[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Rockville.  Aside from roaming neighborhood cats, there is an abundance of wildlife including squirrels, birds, mice, possums, raccoons, and an occasional deer.  While it didn’t come to our neighborhood that I’m aware of, the news reported a bear in the area earlier this summer, and other years I remember warnings about coyotes.  Since presumably all these animals urinate somewhere, I don’t think the neighborhood dogs make a significant difference.

That being said, the most memorable sign I ever saw was posted at a campground. It was a fake tombstone displaying the following verse:

Here he lies
all stiff and hard
the last d——d dog
that c——d in my yard.[/quote]

In the suburban neighborhood where I live these animals dont come thru our yards at all. If they do it’s small potatoes compared to the number of dogs. Everyone got a dog during Covid and there are definitely more people complaining about them. Our HOA is dealing with more complaints.

Also if you are a dog owner what makes you think it is reasonable to let your dog go up in someone’s yard? [/quote]

pp here - NOT a dog owner.  I don’t have any pets.

I didn’t say that dog’s should “go up in someone’s yard”.  I just think that in light of nature living naturally in the outdoors (even if part of that outdoors is someone’s property), the dogs wouldn’t seem to make a significant difference.  I hadn’t realized your HOA was nature-proof.  I fully agree it’s your yard and you can do what you want, whether or not it makes sense to me.  [b]Put up a sign, or a dozen signs, or a fence.  Maybe your HOA can pass some regulations for dog owners if there are enough complaints.  [/b]

Personally, I think cats are a lot more intrusive.  I’ve never found a stray dog in my fenced backyard.  Cats (which I’m allergic to), on the other hand, are apparently not deterred by a fence, and their owners don’t even try to keep them on a leash and out of people’s yards, much less try to control/clean up after any waste they leave behind.

Many HOAs have rules about putting signs up in yards too, lol. [/quote]
