Anarchic Defecation

People don't clean up after their dogs here.  And there are a lot of dogs.  It kind of grossed me out at first, but it didn't take long to adjust to the new reality.  Yesterday, Mike and I went for a run along the boardwalk in Puerto Madero, and we saw a woman with a plastic bag actually picking up her dog's shit!  In Calgary, I wouldn't have even noticed.  After getting used to to the local custom of "a poo laid is a poo played", it just seemed wrong that she would demean herself that way.  Anyway, my poo-dar is getting pretty good, no major missteps yet.  Every once in a while, I see a skidding shoe print smeared through some caca de perro, and wonder if I'm going to be next.
