[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I don't understand is why these dog people don't just have their dogs poop in their own yards--why do they deliberately take them out to poop on someone else's property? It's gross even if they try to pick it up.[/quote]

I am going to be generous here and assume that you've just never had a dog, so you don't understand what's involved. Responsible dog owners don't just let their dogs out into the yard to pee and poop. Responsible dog owners take their dogs for walks - because dogs need exercise beyond just being cooped up in a yard. It's on those walks that dogs pee and poop. (This is even assuming that the owner has a yard.)

There probably are some dogs that have precision training as to where they are going to pee and poop. I don't know any of those dogs. (No, I take it back - I know one of those dogs.) Responsible owners do what they can to make sure their neighbors are not inconvenienced by dogs. People who put up signs asking for dogs not to be "curbed" on their lawns - we try to respect those signs by leading the dog away from those lawns. But for the most part, dogs pee and poop where they like, and you pick up the poop. That is life in a city. If you don't like it, put up a sign. If you still don't like it, and it bothers you enough that you are considering poisoning your neighbors' pets (as I saw one monster of a PP suggested), then [b]there are lots of places where you can get away from the trouble of having neighbors - it would probably be great to move to one of them.[/b][/quote]Huh??!!  I should inconvenience myself by selling my home and moving elsewhere because the dogs needs come before mine? :roll: [/quote]
