I walk with it to the nearest trashcan, yes. Get the bags with the deodorizer shit in them and tie it off, held by the loose end. You're not holding poo warmth/smelling shit that will mess with your delicate sensibilities and you're not being a human piece of shit/bad dog owner.
When I walk my dog and he takes a shit I don't pick it up

I also am in a normal California neighborhood.
And yes, I hook up the bag to the poop bag holder that has a hook, then I throw the poop bag into a trash can.

It's a big deal any place where someone would take their puppy for a walk, which is coincidentally probably where people who don't pick up their dog's shit also take their dogs for a walk. A steaming pile in the middle of the sidewalk is just as dangerous as a steaming pile in the middle of a park.
I need you to at least try giving a shit about other people around you.
Yes. You are to walk around with it until you find a suitable public trashcan to dispose of it. That is part of the responsibility of owning a dog, not leaving it on the sidewalk or on other people's property.
Also, please stop comparing a pet that must abide by civilized standards to feral/wild animals. Raccoons will eat out of people's trash and spread everything around. Cats kill other animals to the point of causing ecological shifts in some areas. Birds shit directly on cars. If your dog wanted to do any of these things I would hope you'd stop it.

I don't like you OP. Because I have to go behind you and clean up your dog's poo. I mean people ALSO walk on the grass. They would appreciate not having to tip toe around like it's a minefield.

Not really no
This isn't a large park or play ground its a normal California family neighborhood.
And WTF with all you people stepping in dog shit all the time? Do you not watch where you are stepping? I see other dog shit when walking my dog and never step in it.
Keep fanning the flames.

What lol. You should absolutely be picking it up if there's even a remote chance of someone stepping in it.
My dog takes a shit in the middle of the farmers field so I don't pick that up but that's a bit different to your scenario. I still take bags with me though just in case he decides to poop elsewhere. Or we walk somewhere different.

Yeah we just fondle that shit, sniff it, let the warm plastic caress our hands and skin before adding it to my collection of doggy shit bags in my wicker basket.
no.
Insert hand into bag.
Grab shit.
Reverse bag.
Tie it up. You know how to tie a knot right?
Trash can/dumpster
What is this pilgrimage with steaming shit you're imagining here exactly? How dense are you? And the fuck do you live where there are piles of raccoon/bird/cat shit everywhere. I'm in SoCal too and every neighbor has dogs, some cats, there are birds. We have skunks and coyotes, on top of stray cats nearby too. Never see their shit. Bird shit on some plants or cars or stuff sometimes but that's it. pick up you dog's shit, goddamn
Did you even have any intention of changing your ways with this thread, or were you just looking for validation?

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
You sound like an asshole OP. Pick up your dog's shit.
If everyone did what you did there would be shit everywhere. If you don't want to pick it up let him shit in your backyard for a month and see if it ever manages to biodegrade.

Take a bag, pick that shit up. Finding dog shit smeared on the sidewalk is about the worst thing in the world, having to yank my dog away from the smooshed shit because she wants to eat it is even worse.
Op thinks it takes a summer day to make the shit go away, that shit sticks around.

A normal California neighborhood has lots of houses or apartments with trash cans at or near the curb. Try that. Or use your own. Do you have trash cans at your house or do you just throw the refuse onto the front lawn and street?

I've never had a problem holding the poop bag in my hand until the walk is over. It's not like the poop cooties are seeping through the plastic.
I use these from Amazon. You get 900 for $15, with a dispenser so you don't run out, and they're thicker than even a normal kitchen trash bag. There's no excuse.

The only places you'll find large concentrations of dog shit are at parks and dog parks. Which are included in the places I would pick shit up at. I like your condescending tone btw. Means you're 100% correct and my point is stupid. Which is nice to know.
If you don't want to pick up your dogs shit, don't get a dog. Nobody wants that in their neighbourhood
I taught my dog to go before I take him for a walk, because I don't particularly like carrying it around. But I'll still pick it up on the occasion it happens. Common coertousy and it's not like you have to actually touch it or anything.

I would happily step in dog poop using other people's shoes, even if only for a minute.

It tends to be more concentrated there, but the sidewalks/grass flanking the sidewalks on normal streets do have dog shit on them... when people don't pick it up. I don't think many people take their dogs all the way to the park to have them take a dump. They do it during a normal walk, meaning sidewalk space. The reason you don't see huge concentrations of shit on and adjacent to the sidewalks is because most decent people pick it up. If everyone stopped, you'd see a ton.
Yes, you are crazy. Pick it up and put it in the trash or flush it.

No no no, that's absolutely not what I said in that thread. You're missing a very key element to it. I said that I go in, check the general consensus, and if it goes against what I think, or what I think could be possible then I'll participate in the thread. Not that I immediately go against it for shits and giggles.

If you have hundreds, perhaps thousands of people telling you one thing, they might know something you don't OP.
Just in case, you aren't hearing it loud enough. Pick your dog's shit.

What was your point again? Leaving shit on the ground isn't a big deal despite the spread of disease? And it's unsanitary? And it attracts vermin? Did you miss the part where the OP says he leaves shit out on public sidewalks where people, kids, dogs walk?
And your defense is 'but birds do it?'
If I'm making it sound like your point is stupid (me and dozens of others), then maybe it is? Listen, I'm sorry to condescend but it's only out of frustration seeing multiple of your posts giving the OP's behavior a free pass. If I were the one talking some dumb shit, I would hope someone points it out to me. And if I doubled down in the face of evidence and repeated reasoning, I wouldn't be surprised if people resorted to a condescending tone when I seemingly handwaved their points.
No respect whatsoever, better not be in some poor neighbor's front yard.

Were you born yesterday? Did common courtesy miss you by when you grew up?
The dog is your property. It's as if you had shit there. You don't feel bad at all?

For the "it's no big deal" crew, pet waste can pollute your local waterways with fecal coliform bacteria. A quick google search can inform you that this is in fact an environmental issue.

Hey and you know what? I agree. the "you should be shot" posts are way too far.
But realize you opened up with this:
firmly placing you in the 'defense' column for the OP. You understand why we were led down this path, instead of the hyperbolic responses to the OP right?

No matter where it shits, pick it up. It's gross and it doesn't go away instantly. It takes weeks. Just because it will go away eventually doesn't mean you don't take care of it. When I was a kid I had to scoop our dog's poop in the backyard every day because if it sat in the yard for more than a day it smelled even worse and attracted dozens of flies. You're doing that to the people in your neighborhood.
If you're walking your dog on the same route and the place he shat yesterday doesn't have shit in it, it didn't decompose in that short amount of time. Someone cleaned up after your dog for you. You made someone else clean up your dog shit.

how he ever tricked someone into marrying him is even more interesting.
Dude, you're being a straight up asshole. It's not like it biodegrades in seconds. So you just leave a pile of shit on the sidewalk that any person can just step in?
Yes, did you fall out of a dog's ass just yesterday? People have been picking up shit with bags for ages now.

I was partially joking in a thread about dog shit because people were bombarding OP acting like he's a terrible human being for what he said. I also didn't open up with that. I opened up with:

Yeah OP, do realize that all of your neighbors think you are a MONSTER.
Because you are.

keep your strippers out of my American football
So the overwhelming majority of people in this thread are telling you to pick it up, and more importantly your wife yet you want to act like YOU are the one that is right, not everyone else. I pick up after my dog as people go for walks and jogs on the neighborhood sidewalks. Who the fuck wants to see and smell dog shit while going for a leisurely stroll? It' about thinking about someone other than yourself.
At this point I think you are just being an ass for the lulz though.
