I asked him what he did with the waste – his comment “I threw it behind the bushes (pointing to the bushes by the gate sign) because there is no waste container for him to dump it in”. I told him it was a terrible thing to do but my comments did not seem to faze either he or his wife.
Are we to ruin our beautiful landscaping because a bad dog owner is too lazy to carry his dog’s waste home to his own trash???
I doubt it's laziness and more like he doesn't want the horrendous STENCH in the garbage can/bag in his own garage.

People who want to raise livestock the size of shetland ponies need to buy a farm or ranchette, not a house on a postage-stamp sized lot in a giant country-club!
