dog shit stinks!
Loooooooooong story…….
My husband and I bought our house last year, nice home, quiet street, good neighborhood, school and shopping nearby, almost perfect, except for one neighbor. He has this enormous dog, it’s as big as a bear (it’s a Newfoundland, I think) and every day that dog would pick our yard to poop on. I talked to the neighbor, really politely, and asked that he keep his dog out of our yard or scoop up the poop. He said sure, not a problem. So for like a couple weeks we had no doggy deposits, until today.
I’m out cutting the grass, I got my mp3 player on listening to some chembros and my husband is on the ladder, cleaning out the rain gutters. He starts waving his arms in the air and I look up but I can’t hear him. I’m still walking along guiding the lawnmower. Then I hit it. THE BIGGEST PILE OF DOG SHIT YOU EVER SAW!!!!! That dog musta been saving it up for a week. The lawnmower went over it and the shit flew out of the discharge chute, hit the house, the car, even on me! I was soooooo mad, I wanted to bust something!
I know its not the dog’s fault, it’s the owner, he is the stupid one, but I was really ready to strangle that dog!! Only one problem, the mutt is bigger than me!!!
We thought about fencing the yard but I love it like it is, I hate feeling like I’m in prison. I called the animal control office, but the dog is licensed and they can’t do anything unless they ‘catch him in the act’, like I supposed to wait around until he sneaks into the yard and squats before I call them again, cheesh!!
So what do I do? Any suggestions???? I could use some good ideas. I don’t want to get into trouble, though. TIA
