I made a personal vow that I was only going to allow myself to write one post about poop per month.  I’ve been pretty much sticking to this rule…check out my April and May poop-related posts.

So, for my June post, I’d like to draw your attention to a few articles I came across about a recent crack down on people who don’t pick up their dogs poop.  Check out these articles from newsday.com and the Daily News with stats on recent two-fold increase on tickets given to New Yorkers for not picking up their dog’s #2.

On top of the increase in the number of tickets, it looks like the fine itself will also be increasing from $100 to $250 in the near future.  Here’s a great article that takes you on a day in the life of a NYC Sanitation Department Canine Task Force agent - that’s a mouthful, but in layman’s terms… it’s the guy who busts you for not picking up your dog’s crap.

Woohoo!!  I only have one question…can I start making citizen’s arrests?
