I know that it is not very kind of me, but I choose not to let my kids have a dog. One
BIG reason...I don't want to pick up dog poop! However, my decision to not have a dog, doesn't save my lawn from dog poop! It is very annoying! I used to have two different families dogs going on our lawn, but one got a fence. Thank heavens!
Now, you may think that i am being a little overly bugged, but think of new beautifully fallen snow all over youR yard. NO tracks are in your yard yet even, It is beautiful. But then you spot, there in the middle of your driveway, a big pile of dog poop! Now, this may make some of you laugh! But it made me irritated! I am so tired of dog poo!
Actually I can't even say it is just dogs, another neighbor has cats, I have watched it pooping on our lawn. I was yelling at it! Went to show John the next day, pretty sure the neighbor saw me ranting and yelling at it, and came and collected it's animals poop!
This rant is brought to you because I was just outside, and watched my neighbors animal let go it's poop on my lawn. I yelled at it to get off my lawn. It started to growl at me! It is old and puny, and I could have taken it, BUT it made me angry this animal was mad that I was trying to keep it from pooping on my lawn. I looked around to see where my neighbors were, no where to be seen I tell you! I was so angry, I went and got a sack, yep a sack. Picked up all the poop on my lawn. And went and deposited it on my neighbors lawn. It was not my best moment. I was shaking I was so angry!
Not to glory Oregon once again, but I REALLY love leash laws! You can get the cop called on you for not keeping your animal on a leash! I've seen it happen! Yes, this may be harsh to you animal loving people, but they do have dog runs, where you can let them out to run a bit with out you or a leash. But you still have to be responsible for your animal and it's bodily functions!
IF people are going to treat animals like their children, that should include watching where they pee and poo! I'm just saying, I don't let my kids desecrate on their lawns!
I need to go repent now. But if you have any suggestions on how to keep this atrocity from happening, let me know!
PS I did try to think of other words to use besides poop, but in my anger the only one I could think of, was not very becoming of a lady to use. Although I do admit that I have thought it once or twice while staring down at the very offending object! AAARGH!
(I am positive if John were home, he would have had some good words to use. Actually if John were home, he would have stopped me from writing this post. I know this because I texted him telling him about the poop and the sack. He told me to forgive them and forget it. Yes, he is a good man. Good bye for now, I have to go and repent!)
