I'm with you. We are not dog owners, but plenty of our neighbors are. For years we put up with cleaning up after them, but recently we were fed up and educated ourselves. Both town law and neighborhood covenants and restrictions prohibit the behavior, so I started politely confronting folks. Most respected our request, some of them a little miffed. There is rarely any doggie-do in our yard now. One nut-case started yelling/screaming when I confronted them for the second or third time, stood my ground and they've never come back.

'Was standing at kitchen sink few minutes ago and watched a mommy with coupla children and a dog (not on a leash - not that it makes any difference in this case). As they sauntered past the house, dog was exploring the entire yard thoroughly; I thought to myself, "He's gonna leave a 'gift,' for sure." Shonuff - 'stopped right in middle of that half of front yard, directly in front of me and left a "nice" one. I wanted to rush to front door and ask the lady, "Do you really think it's OK to bring your dog to my yard to do his business?" But I held the urge and let 'em go without comment. So, why? Cause they usually get away with it, or is it the usual "People just don't give a damned?" Same as throwing trash on the street or in somebody else's yard. What's happened to integrity - the ability to do what is right when nobody else is watching? Rant merely pausing; 'can resume at a moment's notice. ;<) Wilton _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
