Then we are even. One owner let their dog poop in my yard and didn't clean it. I just picked up the poop, boxed it, and fedexed it to the neighbor with a note saying that they forgot to clean their dogs defecation from my yard and that I'd appreciate it if they returned my overnight fedex cost. I was surprised that They did (probably let the dog pee on the cash, but whatever) and now I never see them walking in front of my house anymore. What they do in their own yard is their business. In my yard, don't touch my property.
While I am hoping this is actually a joke, assuming it is not, I feel kind of bad for the Fedex delivery guy to be involved in this crazy personal vendetta. Seems like it would be more appopriate to hand deliver when out on next walk with gatorade bottle.

They got publicly shamed. The owners then enter the thread and defend themselves. Hilarity ensues.

Hooooooleeeeeeeeeshiiiiiiiit that is nasty. I love how that was clearly weeks and weeks worth of crap and the owner was insistent they don't pick up "every single day." Lady, you don't pick up ever!
It was absolutely disgusting. I frequently passed by this area and saw the poop with my own eyes.
The public shaming actually worked - it's no longer a problem.
I mean, I feel for her, 8 months pregnant is tough, public shaming isn't fun, but wow that was nasty.
Wow, the neighbors are lucky the woman didn't heavily lawyer up about their "public shaming" - a very dangerous approach, on the neighbors' part!
I'm pretty sure the owners are lawyers themselves (or at least the "partner" who works 14 hours per day is an attorney).
That said, there's no libel or slander here if the neighbors are telling the truth. Which they did - there's documented evidence of tons of poop and that happens to violate the DC health code. Where's the damages for the negligent home owners?
There are many issues at play here.

Is it normal for people to let their dogs run around in the back yard and poop all over the place (on their property)?
They have a nice big back yard, about 0.25 acres of grass, and it has a short wrought iron fence around it so the dog should not get into our yard.
Does this just seem weird because I didn't grow up with pets?

Poop on your own property or in common areas. Not on private property. That is rude and selfish and being a terrible neighbor.

They obviously had the money to outsource the task. That's what people were angry about. Being pregnant doesn't obviate one from picking up the phone and arranging back-up help.
