Pet Poo in Ol Virginny
We had a similar issue with a neighbor's dog. The large dog's early morning routine as it ran unleashed, included depositing a huge pile of poo on our front steps. Despite our polite request to the dog's owner, to "please keep your dog on a leash" with explanation of WHY, the dog became used to his early morning deposit. OUR dog was safely doing her thing in a 9ft long cement, roofed, fenced, do run which we kept clean. We patiently stored a week's worth of both dog's deposits in a large plastic contractor bag. Now this was during high summer in ol Virginny's hot and humid weather. By the end of the week, the bag was positively heaving (literally). Under cover of darkness, and with his nose plugged with Vick's
 , my Ninja husband unloaded the quagmire on the neighbor's front yard. No further exchange was necessary, and the neighbors' dog was leashed from then on......

I like dogs...but that being said people should be responsible pet-owners. When we lived "up north" our house was on a busy street which also meant alot of people walking their dogs. We used to get their droppings quite often in our yard. One time I even caught a guy letting his dog pee on the flowers. I got a "dirty" look when I told him we didn't appreciate that. (probably lucky that was ALL I got). Another time I was chatting with a neighbor down the street. I would see her out walking the dog in ALL kinds of inclement weather several times a day and said something like, "You really are tenacious about your exercise!" She said, "oh, it's not that, Bowser won't go to the bathroom in our yard so we HAVE to walk him!" So---for them it was o.k. their animal pottied in everyone else's yards!!!!!
If it bothers you...I'd do what others said here. IF you do talk to them tell them that T.V. has a pretty strict policy re: pets and you wanted to let them know before the Neighborhood watch did, to save them face. I wouldn't do it in a confrontative way because they just might not realize what's happening. If it continues THEN go the next step of calling T.V. |

We had an Invisible Fence installed in our home in Mass so our dog wouldn't go in our neighbors yard. Personally, I would never walk my dog for the purpose of letting them relieve themselves on someone else's property. Even worse, when someone walk's the dog in another neighborhood for that purpose. Since the neighborhoods are pretty large in TV, I'm sure several trips around the block will work. That way your own neighbors will get to meet your dog and I get to meet my neighbors dog. I might be way off on this, but, they probably walk their dogs in other neighborhoods so they don't anger their own neighbors. When we were down for a couple of weeks in October, as I was leaving the house early one morning, I saw someone letting the dog go on my driveway and finish up on the lawn. He picked it up, so I bit my tongue. A couple of days later, while I'm on the lanai with a morning coffee, here comes the same dog. The owner has a retractable leash and lets the dog onto my neighbor's yard to urinate on their newly planted palm and shrub beds. In my mind, there is no reasonable excuse for this. I'm not saying that there shouldn't be dogs in TV because I love dogs too, (see my avatar, his name is Murphy) but my dog is for my enjoyment, and I will not have him impose on someone else's enjoyment. Sorry for the rant.

Years ago, I remember that funny stint Steve Martin did on SNL. He was dressed up as a Roman General in his tent at night,(the men didnt like him to well), anyway in the middle of the night someone brings over a bag of some dog or horse....and lights it, then before running away bangs on the tent cover or whatever to get the Generals attention, when Steve Martin ran to the flap of the tent and saw this small fire, he naturally started stepping on it to put it out, very funny.
Hmmm, wonder if that old trick would work in this case?
