Subject: Cleaning up after dogs

There have been some complaints about not picking up after dogs or
allowing dogs to use the area by the back door as their own out-house.
A reminder: City ordinances are explicit (see the Vanguard homepage
at http://1250westvanburen.com for some of the ordinances that guide
our rules), and our own rules are explicit.
Remember, it's not just a courtesy to the rest of us to clean up after
a dog; it's an offense that risks a fine.
So, please clean up after your dogs.
(A question also arose: What if a dog walker hired by an own and not the
actual owner fails to clean up? It's the own who still takes the heat,
so make sure your walkers know the rules)
