lA WOMAN has suggested that dog owners should carry a plank with them for their pets to wee on -- because their urine is killing trees.

For goodness sake what next?

What are owners supposed to do run after their pet and slip the wood in place as the dog cocks its leg?

Why not go the whole hog, and along with a poop scoop, bag and lead carry either a plank for a dog or an old fashioned bed pan to slide under a bitch as she crouches?

What a silly suggestion.

Trees live through hurricanes, frost and acid rain, I'm sure they can cope with what comes naturally.
