On the way to school Thursday, we were walking on the sidewalk, minding our own business, when all of the sudden, out of nowhere, there were two massive piles of dog poop. There was a pile on each side of the sidewalk. Now these said piles happen to be RIGHT in front of someones house. This certain house just happened to get a new dog on Monday.
I almost stepped in the massive pile to the right of me. When I realized that it was dog poop I veered to the left where there was yet another pile. Thank goodness I have quick reflexes (thanks to watching Karate Kid like a billion times--wax on, wax off). I missed stepping in either pile--thank goodness--and I also managed to ward the kids off too.
Isn't it your civic duty once you have a pet to scoop the poop? I think that maybe I need to take Max for a walk to said neighbors part of the street and let him shadoobie in their driveway and just "forget" to have a bag to scoop it up in.
Please--for the love of all that is good in the world--scoop the poop!! I really don't need (or want) to step in your dogs doo!

I will take dog poop on the sidewalk any day over used diapers on the sidewalk or in the parking lot. Blech.
Used diapers? Really? Who does that kind of crap?
Today I almost stepped on a runover dirty diaper! A NUMERO DOS DIAPER! Blegh dirty
My neighbor's dog is trained to poo in my front yard. Nice.
It IS your duty to scoop their doodie! This is why I will NEVER have a pet, unless they invent one that doesn't poop.
You know. I gag every time I see someone grabbing fresh poop through a bag covering their hand. But I'm still really glad they do it.
I'm also really glad that my dog is neurotic and absolutely refuses to poop anywhere but in her very own corner of her very own backyard. Good dog.
With all the dog training out there, why is it no one has trained a dog to clean up his own poo? Now THAT's a trick I'd pay to see!
BRITTANY, MINE TOO! Our ONE close neighbor that is right across the street has a dog and because this house hadn't been lived in for 10 years before we graced it with our touch of love they had him pooh over here.
We were so mad. Jaren would yell at it every time he caught it and then one day this winter Jaren pulled his truck into the garage and we looked down and on his very nice rim was something.... yellow? THE dog came and Peed on his tire. HAHA. I mean... bad dog! bad bad dog! I'm pretty sure if someday he didn't want to buy his neighbors farm(don't ever say that on my blog) he would have shot it. Oh and if he wasn't married to me, the (kind-of)humanitarian.
I like the word Shadoobie. Just rolls right off the tongue
Victoria-
I would have barfoed on the spot! Yuck!!
Brittany-
My neighbors (they are the BEST neighbors EXCEPT) feed stray cats. Which in turn makes my front yard their litter box. Barfo! (Thanks again for the word Ramona)
Mary-
Maybe you could just invent some kind of poopie bag that hooks to their butt and then make Z empty it!
Heather-
My dog only poops in one corner of our yard too. It is SOOOO nice!
Holly-
I would pay to see that too! (0;
Whitney-
I stole the word shadoobie from Chelsea Handler--it is my new favorite word!
As far as poop is concerned, my war is with cats as well! I can't have a safe outdoor place for my kids to play at, not even in our back yard. Our neighbors own about 10 cats and they are all outside cats. I've done everything from setting traps, poison, calling animal control and ranting and yelling to no avail. Any other suggestions beside keeping my kids inside because I can't stand THEIR pooping and peeing inside the house.
We were going to the grocery store one day, and my son dropped a pile of change in the parking lot, right on top of a dirty diaper someone had tossed, and someone had driven over the said diaper, so just imagine. When we came back out of the store someone had picked up, yes picked up my sons change that had been spilled all over the top of the diaper and such. We were freaking out!! and Mommy Madness, Do we have teh same neighbor? 10 Cats! they poop in our sand box and pee under our deck, on hot days our deck smells like cat pee, us too have gone to war!! we cat traps and all, but still she just gets more kittens. ahh
Mommy Madness and Wendy-
My neighbor feed strays. The come from all over the place. I HATE cats (sorry to all that like/love them--I will explain why one day). But basically my front yard has become a litter box for said cats. We found their favorite spot and covered it with chicken wire--problem solved--that is until they found a new favorie spot. So basically my fron yard smells like cat poop and amonia. Good times!!
Ahhh yes, my good friend Chelsea. I knew I had heard that before.
In Scotlad those are aclled "jobbies" or "steamin' jobbies" if they are fresh. Yes people should clean up after their dog!
I will happily tell you, we have a lil fire hydrant attached to our Max's leash that hold's poop bags. I mean no one much cares if he poops in OUR backyards (we do the occasional scoop and bag don't worry) but to leave it in your neighbors or uggghhh. We'd have the neighbors wrath if we had any in our own front yard....we are the bus stop...unfortunately, the little litterbugs!!
