Opinion
Dear Westie – July 2024
Several times a week, someone let’s their dog drop a deuce on the nature strip outside my house. I never see them, nor do I see the doo doo, until I step in it – and I always step in it! My shoes are ruined, I get doo doo on my rug. I’m at the end of my tether! How do I get these people to scoop their poop?

Thank you Mr McGann!
Years ago, while still seduced by the empty promises of self-help books, wedged somewhere between trying to identify the 'toxic people' in my life and learning to 'fully maximise my potential', I read about the therapeutic value of writing thank you letters. Being pig-headed and slightly arrogant as I was (probably why I was given that particular book in the first place), I couldn't immediately think of anyone to thank; after all, I was a self-made man who’d done it all on his own, and worked super-hard, right?
