Has your council tax bill gone up?

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

What a silly question Of course it has Could i just point out to those people who are vocal about wanting more dog bins or want them emptied more often that if you get your wish your Counil Tax will go up even more and once it goes up, it won’t be coming down . Why not find a cheaper alternative, one where you don’t have to carry plastic bags of dog poo in your hand until you get to...

Pink Poo!

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

Just seen a great article on CBBC’s newsround in relation to a council’s struggle to highlight the problem of Dog Fouling. Staffordshire council have decided to spray the normal brown deposits fluorescent pink to show how much of a problem it is.  It’s a nice start but why not go a step further, like Conwy council in Wales, and provide a solution.  Conwy have invested in 500 Dicky...

I have just adopted a rescue dog. I always clear up after him, even in the countryside, and must say that I found carrying the poo in poly bags rather uncomfortable. More than once I forgot what I was carrying, when waving at people I knew, and waved the poo bag at them, looking forward to solving the problem!Jennifer. Was great to meet you at Crufts on Saturday. I went with the intention of buying...

crufts – 4th and final day

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

I write tonight with sore feet, aching legs and a brain that’s turned to mush. Sunday at crufts was even busier than saturday and the public were on a mission to spend money.  Barry and I spent many hours demonstrating the Dicky Bag to inquisitive visitors which resulted in numerous sales and some very silly comments.  It turns out that men seem  to think it’s ok to use bags of dog...
