has been awhile since a dog poop thread has been on here, but here it goes again.
thank you dear neighbor for allowing your dog to use my driveway to poop on. it is bad enough when i find the droppings on my lawn, but really...in the middle of my driveway. what part of "gee, i did not see him/her do their business" do you think i could believe?
please, take your dog home and let him crap all over your own yard.
really!

Frankly, I can't get my dog to understand that he must use his own yard. But I do pick up after him religiously, and when I move to TV, I will continue to do so.

Hmmmmmm means they don't want you to pick it up off their property, they don't want it there in the first place for you to have to do so.

Are you sure it's a dog? Have you actually seen it happen? In the last week I have found two poops in our yard that were definitely not golden retriever size. I suspected a cat, since they were in the side yard. Sure enough, yesterday we saw the cat running through our backyard.

Conundrum.

Disrespectful dog owners give us all a bad name.
However I don't think that posting a thread on TOTV is the best way to tell your neighbor that you're upset.
Why don't you talk to your neighbor directly, or at least write him a note?

Who's pooping on the driveway? Not saying that this is the culprit, but it may be.

That link is interesting, especially the pictures. Yuk!
Travelguy said it was a neighbor's dog so presumably he saw them in action.
Unless the neighbor has a pet toad. Hmmmmmm.

Dogs are permitted in The Villages.
Residents should understand that when pet owners take their dog for a walk, "things" happen.
If a dog owner picks up after their dog, that's what you expect and I'm afraid that's all you can ask.
Regardless of what you think, they are doing the right thing.

Let's not get too territorial about grass that isn't harmed in the least.

I read travelguys post as that he was assuming it was a neighbor's dog, not that he had seen his neighbors dog doing it. Yes, it's unlikely that it was a toad, however, I've recently seen a mystery driveway pooper been identified as a toad...right here in TV! Not kidding.

I don't quite understand why people get so upset if a dog walks on their grass. Workman of one sort or another, service people and particularly landscape people actually do some visible damage, but dogs don't.

How come no one complains about what these people do, but if one 5 lb. chihuahua is on their grass, they go bonkers!

Well, no one really knows. It really is a mystery, but . . .

Perhaps it actually was a neighbor??!?

People have a right to determine what takes place on their property. It is their property. You don't get to decide what takes place on their property. Period. Attitudes like yours are what make responsible dog owners worry. We, the responsible dog owners, who don't allow our dogs to trespass on private property, have to deal with the fall out of those that do.
