Before I was in the country, I lived on an acre in the burbs. I had a new neighbor that let his dog just keep shitting in my yard. I probably talked to him kindly three times about it. Dude, my step kids play in the yard, none of them wanna roll in your dogs poop.
Just wouldnt sink in. So one day, I bagged it all up, and as we left to go somewhere, I walked up to the front door, and poured about 6 piles of dog shit in front of his door.
My step daughter, about 13 at the time says "is there not a better way to deal with this?"
I had to explain that some people are too dense to be civil. The next day, the guy came over an apologized. End of the dog poop battle.
Dogs are fucking great.....humans......pfffft!
Cats, Im not sure of. Never had one. Ive seen too many on peoples kitchen counters. Fucking gross!
