Filthy dog owners

I agree, we have just been on our usual ski trip to Megeve and the dogs poop everywhere. Plus, a dog stood on the bench i was sitting on in a Creparie restaurant when my pancake came and the owner made no attempt to pull the dog off. . .so i gently pushed the dog away. . . A dog in a restaurant ????? . . ..Begging, , ,dam cheek !

Awww maaaan :(

Everyone is saying that it's common. F has just slipped back down my list now. I don't wanna get pooped on when I'm skiing :cry: As for begging - it annoys me enough when my parents dogs try it. In public to complete strangers... :evil:

My experience of dog poo in France is mainly in the south, have not come across any poo in the Alps,
what you have to remember it was Megeve :wink:

I saw a lot of dog owners taking their dogs for a sh1t on the ski slope at Place Caron in Val Thorens. There were small children sledging and playing in the snow in this area, which runs through the centre of the resort. Other highlights of my stay were the sight of condoms left to dry on balconies, and piles of human excrement and vomit outside the doors to apartment blocks. This was in 2005, perhaps the resort attracts a better class of tourist these days, you have to hope so.

:cry: Thanks Bandit I haven't had breakfast yet :cry:

This sounds like a typical Geordie night out! Recently I saw so much vomit int the town, but diarrhoa cascading down the steps really turned my stomach. I must be getting old!

On the plus side the pistes in Austria have always been clean and very rarely do I see any dogs on them. I totally agree that the dogs should not be allowed up there from both a hygiene and safety point of view. It would put me off any resort if dogs were a problem.

At least during the season, the cr*p will freeze and be buried under new snowfalls. However, I have often wondered what the slopes around the villages must be like when the snow melts and all the detritus is left behind - it doesn't really bear thinking about it too long!!!
