Woodstock Early Bird is pleased to announce that Village of Woodstock officials and Town Manager Phil Swanson have responded excellently to complaints from taxpayers about previous dog-doo pick-up bags.
These officials recently found less expensive , lighter-weight and less environmentally harmful baggies to help we dog walkers keep the place proper. We now have MUTT MITTS!
I know, it’s been quite an alliterative summer what with our new MUFFIN MONSTER and now MUTT MITTS. But, as any pooch walker will tell you who does the daily doo, the old bags were like hefty bags, helpful but hefty and obviously expensive. Plus voters were not happy at their cost.
Yes, it still is an investment to provide baggies and containers around the Village, but well worth it. I’m always waving my baggies around (pre-pick-up, of course). Love them. Maybe our visitors with dog companions will also take note.
The new “Pick-Up Mitts” are quite innovative in their design, as they have a pre-folded scoop area to assist with the “grab and flip” technique. Helpfully, each new dispenser placed around the village has internationally recognizable graphics to assist with their use.
So, let’s use them people. It’s well worth it. And thanks to our responsive Woodstock officials who are saving us some money and helping us to “look our best.” Woodstock Early Birds notice these things, don’t we!?

Village, not Town.
To all non-Village residents (who aren’t paying for these) – you’re welcome.

As a Village resident Woodstock Early Bird is happy to share — and pay for — “Mutt Mitts” with all visitors — whether they be from the Town of Woodstock or from Out of Town . The bottom line is that the “Mutt Mitts” are meant to help contribute to the improved health, safety and vitality of our community.
Despite the fact that I do not have kids, I don’t complain about having to pay education taxes or ask that people thank me for paying them. I understand that good schools and well-educated kids contribute to a better community, the community in which I live.
