Part of me applauds this scoop law sign, found in a town/neighborhood just southwest of Tacoma and sent in by alert reader Chandler — it’s uncluttered, it gets the point across, and it dodges the ever-vexing question of how to represent dog poop graphically (and yet not graphically, if you get my meaning):

The other part of me — the one I try to keep tied up in a sack — looks at that sign and sees a really gigantic ice cube going into a really gigantic cocktail glass. That’s the trouble with posting these photos on a Friday….

What a magnificent view the sign has, by the way:

I’m not sure which direction Chandler was facing when she took this photo — there are four different Puget Sound islands off Chambers Creek Park. The weather, alas, is entirely characteristic for this time of year.

Thanks to Chandler for this fine addition to Dog Jaunt’s scoop law sign collection! To see others, click on the “scoop law” tag below this post, or type “scoop law” in the search bone.
