It is sad that this lady with dementia is getting dosed with that property owners sprinkler for sure. Maybe it IS motion censored. But what would make the most common sense is for that lady to just stay away for that yard in the first place. A homeowner has a right to keep a clean lawn without any dog messes! This is the reason I don't have a dog: no fenced yard to run around in and I'm not comfortable having to pick up dog mess off someone else's lawn. When I have a visiting canine over, I walk the dog FIRST in my own yard so I can clean up quicker, then walk the dog through the neighborhood. If a person has dementia, then they might be able to actually get lost somewhere and the problem becomes bigger than the dog walking issue. Maybe some of the folks in the neighborhood can volunteer to accompany this lady when she walks the dog or volunteer to do some of it for her. <3 With all due respect: step up neighbors, don't just complain about the situation.
