We just completed the annual rally in Indiana. The fair grounds is a great facility and the rally was well worth while. I want to say that we have 2 dogs that have traveled with us for the past 5 years. They have added joy to our travels and we have never failed to clean up after our dogs. During the rally several announcements were made that complaints had been made that some pet owners were not picking up after their pets. I observed that on arrival the fair grounds were very clean and attractive. On departure that had changed dramatically. It had become difficult to walk over the grounds without stepping in numerous piles of dog crap. I see this problem in all rv parks to some degree but never before to this extent. I am embarrassed to say this says horrible things about Montana owners or at least about Montana pet owners. The fact is, half or less of the dog owners at this rally cleaned up after their dogs. This can have only 1 result - we will all lose the privilege to travel with our pets. SHAME ON US!
