To whom it may concern

An open letter to the person who lets their dog foul the sidewalk in front of my house and doesn't pick it up:

I hope you ruin a good pair of shoes because of someone else's stupidity.

Sincerely,

Michael Woyton

Diamonds are a dog's best treat?

Three days? What kind of diet is this dog on?

ABC News has a video about golden retriever who swallowed a huge diamond.

Watch it here.

I'll bet that dog was never so consistently picked up after than during that time.

News you can use

Fran Lee, the woman who fought for pooper-scooper laws, died at age 99.

Here's her obituary from the New York Times.

Read the story in the New York Times.

And finally, from the San Jose Mercury News: It's never too late to socialize your dog.

I should send this to some of the people who live on my block.
