Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to the Jonesy and Demanda podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
How are you going doing well? You know, I take
my dog earning responsibilities seriously. If I take the dog
out for a walk, I've always got a lead, even
though she walks probably better without the lead, but I
put her on the lead most of the time.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
There's something sweet about you walking with your dog. You
walk along and she just is right to your heel.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
You know what happens now these days that she's older,
we often just do a sniff walk in that it's
not exercise, it's just taking in the smells. We both
do the sniff walk. It's a little amble just to
get out of the house and get some fresh air.
But anyway, she's on the lead, and I take poo
bags if I can, and I mean I always do,
and hopefully I've got enough, but it's fraught if you don't.

(00:44):
But this is what happened the other day. I was
walking through the dog park and there was a giant
steaming sorry dog leavings, yeah okay, covered in flies, so
relatively fresh, and it's just massive. And I looked around
and in the corner of the park was a TV crew.

(01:06):
I thought, am I being set up here.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Do you think it's like cannid camera.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
That's what I wondered at That's what I said. And
then I looked over the other side of the park
and on the bench was a man whose dog was
wandering around, because you can, dogs can be off the lead.
A man sitting down with a broken leg with his
crutches beside the bench, and I thought, is this part
of the steam that supposedly his dog maybe has done

(01:35):
this poo and people are looking to see who will
pick it up, what the community's spirit is around it.
I didn't pick it up. Oh, look at your face.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Was risky, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Well, there's nothing worse than picking up what you think
is your own dog poo and it's through the plastic bag,
it's relatively cold, and you think that's not mine. But
this one was afreshy, but it wasn't my dogs fresh
wine taste. Spat it back into the bucket. But what
do you think the etiquette would be? Yes, I walked

(02:09):
straight past.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, okay, I would have picked it up for the
sake of the crew.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
But I don't know if they had anything to do
with it.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, But nonetheless I.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Didn't want to run the risk of it. Remember in COVID,
Remember we were all taught pick up litter, pick up litter,
and then during COVID, no one was going to pick
up someone else's litter, someone else's tissues. We just didn't
do that. I don't think you should pick up someone
else's dog pooh, do you? Yeah, it doesn't happen to me.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
I don't have a dog.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Did you pick up your own? Not your own pooh,
but your own when you did have a dog? Were
any good with that? In the old days? Remember when
we grew up, there was no one I didn't have
a dog but their neighborhood dogs. No one had to lead,
no one walked their dogs. No one ever picked up
poo that is free range everywhere.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, I remember I was down the South coast with
my mother, who's not the biggest dog fan in the world,
and there was a local dog, Sid, named after Sid
Vicious because he was a nut and one of those
dogs you just walk around the beach anyway. Sid went
up and weed all over a small child that was
sitting on the beach, and the owner yelled at my mother,
who had nothing to do with Sid and didn't like

(03:15):
me must control of your dog, wit he said, And
then she's decided to give it back. You know, mother,
No it's not my anyway.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
When I used to walk the dog in the mornings,
I when we'd go and have coffee afterwards, I would
put my keys in a dog poo bag. So I'd
have a bag that I had, whether it had droppings
in it or not, but I would put my keys
in one. And at the cafe and we're going to
the loo and I just put that on the bench.
E one looked horrified, and I thought, oh no, no,
they're just keys. It looked like I just casually put
a bag of dog poo on the beach. You're trying
to start your car with dog poop. Well, when you

(03:48):
get to the bin, you have to feel the bottom
of me to say which one's which.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Has that been on film?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
I don't know if your current affair. Apologies all round,
