The is morning while walking with a friend at Legacy Lane and Belle Meade, I saw a woman with an unleashed dog. The dog waddled into the front yard of a home at that intersection. The dog wandered all the way up and into the shrubs and bushes directly against the house. The woman walked up into the yard and stood right by the bushes (two feet from the home's front window, 20 feet from the street) and watched as her dog crapped in the bushes. The only thing to her credit was that she had a plastic bag and she bent over into the bushes and rooted around to find the stuff and put it in her bag.
My friend pleaded with me not to say anything, so out of respect to him, I didn't. She is soooooooo lucky that I was not alone. What would you have done? |

"...defensive if you start talking about the laws and such?" And that's a problem? Speeders, rapists, murderers, and girls of ill repute get "defensive" when they get called on their anti-social actions. Tresspass is another anti-social behavior - especially next to someone's window 3 feet from the house. What a ploy a "Peeping Tom" could use: Bring the dog. "Oh, I was just walking my dog." Ahh huh.
I know what my wife would do, and it is pretty much what TalkHost was thinking but didn't yet say. And I agree with her!

She must be a visiting guest at a residents home. I can't imagine a actual resident doing this. Jan, I complement your restraint.

Would not want the TV to turn into some place like New York City or various other locales where neighbors get into lawsuits and/or fistfights about something as petty as poop on someone else's property. |

I understand the difference between the seriousness of various forms of anti-social behavior - of course they are not all the same. :

Let me get this straight??????
People take their dog out to the neighbors yards and front lawns to do their duty,then walk the dog and go back home.(some nerve) Why not let the dog do his duty on their own lawn,then take the dog for a walk. I find it very annoying when I see people letting their dogs poop all over the place,especially at the Piedmont post office on Belle Meade. Also this is for the few that walk their dogs with their plastic bags in there pocket,then if nobody is looking they do not pick up the poop. Who are you kidding we are watching you. |

Yes, it requires a fair amount of tact and courage in approaching someone doing something clearly inappropriate so as to get the best result in a polite and inoffensive manner. *While any comment or manner of delivering it might be offensive to some people, the possibility of their taking offense or being defensive should not deter us from bringing inappropriate behaviors to their attention.
