I don't think this thread is meant to upset anyone. I think it's just a reminder for all pet owners to act responsibly. It is aggravating for a pet to poop on your lawn, especially if it isn't your pet. If I could share a story.....where I lived, I had a 6 car driveway. I only own 2 cars so there was lots of extra room. Our neighbor kids, bless their hearts, found our driveway to be a play ground. They would ride their bikes in our driveway even though we asked them not to. I bought a brand new Toyota 4 runner, and one day I looked out my window and what did I see??? The kids riding their bikes around my new vehicle. The kids were only 6 years old. I went out to ask them not to ride in my driveway and looked around my car to make sure it was ok. To my dismay, I found an 8 inch scratch from a bike handle down the side of the driver's door. We were friendly with our neighbors and didn't want to rock the neighborly boat, so we sucked it up and paid for the door to get fixed....$1,000 later. So, there's a reason people don't want their space to be infringed upon. Thankfully, most people are pretty responsible with their pets.
