[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help me understand. You’ve brought little blue plastic bags along on your walk and picked up your dog’s poop. (Thank you!) But then, you just drop the bag on the street right outside my house and walk away. First I thought “maybe they’ll come back for it.” But no. Because the next day you came back and dropped a second bag in the exact same spot, next to the first. And then a third bag on the next day, all in a little pile. I’m angry. I’m grossed out. But I’m really trying to understand your thinking here. Do you leave all other garbage in the street, too? How can I make you stop?[/quote]

Most dog owners do not do this. So stop generalizing. Leave a note on the pile. Get a camera. Call them out. Report them.

What else can you do?[/quote]

OP may be generalizing but you seem unaware that this happens far more than you realize. On trails, on suburban streets, and especially on city streets. Some dog owners think it's fine if they leave the bags in the gutter. I guess the thinking might be that "its the curb and that's where trash gets swept up by the street sweeper/it'll get picked up by the garbage collectors whenever they make their rounds to empty residentail garbage cans" or whatever. But unfortunately, PP, there really ARE people who do this as their regular disposal of their dog doo. Just bags tossed in the gutter, to wash down into the storm drains, split open and spill out dog poop, sit there and bake in the sun and smell....So please don't think OP is being a snowflake.

OP, if this happens regularly it's probably one single owner, and they're walking regularly by your house, so I would wait and watch to see that person. If you don't see a regular dog walker dump a baggie, I'd still ask that person, "Have you seen any other dog walkers who come through this neighborhood who are dropping blue bags of dog poop by the curbs on in yards? Someone has done it X times in this spot in front of my house and I'm wondering if you've seen anyone like that." If the person IS the culprit you'll have sent a message that you're aware of this, and if the person is not, well, he or she will be fine with the query. But always wait with your camera ready to record it if you actually see it happen. How incredibly gross and rude.[/quote]
