| pour bacon grease on dog shit. Dog shit disappears. |
What- like it disintegrates, or the dogs (and rats) eat it? |
| one scoop oxygen bleach mixed with water in a spray bottle cleans almost any stain from an organic source- ie dog sh!t. |
OP has every right to not want dogs all up in her personal space. That is totally fair. Dog people need to realize that not everyone thinks it is cute. If you want a dog, be a good citizen and clean up after it and train it so that it can be controlled. Your dog should not be everyone else's headache because you're too lazy to scoop the poop. If OP let her kid poop on your front porch, I bet most people would have a problem with OP. |
| Ugh, speaking of pieces of sh*t, dog owners in general win as the biggest sh*ts in the world. I am 100% with you, OP. |
| i let my dog poop in the grass that way no one will walk in the grass and destroy it. |

Someone needs to invent some kind of doggy diaper that can cover the dog's feces-encrusted anus so it doesn't press down on every surface it sits on. This situation alone causes me revulsion when I am around dogs or in a dog-owner's house. Especially when the dog is allowed on the furniture, rugs, etc. Dog owners, when your dog finishes its runny poop, do you just head on into the house and let the chips (poop) fall where they may? Or are there doggy wipes?

| My personal favorite was the woman we encountered recently who watched her dog take a dump on an astroturf field at a DCPS middle school and then walked away. When we called her on it, politely pointing out that kids USE the field every day, she swore at us and continued walking away, chatting on her cell phone. |
| OK, I just want to weigh in that cat owners suck, too. We have a neighbor who lets her cat run free (which, although I am not part of the cat subculture, I understand is frowned upon due to risk of feline leukemia + decimation of songbirds), because they just love it so much! Her cat crapped in my *vegetable garden* repeatedly such that we had to just give up, spend $1000 on landscaping, and skip the lesson in growing your own food for our kids. The woman was aware of the entire situation and still lets her cat run free. My kids chase it out of our yard with water guns, but I am still pissed. At least dog owners have a consensus that you *ought* to pick up the feces off of someone else's property.... |
Starting your retort with the oft-repeated "reading comprehension" snark clearly establishes you as unoriginal. Is that better than idiotic?
All you said was that some people feel the same way about children as some of us do about dogs. What are we supposed to infer from this? Also, who gives a rat's left testicle what people think about kids? We're talking about DOGS. Bringing up how people feel about kids, or cats, birds, or Libertarians is not germane to the topic at hand.
And I'm highlighting how silly you are to expect us to deal with the "little things" like dog sh t. Hardly a little thing for all the inconvenience and stress it causes. Isn't it required by law here to "curb your dog"? If not, then it should be, since the inconsiderate dog owners outnumber the responsible ones.
Granted, my initial response was inflammatory because I'm sick of idiots on these dog threads constantly bringing up children to justify their negligence as dog owners. So you got some of the shrapnel of that vitriol. But it weakens your argument against uncalled for insults when you respond by calling someone "crazy, ugly, and a fool". Think before you show your ignorance. |
Again, this is NOT GERMANE to the topic at hand! If you want to complain about the 1% of cat owners who would actually let their pets outside in this urban jungle, feel free, but do it ELSEWHERE. This is a thread about DOG SH T. One cat crapping in your vegetable garden does not make a sound in the forest of the debate at hand. |

Dog owner here. I can't believe this got to 3 pages and no one mentioned the easy fix. Nature's Miracle. Take car mat out of car, clean off poop (wear gloves if you have to), soak in Nature's Miracle and let it sit and work its magic. It might take a couple of weeks and a couple of applications but it will work.
And OP, really, I agree that dog owners ought to pick up after their dogs and I understand your revulsion but isn't this one of those less-than-pleasant things that goes with the territory of having kids? |
Actually my dog wipes her ass on the grass when she is done. works for us.

| Is this a bigger problem in DC? I'm from NJ and there are strict laws about cleaning up after your dog. At least in out neighborhood there I rarely saw dog doo along sidewalks. Aren't there similar laws in this area? Are people just not mindful of them or what? |
Oh yes, Nature's Miracle works great. +1 |
