I'm sure you can appreciate all the effort that all the homeowners put into our yards and gardens also...Please be considerate....When your dog pees in the yard, diluted or not, it invites every dog in the neighborhood to add their markings to the SAME spot, which then produces BROWN spots....Please, please help us homeowners keep our yards green....I feel for the homeowners that don't have pets, they must be outraged that a pet owner would leave their GREEN yard and cross over to a neighbors yard and urinate....I've heard comments from dog-owners with small dogs that say "Well, Foofoo, is so small, she could not damage anyone's yard", it is not one dogs markings but every other dog.....Bottom line, let your dog, pee and poo in YOUR yard, problem solved!

Always enjoy the smell around the post office in late July.............
