I would like to thank the effort of Ms.Valerie Hiss about the doggie house (SMDP, July 31, page 1).
My family cannot stand the smell of animal debris along 17th Street between Olympic Boulevard and Michigan Avenue, above the 10 freeway.
Every morning when we walk on that sidewalk,we always see and smell a fresh bad odor of that animal debris. And every day you can always notice freshly-made animal debris.
An animal hospital or veterinary clinic is nearby, on the corner of 17th Street and Olympic Boulevard, and probably unaware of the situation.
We are just hoping that the city of Santa Monica cleans those sidewalks as soon as possible and also the veterinary clinic owner makes a necessary action to advise their clientele about this problem.
We really can no longer stand the smell of this animal debris in the sidewalk.
Thank you very much for your help.
