[lettie]

Being a dog owner who does clean up after the pooch, I hate to see shog dite. There's a girl round here who lets her dog poop wherever it wants and never cleans it up. I once chucked a bucket of water and bleach over an offending turd outside my house. I made sure that the lass and her dog were walking by at the time and I literally bleached her feet....

I think the reason that we no longer see white shog dite is because canine diets are different now. Not only do we humans follow the latest diet trends but we impose the behaviour onto our pets. When I was little our neighbours dog ate scraps from the table and old bones from the butcher, nowadays dogs eat dog food. I believe that the difference in diet would be a major contributor to the demise of white shog dite. Not that it was any prettier than the brown variety......
