   Do you poop in every toilet you come across?

   Then don’t tell our dogs where to poop– they do their best, and a lot of us clean up. Also, it rains. Rain washes the streets off all the time.

   Maybe you should watch where you walk, kitty fan. Unless your eyes are buried in some gadget.

   i love dogs and love to see them being walked all around Hoboken. Its great. But would it be SO terrible to curb your dog off the sidewwalk right on the edge of the street? that way there isn’t disgusting dog pooh smears all over the sidewalks and the sweepers would clean up the residual on the street. That really wouldn’t put out owners or their doggies and everyone would be happy.

   Mooshu,

   Your argument makes no sense.

   Toricat was doing the equivalent of asking those who own dogs to have them take a dump IN the toilet as opposed to on the living room floor.

   Dude,

   If you can’t take a sh*t on command, then don’t go instructing dogs to do it.

   Bad enough the barely have space to take a dump.

   Toricat is one of those annoying cat people who should clean the litterbox.

   Thanks!

   I am not instructing dogs to do anything. I would be instructing their owners to have some common courtesy and train their dogs.

   You’re saying that a dog cannot be trained to take a dump in one location rather than another?

   In any event, why does it seem that every other dog in Hoboken has diarrhea?

   The sidewalks are covered with it, as toricat points out.

   There are many rants on this site about moms and strollers, but many dog owners in town are equally annoying.

   You’re welcome!

   As a fellow dog owner I have to disagree with Mooshu. Curbing your dog is not only a good idea – it’s the law. You very much can train your dog to only poop on the street and not the sidewalk. I did, and that’s the only place he goes. When he needs to do the deed during a walk, he leads me to the street in between cars.

   You accomplish this task during housebreaking, and anyone can do it. If you can successfully teach your dog to not poop in your house, you have the skills to teach it to not poop in the middle of a sidewalk as well. When you teach the dog to only relieve itself outside, you simply take the time to also train the dog where outside it should go.

   Mooshu and fellow owners like him or her with the “don’t tell my dog what to do – it does its best” attitude is why our sidewalks are a mess. As humans, telling a dog what to do is exactly what we are supposed to be doing. And if your dog is pooping in the middle of well-traveled sidewalks – it’s not doing its best. If you can’t take the time to train your dog properly for urban living, then pay a pro to do it.

   Dear Success Story Craig,

   Why don’t you go and train drivers to drive like they’re supposed to, and maybe all of us dog owners wouldn’t have such a problem having our dogs go on the streets.

   My dog goes as close to the curb as possible, in a little patch of dirt, by a tree, etc. My dog will continue to do just that because my dog, unlike your perfect dog, is not a success story or whatever. But we clean up after ourselves.

   We never leave a mess.

   If you don’t like it, move. (It’s the equivalent of saying ‘then pay a pro to do it’.)

   Idiot.

   Thanks,
   mooshu

   2012 presidential debates,.. Is this not a big deal? There are SO many young people in Hoboken,.. and TONS of bars with TONS of TV’s,.. I’m shocked that these places don’t advertise to watch the debate. I understand there are 2 important ball games scheduled this evening as well but seriously,.. how about designating “the upstairs lounge area” or “the back room” (for those businesses that can allot the space) to running the 2012 presidential debates. WAKE UP HOBOKEN! Bravo to marty o’s and hoboken bar and grill for promoting such events but again,. i’m basically appalled at the lack of interest from local venues to promoting these events. For those who give a shit, here are a few venues in the surrounding area that are PROUDLY hosting this event and putting baseball on the back burner for a change.

   Here are some of the watch parties in the area for tonight’s debate. While the debate begins at 9:00 p.m., the festivities start much earlier.

   Mayor Healy’s Watch Party: 8:30 p.m., Brightside Tavern, 141 Bright St., Jersey City

   Fulop’s Jersey City Westside Watch Party: 8:30 p.m., the Park Tavern, 575 West Side Ave., Jersey City

   Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer’s Watch Party: 8 p.m., Marty O’Brien’s, 94 Bloomfield St., Hoboken

   Jersey City Education Association GOTV: 6:30 p.m., JCEA Headquarters, 1600 Kennedy Blvd., Jersey City

   Drinking Liberally Watch Party: 7 p.m., Hoboken Bar & Grill, 230 Washington St., Hoboken

   Bayonne for Obama Watch Party: 8 p.m., 23 Maritime Way, Bayonne

   Obama Watch Party: 8 p.m., Nostalgia Cafe, 409 Martin Luther King Drive, Jersey City

   The Hoboken street cleaner just went down 2nd. Can anybody tell me why they street sweep when they know it’s going to be such a shitty day out? What really is the point except for the degenerate driving is on the clock, and Dawn’s trying to haggle a few extra parking tickets???? Way to make it clean before the rain, and snow hit Dawn….you big ZERO!!
