This doesn't actually make sense :

• ensure adequate supply of food, care and exercise to animals that are situated away from the home if no other person is available;

Seems you are able to travel to take care of a pet - but not allowed - as it seems to stand - look after your own.

I'd be masking up - over the road - do the deed - come home.

This clause needs work.

America hit one death per minute, and a quarter million deaths in 10 months today. As long as Trump is still in charge, we will continue to die by the thousands. All for a maniac's ego.

But he woz robbed.

You'd think he'd want his future TV audience to stay alive. Not many ratings from dead people.

I notice California has less cases/deaths than Texas.

@david,

What about driving to your nearest shops, but parking just a doggie-walk's-distance from the actual shops?

Devious Countess - but would it work. 

Like twice - three times a day - doggies need to go.

Pretty stupid when you can take a dog to where there are people but you can't walk them where there are none.

Maybe within a hundred metres or another set distance would've been more reasonable.

Might need to keep him busy and entertained.

Hardly an option if the dog owner doesn't have the space. Especially for excretions.

i'm still taking leroy out into the lane next to my house for pees but he has never pooped there

so far today hes not pooped

and hes not distressed like he wants to

he has a set routine, we do the same walk every time and he poops in almost the same spot every time

luckily its quite near a public rubbish bin so i dont have to do the whole walk carrying a bag of poop

if he hasnt gone before i'll walk him after dark

I suppose I should've just said ways to keep him busy and entertained to keep it more generic as it had nothing to do with with a dog doing it's business.

He lives in a house in an estate so there would be some "space" available for the dog to do it's business but the dog is used to walking as it's part of his routine.

It says not taking the dog for a walk which is different from just taking the dog out nearby.
