When we moved to our condo, we had to learn how to pick up after our dog. Needless to say, I thought it was disgusting to pick up poop with a plastic bag by hand. LOL

I had to get accustomed to it.

Don't try it without the plastic bag, or you'll find out what disgusting really is.

You would think that there would be more complaints about what dogs do with their hind legs after peeing or pooping. This can and sometimes does rip up the yards. http://www.mycorgi.com/forum/topics/...7Comment639805


From link above--

"Not sure what to call this, but after every poop (and sometimes pee), my corgi mix kicks back her feet (like a dance) in an attempt to cover up her poop (like a cat). I try to discourage this behavior because now that it is spring time and the ground is soft, she is tearing up our lawn and our neighbor's lawns. Is this a corgi characteristic and has anyone been successful in getting their dog to stop doing it?
Thanks!"

I have sometimes gotten a shirt full of poop after trying to find the poo in the dark to pick up while my dog does his little after poo dance.

First of all, your neighbor doesn't give a rats butt if their dog doo-doo's in your back yard, they know what the dog is doing by the minute. What you have to do is collect lots of dog doo-doo and place the big pile in their front step. You shall never ever have a problem again. It works! Guaranteed.

I was thinking of dumping our cat litter.

I'm reluctant to make a huge deal about this, e.g., call The Villages, but it is starting to annoy me. Any thoughts on how this should be handled? Thanks.

This works and stops the dogs from coming in your yard, they remember well, Go to the flea MKT and get a big bottle of hot pepper flakes, Grind them up in your food processor to a fine power, (Do this in your garage because the dust will really make you sneeze) Sprinkle it along your property line, When the dog starts to walk in your yard it will sniff the pepper and believe me it will leave, Iv' e tried it and it works, Every time the dog walks by your house it will cross the street

I don't know what it is, but every time you make a comment I just want to roll with laughter. I love your sarcasm!!!!!!

Who are you? That is sick....

One of my friends was bothered by a neighbor who allowed his dog to visit all over the neighborhood.

So . . . one day my buddy, I'll call him Jack, picked up the dropping, put it in a plastic bag, called the big friendly dog over and carefully tied it around his neck.

The big friendly dog never came back.

If you had a dog, mans best friend, why would you cut his nuts off and let him run loose to get dog napped, shot with BB gun, poisoned, eaten by an alligator, hit by a car or arrested by animal control? People that do that are too stupid to care for a dog.

I had to say it.

Well said Shadow. Stupid indeed.

I agree with The Shadow. Letting a dog or cat loose is suicide. The snakes, gators, hawks and other criters are dangerous. KEEP YOUR ANIMAL INSIDE OR AT LEAT ON A LEACH!!!

I have rarely if ever seen a dog wandering around the neighborhood in the Villages unless it somehow escaped from its owner's house.

The worst thing I ever saw was a friend's puppy walking home with an arrow sticking horizontally from chest to tail because some evil neighbor did not like it coming on his or her lawn/yard.

This was in a rural area of Reno, Nevada almost 35 years ago and probably also had some to do with a neighborhood fued.

Lawn and yardcare though really should take a second or even third seat to the welfare of dogs and cats as well as to the relations between neighbors.

Thankfully where I am in the Villages the neighbors look out for one another as well as care for each other's pets.

I not suggesting anyone do this but.............

I had a neighbor years ago, he let his dog loose on garbage day and it would knock over the cans and make a mess on my driveway. I spoke to him about it twice and he pretty much ignored me.

Next garbage day I left a hot dog on the pail which had two ex-lax in it. Never hurt the dog but the mess had to be grand. Dog was never let out off the least again.

No Animals were injured during the posting of this message.

Very positive way of handling the situation

[beartrack]

Please, I am not suggesting that anyone do this but, this discussion reminded me of Halloween back in Brooklyn NY, when I was one of a group of evil little kids. Now everyone back then, always had at least one grouch living on his block that would chase us away if we were playing in the street in front of his house. You know, games like stickball, punchball, ringalevio (spelling?) Johnny on the Pony or whatever. Soooo on Halloween, we would go out and find some dog poo, put it a paper bag, twist the top shut. Then we would sneak up in the dark and put it on old grouchy's front stoop. Then we would light it on fire and ring his/her door bell and run away to watch the fun when the grouch came out and stomped out the fire. HEH, HEH, Heh.

Don't Ya sometime's just feel like bein' a kid again ???????
