This guy in my neighborhood is tired of dogs pooping on his lawn...

1. I did the same. Sorry, but it "don't" work unless you stand guard at

the window 24/7 to see whose dog it is.

2. The damned dogs can't read!

Needs to invest in a fence it works!

5. DOGGIE POOP WEBCAM!

::insert annoying pop-up here::

3. One of my neighbor's did the same.

TWO SIGNS!
It made me really really want to go around the block collecting poops and leave them at the base of his signs.
:evilgrin:

4. They have the right idea in B.C.

6. now that's funny

31. Goddess, but I love Canadians!

They have their priorities straight!

I *always* bag my dog's poop. I still have a pair of neighbors who get bent out of shape whenever my poor dog gets within a block of their house. They came out and screamed at me because Smudge urinated in front of their house (mind you, this was in the middle of the street, NOT on their front lawn).

"Clean that up!"

Duh, what was I expected to do? Carry around a roll of paper towels to mop up dog-piddle in the gutter? It's not onerous enough that I pack a roll of baggies whenever she and I go for a stroll?

Their cats regularly use my back yard as a litter box.

[luckyluke]

7. That's nothing...

...one of my neighbors has a sign saying:

'Here he lies
Cold and hard
The last damn dog
That pooped in our yard!'

It's all talk though, they are actually really sweet people and love dogs.

8. Random poop trivia

Assuming the dog is very active (20 miles or more a week), and on a good active diet (26 percent protein, 10 percent fat, 30 percent carbs), dog poop is (da-da-dum) good for pine trees.

I knew of a musher who had her dog yard scooped for free twice a month by a guy who owned a Christmas tree farm!

Ain't that a corker.

9. There's a guy in my neighborhood who takes the trouble to put the dog do

in a platic bag. And then leaves the bag on the street. Why not just put it in a trash can, moron?

[hlthe2b]

13. Most of the blocks around my house have poop bag dispensers

and there is some stupid, moronic, small dog owner who puts his dog's poop bag in these dispensers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God, I'd dearly LOVE to catch him/her! Yuck.... try reaching in for a baggie and finding one full of poop!

[HuckleB]

10. Semi-funny story.

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.

[hlthe2b]

11. thus the old adage... "Good fences make Good neighbors..."

Perhaps this guy should take that to heart...

28. you are not allowed to fence your front yard!!!

This is a free country, did you really think the man has the right to fence his own damn yard? Ha ha ha ha. No, seriously, most homeowner's and neighborhood associations I'm aware of do NOT allow you to fence your front yard which is, after all, where the dogs are shitting. (It is not "poop," and it is not cute. It is shit. Sorry, mods, but I feel accuracy is more important than polite language when we are discussing excreta.)

Believe you me, I would have a fence around my entire yard if only it was permitted. And I would still have to razor wire it to keep out the cats, whose feces can contaminate my garden with toxo.

People need to contain their own animals or have them confiscated. I'm serious. If it was just a matter of not being able to walk on my own front lawn without encountering shit, maybe it would be OK, but these domestic animals also harass and threaten my native wild plants and the native wild birds and butterflies that use them. It seems the wild is not allowed to have sanctuary anywhere.

[HuckleB]

12. And what about CATS!?

Why do they get a free ride? I clean up after their messes in my yard every week, and there's no way for me to figure out who their owners are...

[DinahMoeHum]

25. Really, cats? Most cats I've seen bury their crap. This is unusual.

n/t

:evilfrown:

[HuckleB]

26. Hardly unusual.

This problem has been talked about by folks my entire adult life. Anyway, if they're digging holes in my yard, I'm not going to be any happier.

[JVS]

14. That is why I like to get Chem-lawn treatment and leave up the little sign

In fact, I'd pay to have my yard sprayed with chemicals just to poison dogs that come onto my lawn.

[luckyluke]

15. What a nice person you are! (nt)

[JVS]

16. Thank you, I try my best.

[Robb]

18. I think I've got a bead on JVS

JVS and my father-in-law would get along. Same sense of humor. ;)

[luckyluke]

19. Well, so long as it's only humor

My dog is on a leash, but he routinely walks off the sidewalk to lick dew off grass, don't know why, maybe it tastes better than the water in his water dish.

He has *never* pooped in someone else's yard, and if he ever did I would most certainly pick it up.

17. smear it on their windows

eom

[Paragon]

20. That's a great sign...

FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!

[scarlet_owl]

21. What about disgusting little kids?

The people who live behind my Dad's house have a little boy who never wears any clothes. He is about five, and his parents let him roam the neighborhood, unsupervised. He shits and pisses on other people's lawns. He even went into another neighbor's car and peed. They have two smaller children, and I'm sure the neighborhood folks just can't wait until they grow up. These are the same people who said to my father, "yeah, we have two guns in the house, but we don't know where they are". Classy, classy folks.

[JVS]

22. Reminds me of 'Garfunkle' a kid who ran around in a diaper till he was 5

The parents had given up on potty training and said he'd figure it out himself when it is time.

[Ellen Forradalom]

24. Oh....my......god

wow. THAT is the nadir.

[tridim]

23. I had a neighbor accuse my dog of pooping

on his lawn. I live in a townhouse complex where the back yard is shared by about 15 houses. As I walked by he said, "Don't let your dog poop in my yard any more". I told him my dog poops only in my part of the "yard" and if she has an accident, I immediately pick it up. He then pointed out pile of poop that obviously came from a dog about 5 times the size of my little Boston Terrier. I tried to be nice, but ended up having to educate him on the fact that the tiny sphincter on my dog is physically incapable of making 1" diameter poops. He didn't believe me even though his neighbor has two large dogs who are prime suspects. Later, he sprinkled moth balls all over his lawn, presumably to keep the dogs away.

27. To each his own….I guess...

But personally, I think I could put up with the occasional ka ka vs. that downright unaesthetic sign on my front lawn….that just looks a little too trailer-park if you ask me.

I don’t have a dog problem…. Or more accurately, a dog-owner problem…..but I swear, there must be a new breed of city cats that have no idea what dirt is for. I’ve found cat ka ka on the roof of my shed, on top of the hedge next to the shed, on the fence railing, on top of the bark chips I have around certain plants….everywhere except the friggin’ dirt…strange breed.

[Robb]

29. Our neighborhood cats

...have found a fine place to poop in my yard. Behind a bush, next to the house, right underneath where the sat dish is bolted on. Not really a big deal, until I went around to knock snow off the dish, and found a surprise. :)

But I figure my front yard is fair game. Heck, deer and elk wander through town doing more damage than all the dogs and cats could ever manage. I've had to scoop elk poop before, which I have to admit I found kind of amusing.

[Clete]

30. Fence your yard, it's the only way.

Then keep the gate shut. I also have been known to deliver shovel fulls of doogie doodoo back to the owners with a big smile on my face saying that his dog left something behind when he was visiting and I am sure he would want it back.

Worse than that is dog piss. I have had many a five dollar shrub killed by dog piss, so fencing has been the only solution.
