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.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
