ANIMAL LOVERS, STOP HERE AND COME BACK TOMORROW!

For all you others please sympathize with me. So I grew up with EVERYONE of my family members loving animals, heck I loved animals. And then it happened some time in between childhood and adulthood the dirty little secret of animals was exposed to me... They cost a ton of money, their hair is gets everywhere,they  come with bugs or you have to spend more money to take the bugs away. And to top it all off  I can't stand the poop and pee . Now don't get me wrong I could at one point have a dog, or a cat. I am not that much of a hater. It just at this time of life I dont have the funds or the time to properly take care of an animal. So why does this happen to me...

This is our neighbors dog. We have only met our neighbors once ,at Halloween. So how do I go next door and say "Hi we are the Whittaker's and we wanted to thank you for all the presents your dog seems to leave at our house but from now on can you please have your dog crap in his own yard? " Yes friends  our back yard is the  "bathroom" for our neighbors dog, those are not rocks in our backyard its crap. What do I say? H

Wow being a dog lover(I have two great dogs) I was shocked. Perhaps you should take the blog and the picture and tape it on their door. No good dog owner would allow this to happen.

wow, that dog has nerve! he actually dug a hole under the fence to use your yard as his bathroom? at our old house, the same thing kinda happened to us...everytime our next door neighbors let their dog out front to do his business, he'd run into our FRONT yard & poop. i never said anything because they were oblivious to the fact that it was happening (they'd let him out & go back inside for a couple of minutes & then come back out & call his name & he'd go back inside) and they were really nice people. however, i think if he actually had dug a hole under my fence, i think i just go over there & just say something like, "hi, i live next door & i just thought i'd let you know that your dog has been getting in our yard, do you think we could fill in the hole he dug or something?" (mabye leave out the fact that he's turned your yard into a litter box, as long as the problem gets taken care of soon).
good luck ~S

Do you think they wonder if there dog doesn't ever poop?

[Kym]

Do they not even know that there dog goes missing? Would he stop if you pilled the dog's own poop in the hole?

[whittakerwoman]

That would mean i would have to touch the poop... thats not going to happen. Maybe carlos will do it.

I have no clue what advice to give you. But when you figure it out, let me know b/c I think I might have the same problem at my new house. When we did the walk through there were several "presents" waiting for us. YUCK!!!!

Buy some bricks and cover the hole. You should bury his crap in the hole and then cover it with dirt. Cuz for some reason dogs with digging problems do not like to dig up their own feces (I read that somewhere). Or you can put all the dog poop in a bag and take it over to the neighbors and say, "Um, excuse me, we have a little problem..." and take it from their. I mean, come on, that is disgusting. How can your girls go outside and play with dog nuggets everywhere? Picking up the poop isn't too bad. If its been there a while its already crunchy and doesn't smell, just use a shovel. My dog has done this in my neighbor's yard. If he didn't complain, I would have had no idea she was doing this. Now I am contemplating buying electric wire to shock her ass everytime she attempts to dig her way out. :)

shoot it. the dog, not the crap. At least you could use that to fertilize your yard.

[Christina]

Eeeks! Gross, and you have kids. I'm with filling in the hole with bricks, having Carlos pick up the poo, and praying that solves the problem. Keep us posted! (No pun intended)

[Bill]

I would say that you and your neighbor could "wink, wink" not have a dog problem. Somethings just happen and "problems" disappear.

[kristiapplesauce]

Yeah...I would say just that. Exactly what you wrote in your post. That was very nice and to the point. Whatever. What are they going to do? Shoot you? Nope.

[the bear]

i wonder how long it will take the neighbors to realize there is no poop in THEIR backyard. have them come over and pick that crap up!

I'm an animal lover, especially of dogs. But get me a rubberband gun or sling shot and your dog problems would go away.
