I don't like walking along the street and seeing lots of piles of dog sh /*i*/ t laying on the ground. We have a problem in our town (Ussuriysk) with people not picking up after their dogs.
Ну что, дамы и господа. Настало время поговорить о собачниках, которые не убирают ка /*к*/ ашки за своими питомцами.

Начали потеть!🚴🏻
Основная лексика:
- Po /*o*/ p — ка /*к*/ ашка, по /*к*/ акать.
- Sh /**i/ t — дерь /*м*/ о.
- Pick up — поднимать / подбирать (в нашем контексте).
- A dog person / a dog lover — собачник.
Here are some examples with them in context:
📌 Some people don't pick up after their dogs. / Some people don't pick up their dog's po /*o*/ p.
📌 Our streets have a problem with dog sh /*i*/ t.
📌 Your puppy's just po /*o*/ ped right outside my front door.
📌 My uncle is not a dog lover.
На ход ноги держите полезную фразу.
Not to give a sh /*i*/ t — наплевательски относиться к кому-либо или к чему-либо.
For example:
📌 The mayor doesn't give a sh /*i*/ t about the people's wishes.
📌 I don't give a sh /*i*/ t what he thinks about me.
Кстати, русское слово «пуп» (пуп земли) очень по произношению похоже на «po /*o*/ p». Поэтому при общении с native speaker лучше его заменить на центр Вселенной.
For example:
📌 She thinks that she is the center of the Universe.
Спрашивал у своих знакомых американцев о том, как у них обстоят дела с тем, о чём статья.
Here are their answers about it:
Person A:
So it depends on where you are. In places like Atlanta, people mostly keep their dogs in special places like parks and some outdoor events, but in places like Portland, it's the opposite. Here, people will bring their dogs everywhere, including grocery stores, restaurants and libraries. I've been seeing more dogs in grocery stores in Atlanta, but that's because people from more dog friendly keep moving there.
In Portland, people don't pick up after their dogs, and will often think that dog sh /*i*/ t is actually sh /i/ t from homeless people. I think Portland is too dog friendly where people think everyone wants to be their dog's friend or they won't even have their dogs on leashes.
Person B:
It depends on the city and their laws, but generally people walk their dogs anywhere they wish.
Person C:
They walk their dogs everywhere as long as they are on a leash. Many stores also allow dogs. Most people are respectful and pick up after their dogs.
