Dear A$$hole Dog Owner: pick up your dog's poop

This is to the repeat offender in AU Park who repeatedly fails to pick up their dog's turd:
I have a toddler, and I don't need your dog crap on my lawn. Maybe you think your dog is so wonderful that even it's turds are like gifts from heaven. News flash: they aren't. Pick up after your dog. Leaving your dog's crap on someone else's grass is rude. And disgusting. |

| I could say the same thing about my neighbors damn cat who thinks our front garden is its litter box. Keep your damn cat indoors or don't get a pet. I feel like digging out the poop and putting it on their front steps. |

| I wish our damn neighbors would stop letting their dog crap in our backyard. Sure, we have a dog that poops in our yard too, but we pick up our dog's poop. Their dog's poop I pick up with scooper and fling back into their yard. By the way, your f'ing bushes need trimming too, you jerks. |

I might suspect a neighbor's dog, if there is one. Either they are letting him out on his own early morning or at night and not seeing him do it. On our block there is a dog owner who lets his dog out in the morning (it's not a busy street) and FIDO relieves himself on the green space across the street--owner never picks it up--out of sight, out of mind, I guess. As a dog owner who vigilantly picks up her dogs' poops on walks and the yard, this pisses me off badly.
Perhaps a small "Please clean up after your dog" sign--perhaps in the handwriting of a child might work if it is just an a--hole doing it on purpose. Otherwise, I might look around at neighbors dogs--depending on the size of the deposit, you may be able to narrow down suspects. Or, what about borrowing a nanny cam and putting it in a nearby bush.... So sorry you are dealing with this--this sort of thing really gets me too. Makes me think of putting it in a bag and lighting on fire on the perps doorstep..... |

I live in Glover Park where it seems everybody but me owns a dog. There is a lot of dog poop everywhere... not nearly enough people dispose of their pets' poop appropriately. Why not?
Since this is an anonymous forum, for those people who don't pick up their dog's crap, please enlighten us... why not? Did you find piles of poop on the sidewalk or grass aesthetically pleasing? It's gross and unsanitary... why not pick it up? Is it just sheer laziness or what? Now's your time to tell the rest of us... not that there's any justification... |

Or your neighbor might not like you and be pooping on your lawn. |

| I had a neighbor who let her dog poop on our little garden box in front of our house. I confronted her one day and offered her a bag. She said nothing and walked away. I picked up the poop with a bag and delivered it to her house through her mail slot. That seemed to solve the problem. BTW, I have a huge 100 + lb lab that we always pick up after. Even my kids know to pick up after our dog. |

Another thumbs up here..
We have a neighbor who lets the dog run loose right near a sign that says all dogs must wear leashes. Luckily, it's a nice dog, but one of those big dogs that thinks he's a little puppy so he pounces on you. Not what you want around small children when the owners can't keep up with him. Plus, the dog pooped all over our garden this past fall. Hasn't happened since. |

Dog owner here. I honestly do pick up my dog's poop, every time. But I can tell you what happens, because I see it every day at our dog park. Owner takes dog out, gets on cell phone, and stops paying attention. Sometimes people will say "hey, your dog left a package over there," but sometimes nobody wants to cut into the person's phone conversation.
Obviously, there are other exceptional times -- like, say you run into a neighbor, are momentarily distracted, and fido puts one down while you're yakking away. Or maybe you went out, took two bags, but didn't know Rover had unwittingly gotten involved with your leftover burrito and there just ain't enough bags in the world when this happens (happened to me once....I skulked away in shame after my dog pooped for the fourth time (I had only brought two bags) and a car watched me just walk away from it. I DID go back for it, though! Accidents do happen, no pun intended, but most of the time I bet it's just people not paying attention...or worse...people just thinking that nobody is watching. Sucks that the rest of us dog owners get a bad rap. |

| Our next door neighbors do this! They moved in 5 years ago with 2 cats and 2 dogs when our first was still a toddler and were lovely and friendy, promising to get a fence. Since then, no fence and we've had to knock on their door when one of their cats was struck by a car on our busy street. They only have one dog now, an elderly slow-moving German shepherd, but he is in our backyard on a daily basis. My first trip to the backyard after our second child was born involved picking up the dog waste. We live in MoCo, this is blatantly against the regs, but I haven't quite got up the guts to call the county or to confront the neigbhors. I'm normally not afraid of conrontations, but I have really not wanted to get into a nasty dispute with people who live 8 feet from our house. Still, I don't get what goes through the minds of people who do this... do they really tolerate dog poop in their own yard? Do they not care about their pet's safety? Or ours? I was mauled by a dog as a teenager, and it makes me crazy that a fairly large dog wanders into my yard with my two small children. |
