How we deal with it is a measure of our character. Some people like to make issues into larger issues. MOST people are responsible. I say this after living here for almost seven years. I grow tired of the complaining about this subject.


Tired of it. VERY tired of it. I don't have a dog and I live on a corner lot. I like dogs a lot and I am somewhat proud of our lawn. I would much prefer to live where people have pets. It makes them happy. AND MOST dog owners are responsible to all of us. I say choose your fights. What is most important? Living in your neighborhood and having friends, or finding stuff to fight about????


And all this kvetching isn't going to change anybody's attitude, just aggravate them further. I choose dog people over non dog people seven days outa seven.
I like your "approach"-----I too will choose people over dog poop in my yard everytime.

OP, I also like the idea of greeting your neighbor and offering to pick up the poop because they are on a scooter----I bet you two will become good friends.

Yes, people are more important than a perfect yard IMHO.
