Other people don't live near you. And it sounds like such a fun, friendly street.

If that's the best he remembers, you apparently have made quite an impression.

I have walked in dog poop more times than I can count and am tired of it. I have cameras in the back of my house so I have video. I am curious if there is anything that can be done? They have the whole front of their house and they could take the dog out to the front of their house but they don't. It is not just the dog who is in my yard they come in my yard as well when they let the dog out. BTW their property is not in deed compliance but I have never filed a complaint because I have always gotten along well with my neighbors but my patience is wearing thin. Any thoughts?

Let us know how you solve the problem

Not likely. OP hasn't been back since the day of the first post. But it got the usual negative natives stirred up, which may have been the intent.

And we were having such a good time and really making a real difference. 😏

I recall a hot headed woman coming out and admonishing me the I had not picked up my dog's poop. I did not as he ate it first. He was out on the street before being picked up by a dog catcher in a Crystal River neighborhood for an unknown amount of time but had been very thin when Max's Pet Connection got him from a kill shelter and had him available to adopt during a Pet Adoption event.

Some pooches recycle. Gross but **it happens.

And then they lick your face! Ah, how sweet! 😟😟😟

Who cares? If the poop being picked up isn't bothering you, and you seem to acknowledge the other animals do the same without having it removed, why cause yourself heartburn? It is not harming your yard despite what some few people seem to think. The end of our street has a light pole. Every dog without fail whizzes on the thing. Guess what? The grass is greener and stronger than most of the yards. People need to get over themselves.

If I may directly address another poster... you have been the voice of reason throughout.

Actually my dog does not do that.

And often I can get to the poop before he eats it and scoop it up and put it in a bag.

Cannot do that at the dog park as he runs way ahead. A CT or somewhere up there in New England Villager retiree who worked as a supply manager for a number of vet offices had suggested I sprinkle Adolf's Meat Tenderizer on his food. This contains some kind of chemicals which make the poop unappetizing to the dog who dropped it. And other dogs I suppose. It worked well. But it only works for some pooches.

While I am a former dog owner and I like dogs very much, I do understand that they are dogs and dogs are not noted for being sanitary. My last dog was a massive St Bernard. Lots of fur and gallons of drool. He was great!

But, sometimes, EWww!

For anyone who even remotely considered the BB gun advice from yesterday:

Man allegedly points BB gun at neighbor for allowing workers on his lawn

Yes, I know the advice was to shoot at the dog and not point the gun at the owner but do you really want to take the chance that the "he said / she said" will go your way?

IT. IS. MY. PROPERTY

A dog owner does not get to let their creature use my lawn as a toilet.
Is it OK if you decide to have a picnic on my lawn? By your logic, if you clean up after yourself, then the answer is yes. Use my pool? Sure.
Im guessing you are part of the problem...letting poopsie poop with impunity.

A few years ago, before I started paying for my lawn treatment, I was spraying my lawn to kill weeds in preparation to fertilizing. My neighbor (dog owner) asked me if I would come over and notify her when I treated my lawn so that her dog would not be injured when using my lawn. I was too stunned to answer, but later put a sign in my yard with a skull and crossbones which said "Toxic Waste." Later, she stopped by when I was in the yard and pointed at the sign and said "I don't get it." EXACTLY!! Some folks just don't get it.

Ground beef rolled up with exlax and some pepper flakes inside.

Toss on lawn, just before neighbor lets the flea infested mongrel out to yoir lawn.

Sometime during the day…neighbor will not be fast enough to let said mongrel out in time.
