Then he put it on a stake,
And put it up for the world to see.
We decided to pick up the poop that was out there since its getting warmer and I don’t want it stinking it up. We got a shovel and went to town. {BTW, those trees fell during the big snowstorm we just had. They will be gone soon.}
Once we got started, I realized just how much poop was out there.
It.Was.Everywhere.
Literally a pile of poop for every day they have lived in the neighborhood. (1 month-ish) We filled a large trash bag 1/2 way with POOP. It was so heavy the bag started to break and hubs had to carry it. My blood was boiling.
Who does that?
Even if it was common ground and not someones personal property, wouldn’t you think about the fact that very soon, it will be a land fill that makes the entire street will smell like sharts?
Boo… I really hate when people let their dogs poop in our yard. Which is the main reason I stopped walking Trixie regularly. Even if they do it close to the road, it still makes me mad.
Love the sign. I hate it when people don't pick up. It's your job if you have a dog. Good on ya!
haha love this (the sign, not the neighbors dog poo) and it looks like you live in a forest! So cozy!
We have been going through the same situation with our common ground. We have a round about filled with grass and a lot of the neighbors use this as a poop stop. I'm fine with that part, we take our dog to this spot all the time. The problem is so do a lot of other people and it really is disgusting. I'm about to throw my own sign up. I just don't know how some people can leave HUGE piles of poop laying there and walk away. One day I was walking our dog and we ran out of the bags we usually use but our neighborhood has those stands around it so I figured I would get one from there. Well of course my dog poops right there near someones yard and i go to get one and it's empty. I felt so bad that i walked all the way to the other side of the neighborhood to get a bag and then walked all the way back bc I really didn't want to make anyone mad. It makes me nervous just thinking about if people saw me walk away but not come back.
OH my, ugh!
I can't believe they did that! That is horrible!
I'd watch for her and then when she trances up to let her dog pop a a squat I'd let her have it.
These web sites have some great signs. I came across this awhile back while looking for one for ourselves

In our neighborhood these signs are everywhere, even though three parks in the area have baggie dispensers people still fail to clean up after their pets. It is very fristrating that grown people have no sense. Whenever I am out walking I carry at least 5 bags for my 2 dogs and if I see someone letting their dogs do the buisness I offer them a bag, most of the time they are quit embaressed.
Hopefull the sign gets the messgae across to them
Hey I saw your post. Check into the laws around your area. The area I live in which is MN but it is illegal for them to leave it. In my area they can get a fine. Check into it. Its just rude for them to do that.
that is so sick! Why do people do that stuff? I think you get a fine for not picking up dog poo where we live.
That is crazy that people don't clean up after their dogs…it's common courtesy, whether or not its private property!! Good job with the sign…
Love the sign. We live in a gated and HOA community and there are signs and trash bag/trashcan stations everywhere. If a neighbor sees you not cleaning up after your dog, you get a noticed put on your front door, haha. Maybe you could try that if your lovely neighbor doesn't take the hint :).
People honest to God have no manners. We lived in a house once where a neighbor would let their dog do this every single time. It pissed me off. We got a dog a few months before moving and as pay back I let our dog visit their lawn
Y'all are better people then me though because I would have put the bag on their front step.
Seriously, I would be livid. In general I hate when people do pick up after their dog. No matter how big or small it is, its just rude to leave it there!
I hate when dog owners are not responsible for their dogs.
Umm that's gross! The sign was a good idea.
I hope she/they get the point. That's a bit ridiculous.
Great sign…I have a dog and would never do that. The nerve of some people!
Eww!! Will you come scoop all my poop?? Haha!!
that is totally disgusting! i hope the sign works!
hey, remember when we met at scary mommy's house and realized that we are both from NoVA and that baltimore is tooo far to travel to meet bloggers?
well, i've been working on that!! do you know any other northern VA bloggers? send me their URLs. planning a spring event in Occoquan…
site almost ready to reveal. yay!
I think Billy should go poop in there yard until they put up a sign that has a man with his pants down with an "x" through it.
