Woman:  [On street, walking dog. Watches dog walk to curb, then onto edge of a lawn. Dog kneels, does his business (#2). Dog yawns.]

Woman: (to dog)  Good boy, Jerry.  [Woman looks behind her, sees no one. Picks up Jerry, small like a mid-sized rat, and quickly walks on.]...overhear more

There's a woman like this on our street. Somebody took her to small claims court for ruining his lawn. He won and she still does it with her dog.

What a pig. I hate neighbors like this. They have no respect.

We also had somebody like this. She refused to curb her dog. One night a neighbor dumped barrels of horse dung all over her lawn.

She got the message. I think she's trying to sell her house and move. That's a great unintended consequence

People like this are so inconsiderate. Who calls their dog, jerry? Anybody who does has a problem to begin with.

I like the name Jerry. It shows personality. Everything else I don't like.

We once had a cat and named her Rover. Maybe we're weird too, but the whole family loved her.

We've got same kind of woman. She's gross. People have put signs in their yards, telling HER to curb her mutt. I like the idea of horse dung on her lawn. Sounds like the perfect response.

Ok, I did it once too. And I got caught. It was so embarrassing! I spent the next few months groveling to the neighbor to try to make it up to her. She said it was no big thing, then she told everyone on the block what I'd done. It took me more months to live it all down.


Anybody who admits they did

- submitted by forgiver on 04/18/2007

Anybody who admits they did this before should turn themselves in to their local authorities. There's no excuse. It's just so rude. Peeing on somebody elses lawn is one thing, but doing the dirty thing, you've renounced your good neighbor status.


Peeing is unacceptable too,

- submitted by Anonymous on 04/18/2007

Peeing is unacceptable too, I think, unless the doggie is in an emergency situation. Doggie emergencies exempt you from the violation.

Would it be ok for you to poop on your neighbor's lawn? If not, then it's not OK for your dog.

What's the difference from a deer or squirrel doing it on your lawn and somebody's dog? None.


Doglover, the difference is

- submitted by logisticsgurl on 04/18/2007

Doglover, the difference is the dog owner has control over the dog. If the dog owner also owned a squirrel and intentionally did that I'd say that's bad news too.
