To the Editor:

This is officially off-season. We can’t blame visitors for it. Can you please pick up after your dogs?

I have a dog. A big dog. A poop bag is tied to his leash at all times. Walking to the Patriot boat this week, there were — count them 20 — piles of poop between Nancy’s and the Island Queen. On the dock. It’s really embarrassing for those of us who do give a crap. Pick it up.
