re: Suburban OTers, Do You Care If Dogs Excrete In Your Yard If The Owners Pick Up After?

Would imagine only people with tiny front yards care.

Where I live, the only problem I have is about once a year when the neighbors cows/horses break out and seem to love coming to my front yard and they shite too. Probably about 3 acres worth of land/space in the front yard though and I still don't care.

My neighbor’s dogs come over every morning to get my dog- it’s kinda cool. They play for a bit, then go home. On the way back, they all shite in my yard, and the French bulldog scratches her back on our door mat. I had to have all the back doors redone.

I was a little put off until I realized…

I live in a $700k house
My wife is good looking and in shape
My kids are not retards

It’s all about the perspective you see it from.

What's wrong with that? It's a trash can. I can't imagine living life worrying about someone "contaminating" my trash

Better question

Does "your yard" include the public area past the sidewalk?

---

I have to cut the grass there so yes that is my yard.

Will speak from experience on this one. Had trash can out and already picked up. a-hole throws his non-airtight poop bag in my can. Trash can lid is open (usually ends up open after pickup). Early afternoon shower deposits 2-3” of water in can. Sun comes out afterwards. I come from from work and have to deal with a dog poop sous vide in my trash can.

Another peel of the onion: Was it your can or the county/city/company's can?

If there was some neighborhood pact that on days when cans are out and not yet picked up we can all throw sealed bags in anyone's can, I'd be fine with it. I've never done it because the can isn't mine and people are weird about stuff, but if someone did it to me on the morning of pickup (well bagged) - who cares?

If you live on a street where a dog can poop, you don't get to bitch about this.

Dogs poop. Get over it. As long as the owner picks it up, who cares.

Property of the county, but paying monthly fees/taxes makes it essentially mine. People who lease a car that gets keyed will still be upset, they don’t say “that’s not my car, that’s the property of Ally, GM financial.”

I appreciate a pickup, but If I find a turd I pitch it into the street.
