Kitty, I was told this by a neighbor in "The Responsible Dog Owners" club. They told me the front of my lawn is NOT mine and they can walk and toilet their dogs there. I have let it go, because my sign that asks them "please keep dogs off grass" seems to be working. If and when it becomes an issue, I'll certainly revisit this. For now, they seem to be respectful of our wishes, and I appreciate their consideration.
