect our mail. The city went so far as to put these blue boxes beneath them as a receptacle for unwanted mail, no doubt trying to stop people from creating a mess with their garbage.
We were all set (and excited) to visit a friend's new cottage on the weekend. He called at 8 pm the night before to cancel. It seems he had stepped out of the cottage that day and twisted his ankle on some wooden steps which were a bit damp and slippery. He was on his way to emergency because he was now thinking it was broken as he couldn't put any weight on it. M had to call the other couple who were also invited to inform them of the mishap. We hope he's not in too much pain and that he'll make a swift recovery. It sure beats a heart attack though doesn't it? When friends call like that you think the worst, and this man had a heart attack in his late thirties. He's in his early fifties now and has been fine.
As a followup to this story, it seems M's friend is in a light, modern type of cast, having broken a small bone in his foot. He is able to get around quite well with the new cast. It will take 4 to 6 weeks to heal.

I love dogs and had one as a pet in the 1970s, but I won't adopt any now due to dog poop having to be picked up by the owner. Ew!
Prayers for your friend.
I think some dogs should be training their owners, not the other way round! Valerie
oh my goodness...people! half the time here, people don't even clean up after their dogs!
enjoy your day
Amazing how a small misstep leads to this! The sign is a sign of the times. I spent a few minutes cleaning up TImmy Ho's refuse from our front ditch. I'm going to have to do a full meal deal and pick it up on both sides. sigh.
Pigs out there, for sure!
Cheers from Cottage Country!
I can't believe that sticker. Gross
:) Yeah, it's funny if you just look at it, but it's kind of sad when you realize it was necessary... I mean, that there are actually people for which you need to spell it out loud. Sigh.
Cheers,

I am really intrigued about your super mail boxes. so instead of each house having a mail box you have one large one at the end of your street? Are they all locked? I am fascinated, lol.
I haven't saw the boxes before, soon we will have signs for everything, Japan seems to have a lot of signs and my friends there sometimes joke that the government thinks for them, i'm glad your friend is OK
we do have one large one at the end of our street Lilly, and we all have individual keys. Some older streets still get door to door delivery.
Yeah... People are lazy. I'm pretty sure doing that is illegal though and you can get quite the fine for doing that.
Poor guy! I know just how he feels since it happened to me too. Wow! People are sticking their dog poop in? That is so disgusting!!!
