Reply #10: Semi-funny story.

[HuckleB]

I always carry two "doggie bags" to clean up after my dog, when we walk or run. And I have given my share of lectures to bad owners who fail to partake in the same courtesy. Still...

After walking out my front door with my dog the other day, she decided that she had to go immediately in our front yard. This is not typical for her, but I wasn't about to interrupt nature. Since it was my yard, I chose to keep the bags in case something more sinister was afoot -- or behind, as the case may be. Anyway, as she finished, we attempted to begin walking when I was accosted by a stranger and given the riot act for leaving the poop for someone else to clean up. The guy didn't want to hear that it was my yard. In fact, I had to go back, open my front door, and turn off the alarm, before he would leave me alone.

It's funny now.
