We are not dog haters and have recently lost our dog.
Why can't folks have the dog poop on their own lawn and then go for walk.
We had a poop place in our backyard for our dog to poop.
I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on this.
Eleven pages into this thread so far, and the battle rages on. Good fun, eh?
Most folks, it seems, don't really walk their dogs. They take them out for a "toilet break". Once the dog has done it's business, they head home. Many even drive the dog to the pools or mail boxes for their toilet break. Why walk when you can ride? For some reason though, dogs don't seem to come out when it rains. My dogs didn't seem to care if it was raining when they had to go.
As you can see, folks will go to great lengths to try and justify using your yard. Yes, your yard, not public property, not theirs. Yours. Lots of misinformation, obfuscation and even, perhaps, a few outright lies, all to make you think they can do as they please in your yard. In much, if not most of TV, fixtures like street signs, fire hydrants and lamp posts are located in someone's yard. Only authorized maintenance and repair people are allowed to access those. Yet people direct their dogs to those regularly. They are trespassing when they do that.
Don't expect them to change their rude and self-serving behavior. But at least we can let them know we disapprove and ask them to, say it with me good people, Keep Off the Lawn. 😄😃😁😀☺
