Blyth beach today.

[willywetegg]

Well it is my grandaughter\"s 3rd birthday tomorrow so being the doting grandad I thought I would take her out and get a nice prezzie.

As I am going fishing tonight I also had to go to Scotts at Whitley bay. Aaaahhhh I thought we can go and collect some shells on the beach.

I have never ever seen so much dog crap in one area in my life. There is no excuse for it as there is a bin by the car park that all of these dog owners have to pass.

There is only one thing for it IMHO. All dogs should be banned from ALL beaches ALL of the year instead of some of the beaches some of the year.

It is absolutely disgusting.



Disgusted of Consett.

I am a dog owner and a regular on the board and go to beaches in the cleveland area with the dog. I always clear up the poop after he has been for his toilet visit whether that be in the garden or on the beach. I am sorry that this has vexed ya but please dont tar us all with the same brush. These people do not deserve to have a dog if they are not prepared to cleanit up.

regards

ditto,

I too am one who delights in swinging a bag of dog sh it around when out with the dog.

I\'m afraid us poop scoopers/sh it shovelers are just the minority tho

They\'ll be stopping Beagles smoking on public beaches soon an\' all!

LOLMFAO
Amazing how posts can be relevant to each other.

I\"m not having a go at the proper dog owners who do clean up.

My problem is with the dirty gits that do not clean up after there animals.

The main problem that I have though is the fact that I had my grandaughter with me and I did not dare let her pick up shells on the beach, such an innocent thing to do for a child but I do not want her to go blind which we all know could easily happen. It is not just scare mongering it is a real threat.

If everyone including dog owners complained about this I am sure that something would be done about it. I will be sending a letter and emails to Blyth council about it.

If they would like I will take a camera down with me or a video camera and give them some evidence of who is doing it.

On a lighter note Ell rotfpmsl I just had a drink and was in the process of swallowing it and nearly choked mate cheers.

for what its worth, the toxicara virus is more common in cat turds than dogs. An the sneaky bast ards bury theirs!

 

[willywetegg]

I do appreciate that mate but I would guarantee that you would have been disgusted this morning. Am now thinking of phoning the Guinness book of records for the biggest amount of turds in one area. I did think of a certain football ground before the follow on posts start lol.

 

[willywetegg]

Well I sent off a lengthy e-mail,to Blyth Council today. When I get my reply I will post it on here for you all to see as I think it has something to do with us all.

In the said e-mail I told him I was a fisherman that fished that spot regularly(and always took my rubbish home). I only hope (for his sake) that he does not bring that into consideration as it will not do his case much good.

As I have mentioned this I feel that I must say again DO NOT LEAVE LITTER WHEREVER YOU FISH. Please take it home with you as one day your dog could swallow a hook or get mono wrapped around it\"s neck. It would not be easy to defend something like that.

 

[willywetegg]

Sorry meant to say it will only be posted with his permission.

 

[John]

Now that is what I call SPAMMING

 

[willywetegg]

Sorry John did not mean to offend you mate.

Not at all Jim,thought I might have just had too many Vodkas and seeing double no treble LOL

 

[alan]

Jim i\'ve got to agree with you on this m8,i\'am an ex dog owner myself,i realy applaud the people that pick there dogs crap up its not pleasant i agree but its got to be done,the problem i find is the ones that don\'t give a damn i think alot of them sneek around in the dark or go to secluded places (beaches,woods etc) knowing fine well nobody will see them.....
I was\'nt going to reply to this post but on Monday evening i spent 20 minutes cleaning dogs crap off my sons shoes and that was walking along a footpath next to a main road.

willy

you mentioned you\'d been to Scotts and then went to beach. I hope it wasn\'t Whitley Bay beach after you sent the mail to Blyth Valley as you may eat humble pie. Whitley beach will be North Tyneside Council. If not accept my apologies.

 

[peter.m]

a couple of beers before reading the header - BLYTH BEACH - sorry

 

[willywetegg]

alan.f spot on mate that is why I posted in the first place. 20 minutes cleaning a bairns shoes before you can let them in the house. That child doesn\"t know whats wrong they have allready spread it all over.

Then it gets even worse when its the car. Tell me what you all carry to combat this problem. Probably the same as me, nowt.

Never mind I recieved an e-mail from Blyth Boro today and the nice gentleman explained the situation. The dog warden is off on long term sick leave but a new one is being trained as we speak and will be on the ball soon.

They are also thinking about allowing the beach warden to fine the said miscreants that let their dogs foul. I did not know that there was a beach warden, if anyone does I would like to know. (not that that is a problem I would just like to know if any one has seen him)

peter.m. Don\"t worry about it mate I have made that mistake a few times myself.

Aye Peter its that time of night m8 lol

 

[blackvelvet]

Blyth beach does have a beach warden, you know the wee house that is at the entrance to the beach??well that\'s where he hangs out.but it doesn\'t make a blind bit of difference because if it,s not dog dirt it\'s human rubbish and lots of it. Blyth seems to think it\'s doing a good job on the cleaning side of things but if they think it\'s clean I dred to think what there houses look like.
By the way I have three dogs of my own :casstet: :casstet:

 

[willywetegg]

Havn\"t been down for a couple of weeks blackvelvet but doubt very much if it has changed. As I previously stated I know there are a some responsible dog owners but obviously not nearly enough.
