He then took the dogs back across the street.

I watched, waited and finished my coffee and the I went and picked up what his two dogs left behind and returned it to him. He was a bit surprised. He told me he always picked up after his dogs. Well he didn't this time so why should I think this time is different from any other?

Here's a question. Who ever said it was OK to use a neighbors yard as long as you pick up after the dog? Where did that come from? How did my yard get mixed up in what you do with your dog? Your house, Your dog, Your yard!!! Not mine!!

Please, if you want to walk a dog, let it use YOUR YARD and then go for a walk.

Thanks.

Wing-nut, I sing your praise, my sentiments EXACTLY!!!!! I would only add that our yard is now free of the pet parade because of new "NO PETS PLEASE" sign!
As previously posted, we had pets that left Peeee-mail after Peee-mail on SAME spot until grass turned brown!...Now the sign seems to work!
