[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 10 acres in rural VA. The animals that poop on my property daily include: deer, rabbits, birds, wild turkeys, coyotes, foxes, squirrels, groundhogs, voles, and random barn cats belonging to my neighbors.

You have 41 acres and are worked up about a little dog poop? I mean, sure. Die on that hill. [/quote]

I had this same thought. We live on a golf course in a non-rural area and we get all sorts of poop. Deer, skunk, fox and who knows what else. For a property that isn't lived in full-time and kids aren't out playing in the fields after school, I would let it go. Though if it will make you feel better, make the cameras visible and put up clean up after your dog signs.[/quote]

Agreed. I guess I'd ask them to pick it up but this is the country. Shit happens, literally. On 41 acres I am skeptical you'd even notice an occasional dog poop if you didn't know it was happening by looking at your cameras. [/quote]

What an asinine post. As long as the poo goes unnoticed most of the time it's OK to treat your neighbor's land as a toilet? Who are you people that think you can do whatever you want with other people's things?

Personally I'd have an extremely blunt, face-to-face, talk with them along the lines of:

"Tom, look, Ijust texted you 27 videos of Sadie shitting on my vegetable garden, back patio, driveway, garage sidedoor, etc and frankly, I'm sick of it. The last 4 times we've been here we've tracked dogshit into the house and had to clean up after your dog. If you don't put a stop to this now, you're really not going to like how this ends."

If the dog shit on the property again, all shit gets collected and smeared all over their house. Any instances after would put the dog's life in jeopardy[/quote]

I know that you feel all tough and powerful but in the end they live there full time and have local connections. You start messing with people and they will screw with you back and they may be willing to escalate far beyond reason. You don't want some crazy locals vandalizing your house and who knows what else. You cant win. You must convince them through reason or else you have no hope.[/quote]

I know you think that was a zinger of a post, but learn to read, mouthbreather.

OP's wife's family goes back to at least before the second world war. The retirees are from DC and most likely, a, have only been there a decade at most, and, b, are considered 'come heres', not 'from heres'. Locals don't like rich come heres cosplaying as country folk. Bet on that.[/quote]

Sure, but anyone who cares about a dog wandering and pooping on their 41 rural acres is definitely not "country folk."

This is true. The "country folk" I know don't even really pick after their dogs. Maybe if it were right by the house or where someone might step, but out in the woods or off the beaten track? Toss some leaves over it and let the other animals take care of it.[/quote]

You have discussions with your rural friends about the processes they employ for dealing with dog feces? Yeah, right. We believe you!!! :lol:  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

Yeah, I do. Because we visit them. With our dogs.[/quote]

LOL. So you have dogs, supposedly, and have rural friends, supposedly, and you've never learned about the bacteria and parasites that domesticated dog feces introduces into an agricultural environment?

You are your 'friends' are true geniuses . Indeed.[/quote]
