I picked up what I thought was a piece of plasticine ... squeezed it ... and realised it was cat muck. How I mistook plasticine for cat muck I do not know. It taught me a lesson. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548969874395633339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317458159222048512.post-32040031211744876912013-01-11T10:16:16.021+00:002013-01-11T10:16:16.021+00:00I know someone who did that ... and the dog owner ...I know someone who did that ... and the dog owner came out and asked my acquaintance what he was doing.

My acquaintance was a big man and there was no argument. I believe the problem with dog muck ended thereafter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548969874395633339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317458159222048512.post-62620468472391212082013-01-10T01:26:37.523+00:002013-01-10T01:26:37.523+00:00Sounds like you had a crappy day Charlie. ~giggle~...Sounds like you had a crappy day Charlie. ~giggle~ Sorry I just couldn't resist. ~blushing~Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685980271529031071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317458159222048512.post-73904884117638312692013-01-09T23:20:59.931+00:002013-01-09T23:20:59.931+00:00Take your pistol with you and shoot the dog if you...Take your pistol with you and shoot the dog if you need to.

When my last renters moved we took a sign off the driveway fence that he had painted. "If you let your dog deposit on our lawn I will pick it up and throw it at you." They had 2 dogs themselves. I removed the sign as it wasn't friendly. Then after they left I found 3 piles in the back yard that they missed while moving. Shit happens and they were probably too busy shifting boxes to notice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14684720888428863058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317458159222048512.post-62077579557593628422013-01-09T19:19:16.064+00:002013-01-09T19:19:16.064+00:00It's too bad you don;t know where the dog owne...It's too bad you don;t know where the dog owner lives.

It looks like we are both having a time with dogs, and dog owners.. and what they deposit on the grass...<br /><br />We had Just received yellow notices from the Office at our Brand New Apartment Complex about our dogs, and where if we were going to walk them on Property to go. There is a dog station in back of my building where I take Jenny Craig. Well.. I guess some women who live here don't go out there. I live in the Courtyard, and there is newly planted grass that still needs to be tended to and yesterday as I was sitting here saw a little Chihuahua running around out in the Courtyard,, peeing and then I noticed it was off leash also.. And of course that is a no no also... I slipped my shoes on and walked to the Office to complain.. first of all.. that little bugger squatted and his owner never picked up his deposit.. Someone said I should have picked it up and placed it on her Patio.. in front of her door.. LOL.. Bad me.. but I didn't.. So.. I know who the bad person is.. And I made a formal complaint.. Now we will see what happens....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884522501925167154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317458159222048512.post-83342612515701552472013-01-09T12:55:42.224+00:002013-01-09T12:55:42.224+00:00As a dog owner I can safely say that there really ...As a dog owner I can safely say that there really is no excuse for leaving your dog's leavings like that. There are so many bags out there on the market for collecting such leavings - not to mention non-specific bags like carriers and bread bags - which I've pressganged into use on occasion. Disgusting behaviour. I think your colour quandary was entirely excusable in the circumstances. So sorry to hear about the book deal falling through - what a blow!Jenny Eatwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664664803454422811noreply@blogger.com
