The dogs aren't deciding where to stop. Mutilate the owners.


Great idea, but unfortunately, I'm not always around to greet the
assholes.
I'm home today, though, and saw something unbelievable. A slimeball was
walking her dog. She began with the usual routine - letting her dog
investigate the edge of my neighbor's lawn where it meets the street.
Then,
she wandered RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE of a 50' deep lawn, let the dog crap,
and
cleaned it up. Where the hell do some dog owners get the idea that this
sort
of thing is acceptable???

At least she cleaned up after her dog. Most would not have.

Home owners, if caught, should receive heavy fines for allowing their dogs
to use the neighborhood as a toilet.

Apartment buildings that permit tenants to have dogs should be required by
law to have a fenced in area where dogs must be walked.





There is a real winner that walk a pair of little white things (we can them
the street rats). They've been fined multiple times for not cleaning up
after the dogs and have had animal control called on them countless more.
Hasn't changed a thing....

Got a town judge you can talk to? Do it. Technically, those dog walkers are
guilty of civil trespass, although a judge won't enforce it unless she/he is
informed that the situation is about to get ugly. A judge with a brain will
provide an injunction which permits the cops to arrest the people for simply
setting foot on your lawn. Also works for people who think it's OK to douse
your side of the property line with hideous chemicals.

It would have to go to the county IIRC and while I might think it worth it,
my lawn hasn't been anointed for quite some time. Right now they are
targeting other areas of the general neighborhood.

BTW - go with the rugosas - hardy, pretty, makes the birds happy and the
deer don't eat them.

I guess it depends on the neighborhood. Here, the town judges are the first
stop, county courts the second.

Rugosa sounds like a good choice. 2-3 nights a week when I step outside,
there are deer 20 feet from the door, and they stand there and stare at me
light I have a lot of nerve for invading their driveway. :-)
