I'm reaching NQB poop in a bag level...

I would just keep calling animal control if she keeps getting out. Hopefully if you complain enough eventually they'll catch her and/or speak to the owner.

Ugh -- that's shitty. (Pun intended.)

My neighbor walks his dog and will let his dog poop in our yard. We've noticed him just walk off after the dog is finished without picking up after him. My DH has gone out and asked him to come back and pick it up. I went so far as to walk down to his house a couple times to tell him to come pick it up. I'm sure he hates us, but we're not the ones being the assholes who let their dog crap everywhere.

So, there was recently a story in a nearby town about homeowners who don't clean dog shit off their own lawn and the neighbors complained because it was smelling really awful or something.

This person then decided to paint the side of his house in obnoxious, colorful stripes just to piss the neighbors off further.

Aren't people great?

This reminds me of the time my parents put up a fence. My mom (not stable, vindictive) was so offended when our neighbors gave her some input on what color stain to use on the side facing them, that my mom decided to only stain half so it would look like hell from their house. She also put up flood lights on our deck facing their house because she was offended that they didn't have blinds on one window.

Her craziness knows no bounds.

Apparently, the people who used to own my house used to feud with the next door neighbors like that.  They had fights about dog shit and chickens (my house has a chicken coop out back, which is totally legal, but apparently pissed off the next door neighbors).   The old neighbors used to post huge posters with hate messages along the side of their house that faces directly into the master bedroom window of my house. Both sets of people were also featured in the local paper during the 2004 presidental election because they had HUGE roof-sized signs supporting opposite candidates.  Anyway, to end the story, the people who sold us our house moved, buying a larger house in the same neighborhood, about five blocks away.  Guess who bought the house next door to their new house 2 months later?!?!?!

ugh, I would keep calling animal control. Have you talked to the neighbor who owns the dog?

[isabel]

I think I would just put animal control in my contacts and call them every time you see the dog. They're bound to do something eventually.

[cajunmom]

I would call the lady at work every time you see her dog out. You said she works at a vet's office, right?

Someone used to let their car roam free in our old neighborhood. It was an evil cat who took up partial residence in our yard and hissed at us when we had the nerve to go outside. I didn't call animal control because I was worried about it just being put down. Then he car disappeared and the owner flooded our neighborhood list serve with missing cat posts. The consensus became that Fluffy either became a meal for one of the coyotes that had been seen around or had been bitten by a copperhead.

I now wish I had called animal control. They would have at least told the owners that they couldn't allow their pet to trespass on private property and maybe it would still be alive.

A neighbor's dog regularly poops at our mailbox (rural side of suburbia, so mailboxes are at the end of every driveway), and it makes me crazy. If I only knew which neighbor, I would definitely say something. And then be tempted to pull an NQB if that failed.

I'm so sick of this shit.

Our neighbor (who we don't like) has a big black lab that poops in our yard and they don't pick up after him. I mean, my dog is a chihuahua - my dog is as big as their dog's poop! I started picking it up with a shovel and putting it back in their yard. Then dh put a security camera in and caught it on video. He printed a screen shot with a caption stating our city code regarding fines for not picking up after your dog and put it on his door. They pick up after the dog now

I only recommend this tactic if you don't like said neighbors.

Our animal control officers will accept pictures to issue citations/warnings. So I call, they tell me to take a picture and email it to them, they show up and issue a citation or warning. I would call and ask how to handle it since the dog is obviously roaming.

swizz our animal control will accept pictures also. I've had to call them several times because our neighbors cows (yes, cows) escape and scratch up our deck, eat our fruit trees, etc.
