Stepping in dog poo is not what Chandra Bjornsen and her son Leif, 8, like to do at Lookout Lake.

They often bring their dog Nelson there because itB次元官网网址檚 a short walk from their Colwood home and she brings her own bags to collect her black labB次元官网网址檚 deposits, but often wishes she had more to pick up feces of other dogs.

When she doesnB次元官网网址檛 have extra bags, Bjornsen relies on moving the poo with a stick.

B次元官网网址淚 have been here in the past when I forgot bags, it happens,B次元官网网址� Bjornsen said. B次元官网网址淪ometimes dogs run ahead and go and you donB次元官网网址檛 notice.B次元官网网址�

One winter the mother and son were rolling snowballs into snowmen at the park only to find the not so nice treat in the snow. In the summer the feces B次元官网网址渋s camouflagedB次元官网网址� in the wood chips and sandy sections of the park.

With land mines in mind, Bjornsen sent a letter asking Colwood council for a bag dispenser in the park for dog owners to use.

B次元官网网址淲e approved for it to be investigated further,B次元官网网址� said Mayor Carol Hamilton.

Colwood does have dispensers in some parks, Hamilton said, and at times will stock them only to have the bags run out quickly.

B次元官网网址淧eople will grab a whole handful and by day two they are all gone,B次元官网网址� the mayor said. B次元官网网址淐ost is a factor.B次元官网网址�

Hamilton suggested the city may be interested in finding volunteers to monitor and stock a dispenser at Lookout Lake.
