Obnoxious Sign


I see a lot of these or similar signs and I find it incredibly distasteful. 

If you don't have such a sign on your lawn is it okay for your neighbors to let the dogs go on your lawn? I don't think so!

What is wrong with people who have to be told it is not okay to let their dogs defecate on someone else's property?

    Our town home association put up about 20 of these signs. Like you, Why do we need signs for this anymore? May as well put up signs "Please do not break into homes uninvited."

    Sorry about above -
    "what is wrong with people?".....
    I say that phrase all day every day.

    We have a man who walks a big dog up our street and finally my husband asked him to make sure the dog poops in the gully on each side of the street s that we did not drive into dog poop and bring it into our garage. He could have the big dog poop in his yard, but he is a dude with tattoos and cell phone to his ear---not one to negotiate.

    I had to laugh at this post. I agree. But there are lots of signs about that you have to wonder about. The one that always gets me is the one by the train tracks that says, DO NOT STOP ON TRACKS! Really? We have to be told that? I always thought it should say, DO NOT STOP ON TRACKS, IDIOT!"

    I don't have the sign and my neighborhood dog walkers apparently think it means I give my permission. I wish I had the time and energy to stand out there and monitor them.

    I have never seen such a sign. Ours say "Pick up after your dog". Dog walkers here carry plastic bags for poop scooping.

    What is so hard? Stoop, scoop, zip and place in trash can. Kind of why I prefer owning small dogs though.

    In our state of Hawaii, dog owners are supposed to pick up after their dog. It is the law.

    The sign that gets me, usually posted around a school, pronounces that it's a Drug Free Zone. As though it's okay to take drugs if you're not in this particular area. Anyway, I agree (as a dog owner myself) the dog sign is particularly offensive.

    In my mother in laws neighborhood, there was a person who walked their dog and did clean up after them. You would then find the bag of poop carefully placed on your side walk for you to dispose. How nice.

Updates

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
