To the incredibly civilised looking women in the Dulwich Park cafe this morning around 9.45am. I think this was some kind of dog walking group as there were around 20 women in the cafe while aprox ten-15 dogs waited outside. Some dogs (three- four I think) were on leads, the others roamed around freely, one laying a giant turd under one of the picnic tables. Another begged at our feet, licking my two year old's hands and taking his breakfast from his hands as he sat. Although a sheet of clear glass separated this lovable pooch from it's owner, they stayed inside the cafe sipping their latte unannounced. As some of the group left the cafe talking about how they must now walk their dogs, I asked if our shaggy breakfast companion belonged to them. They quickly said no. Regardless I pointed out the early christmas present that Lassie had laid under the table and suggested the owner may want to clear this up so others could enjoy the area. They walked away (with dogs)with no further interaction. Two hours later I came back to the cafe (and not just on dog poo duty) and the incriminating turd was still laying in prize position ready for an unwitting heel/ child's hand to squid into it. OBVIOUSLY parks are there for everyone - parents, dog owners and all in-between. But if my two year old had whipped down his pants and laid a beast under their table while they were eating, (while I ignored him then left it)I suspect these women wouldn't have acted in quite the privileged, entitled way in which they responded to me today...please clean up after your dogs. It's not only an incredibly selfish, unsociable act, it also dangerous - and the conscious perpetrators are far too often those that have an air of social authority. Rant over.
