"Crouching Westie, Hidden Dignity"
Discussion
...Otherwise known as "The Headlights of Shame"
As the night's are drawing in, turns out our newly-adopted Westie is a little afraid of the dark local park, so wants to stop and poo on the verge of a reasonably busy road, but seemingly only when there are cars coming. As a responsible dog owner, I come prepared with poobags, but it feels a million times more degrading to be picking it up in the glare of someone's HIDs (probably bloody leased, grumble grumble)
I haven't owned or lived with a dog for nearly 20 years, and things are obviously different now. Our dogs had occasional chocolate (now poisonous, has it changed?) they had the milk from our cornflakes (no milk for dogs now, apparently?) and even a splash of tea now and then.
But, having had him a few weeks now, I wouldn't be without him! What a lovely (stubborn) addition to our family!

Do post pics! You are probably better to do the poop picking under the glare of headlights and you can't be accused of not picking up! 
Chocolate is definitely toxic, it hasn't changed but our awareness has. It depends on the concentration (or recipie) theobromine in the choc can cause seizures or heart failure. My builder's dog lovely died only last week after he got hold of the kids sweetie stash. They are utterly devastated.
