Dog People

[Domush]

Life may be full of annoying things BUT, I have never had anyone bring their kid down the street on a leash for them to crap in my yard and I have never had any fat people crap in my yard.

Not one single part of what I quoted referenced crapping in yards. You spoke of behavior and being around things you, personally, don't like. Then you spoke of outright bans based on what you, personally, don't like. I responded to the quote and nothing but the quote. Don't try and put words in my mouth. If I were responding to more, I would have quoted it.

You seem to be telling me to 'get over it'.

Again, in my response, I made the point if you don't like something, avoid it. You hate certain things in public, avoid public. You always have the right to hide within your property lines and create your own personal rules for that private space. As an example, I avoid many places in which have a high probability of having screaming kids or obese people stuffing their faces.

Why doesn't this family let their dogs go in their own yard?

I totally sympathize with your plight in this matter. I simply didn't comment because I agree and there is nothing more I could add.

I hope all little dogs being paraded around on leashes DIE !!!!!!!!

Little (useless) dogs annoy me, too, but I try and reserve judgement because I may not have found one which was properly trained. Though I'm beginning to doubt it is even possible with their tiny brains and screwed up genetics.

You should really give medium/larger dogs a chance, as properly trained ones are more polite and respectful than many kids I come across. People tend to think dogs can raise themselves and they are as wrong as thinking anything can raise itself and be well adjusted.

My wonderful sister had a bunch of pugs. We quickly discovered that when we visited her, we needed to put our bags at table height as they liked to "mark" anything that was foreign. It was one of the things that convinced me I am not a dog person. These pugs were her "pets" - cared for- shown, obedience trained. Dogs are dogs. Not for me.:laughing:

I wouldn't tolerate that either... and I love my dog. That's partly a training issue but also because they haven't been "snipped". Unfortunately a neutered dog doesn't fit in
the hoyty-toyty show world

As a dog person I believe your beef is with the people not the dog, so personally I would deal with them on there terms,perhaps an errant ride with the S h i t spreader, or perhaps next time he flipped me the bird I would have a nice chat with him on a one to one.

The again you seemed to have lumped us all in the same group, so I have to wonder if their is another side of the story us dog folks don;t know.

I don't think it has anything to do with "dog" people per-se, it's just that these people are a-holes and own dogs.

We have a neighbor that has a barking dog, which they just leave on their screen porch all the time. It's a young male black lab, and those dogs need more attention and more activity than that, so it barks all the time. Kind of sad really -- makes me wonder why they even have a dog. It barks early in the morning, and it barks late at night. I actually think there are laws against that, but I won't be the one to turn him in.

Anyhow, I was down talking with the guy the other night, and his dog was barking non-stop, wanting attention. The guy didn't even seem to notice or care with the dog just 20 ft away. I came away thinking how I'd never have the nerve to let a dog bark all the time like that, disturbing the neighborhood. Obviously, he's a different kind of person. You have to figure that anyone who keeps a young back lab locked up on a screen porch doesn't have the best judgement.

We had another neighbor that got sick of a nearby dog crapping in his yard, so he began saving turds from his cat's litterbox, and sling-shot them into the other people's yard. The whole thing was hilarious. I never heard if they struck a truce. But I can say that that cat dropped some huge turds -- they were practically man-size!

I can't think of many things smellier than a dog which has been eating cat - well, you know what I mean.

That lab reminds me of my former ne

In thirty three years living at my present location I have never had a dispute with any neighbor until now. The guy on the corner or his adult daughter come out every morning and walk their three dogs. They bring them out, two on leashes, one running free, and walk about a hundred yards down the road to let the dogs crap in their neighbors yards. Usually mine. If anybody is out they would smile and wave as the dog did it's business. Several have politely asked them to not do this and they say OK and wait a week and come back and do it again.

I stopped the girl last week and told her in no uncertain terms to not let her dog sxxt in my yard. She said she would stop it but now the whole family is pissed at me. The guy gives me the finger when I drive by his house.

Question #1: Why do 'dog people' think it is just great for non dog owners to step in and smell dog poop all the time?

Question #2: Why don't they have the dogs poop in their own yard? I can answer that one myself, they don't want their grandkids stepping in it. But it is okay if mine do even if we don't have dogs.

Question #3: If I walk out to the road to talk to the guy and pull out a pistol and shoot the little mutt on the leash as it is pooping do you think I will get in trouble?

From being a long time dog lover these people and others like them are turning me and my family into dog (and 'dog people') haters.

Just a rant.

Even if you had dogs of your own and they crap in your yard that doesn't give the neighbors the right to have their dogs take a dump there. Don't blame the dogs, they are just doing what comes natural - its the people you need to shoot

You hit the nail right on the head.

I had a neighbors kid walk his dog on my front lawn I just returned his lost droppings to his front door. When the old man came out and stepped in it all heII broke loose, needless to say the kid walked the dog elsewhere. If the neighbor continues to walk their dog on your property some well placed ex-lax treats along the path should result in one messy house. Crude but effective!

That's what I did (see my earlier post) and it solved the problem.

I'm lucky... Three dogs on 120 acres. I have more deer manure than dogs... And haven't figured out how to get the wild animals to poop where I won't see it.

I have acreage too, and my four dogs are wonderful about getting far from the house before they drop a load. I just mowed the lawn yesterday and didn't find a single pile of dog crap. I have a lab who is shy and hides in the tallest grass he can find to take a dump, unless I take him to the coast, where he runs out into the surf to do it. Fortunately, the ocean here is too cold for swimmers, or I would feel guilty about that.

It is spam. I reported it, but mods have not removed it.
