:), Yes Klaproos, let us (and our dogs, even if mine is hypothetical) be the example for others, I think it’s an educational thing:) Your dogs look so intelligent, I’m sure they know what they are doing!

oh this kind of thing happens here too, and often these things are long gone before the people from the municipality can pick them off the street:). All the better if someone else can use the things we don’t want anymore, avoids bigger heaps of rubbish…

I know that in all big cities there are dogs, but in Paris there are a lot of them, which is nice I think cause you can study their behaviours as civilized pets, and that of their owners:)

Cris, they put out those laws and bags here too, but the bags are only in certain, rare places, and the laws not applied, so…what can you do:)

I absolutely LOVE this painting. How very Parisian. and how Oregonian too. We have laws and bags out around areas here, but some just dont seem to care and leave it. Ruins it for the rest of us that do clean up. I look forward to more of what you do.
And thanks so much for thinking of me . You did tell me already and I was so touched that you thought of me. I look forward to getting them. ) Thank you once again. xoxo Cris

I love these paintings of Paris life so much, Andrea! This one with the dogs is perfect as there are a lot of dog owners there to be sure! This painting is wonderful and it sounds as though you have some other lovely paintings planned!

As for the dog poo! If you do not clean it up after your dog here, you are fined. In some places bags and disposal bins are provided for you to get rid of the offense. When we lived in England, everyone was incredibly polite about cleaning up after their dogs, even in the forest area. I don’t remember seeing a lot of poo when I have been in Paris, but maybe I haven’t been to the right places, either!

Here is to clean Paris Streets and Parks!

Dogowners and everyone else should always be sensitive about what they leave on the street.
Last night someone put his old couch in front of my door.
It has been taken away but i thougt it funny because you now talk of streetsouvenirs.
Wish you a lovely weekend Andrea.
Tomorrow klaproos is teaching me photography.
