[pct-l] Hikers and their dogs

[Jo Pegrum Hazelett]

Carolyn--

This is very interesting--my border collie always heads off into the bushes
to do his thing also-- I thought it was because he was copying us! It always
annoys me to see poop on the trail and I worry that people meeting us on the
trail blame us!

I was a horse packer and still work with horse packers. There are berry bags
for goats, that we use but the horse people arent' required to use them so
don't.

The bigger the animal the bigger the pile, the longer it takes to dry and
disperse. If they would just remove it to the side of the trail and spread
it it would help a lot. But, too lazy.

My border collie is like a cat, has to go off trail and hide it. A wonderful
trait in a  dog.
