To the woman who let her dog crap in my front garden...

[SeanHitz]

How would you like it if I came and had a crap in your front garden?

This was no accident either as I saw that you were trying to hide from view behind our hedge. When I banged on the window you still had time to stop your dog, or clear up afterwards, but no - you looked up at me and walked away.

You are pond life.

[The Minkey]

How repulsive of her. If there's a next time, go out and tell her to her face. It helps feel a bit better about it.

[uncleglen]

Please do not insult pond life SeanHitz- it is beautiful and fascinating. The kind of 'person' who does not take responsibility for their pooch's poo is beyond description- any chance of a description?

Harsh ask UncleGlen ;-)

[Huggers]

I'd have wrapped it in a snowball and thrown it back to her.

[Zebedee Tring]

If I'd been vindictive, I'd have wrestled her to the ground and required her to consume said offending article. But I'm not vindictive so I wouldn't have.

Hanging's too good for people like her. 'ere, I had that James Nesbitt in the back of my cab last week.

[davidh]

isn't this getting just a tad out of hand? not literally of course!

[Zebedee Tring]

Davidh, I was making a serious point in a lighthearted (and possibly ironic) way. I was making fun of the contrast between my wishy washy liberal persona and the more vengeful dark side that lies beneath - I am a Scorpio by the way!

In reality I am 100% behind the OP. People who allow their dogs to crap all over the place should be fined to the limit - they should also be required to meet people who have lost their sight in one or both of their eyes because of toxocariasis that they have caught from dog crap.

I don't mean to stoke any fires, but as a non pet owner I have an equal problem with cat owners who let their pets out all night to fight, hunt and poo in my garden while setting off my sensor light every 15 mins. Is this a more controversial issue to verbalise?

[KidKruger]

Close your gate.

Dogs don't recognise open gates as no-go areas.

You obviously can't rely on the dog owners, so close the gate.

[first mate]

Disgusting behaviour and yes, cat poo is also a pain but these are the things we can see and recognise.

Fox poo/urine, rat poo/urine, mouse poo/urine, squirrels, birds, snails, slugs...all carry potentially harmful, even lethal pathogens, and as for the things you can catch off other humans who touch stuff that is all around having failed to wash their hands, after urination/pooing/sneezing/coughing......

[SeanHitz]

I'm afraid my description of her wouldn't be very good - old ugly woman with a jack Russell, is about as good as I can do.

I would've gone after her, but I was up stairs and by the time I got down, put my shoes on and gone outside, she probably would've been miles away. Very annoying. Anyway, I believe in karma, and I'm sure she'll get hers.

The thing about cats is that you can't really control them, they do what they want, which is part of the attraction right? But dogs you can definitely control when and where they poo. If they do poo somewhere they shouldn't, clear it up!

[davidh]

There is a dog whop dumps outside our front gate regularly. I spotted the female owner one day and shouted at her, but she ran away. we have jack russells and I would NEVER let them do that

[Ridgley]

This happen to me yesterday as I left home for work, I told this odd looking man outside my front garden move the dog which look like a dish rag or I will, he sheepishly moved on.

[tim hill]

Sean , what window was you looking from, your front room,or your front bedroom. your stairs are not that long. i ran up and down them for weeks when i did work there, Tim

[SeanHitz]

haha piss off Timmy. I was in my PJ's. No time to get changed!

[The Minkey]

You shoulda gone after her in your PJ's Sean - give her a real scare ;-)

[tim hill]

hope you and your darling wife are fine.. it was cool to work out your name. i hope your both good . Dont shit on your own door step, xxx

[tallulah71]

spend more time running after her and less time posting about it. Enough dog shit already....

[SeanHitz]

I could say the same thing to you tallulah71. You don't have to read about it, or post about it. Just because you don't want to read about it, doesn't mean others don't want to - judging by the amount of responses, I would say some do.
