Dog Owners
Comments

Why are cats seen as freespirits and a free to do their business wherever they choose? Usually in peoples gardens, in their vegetable patches, etc.
One rule for cats, another dogs.
Discrimination against dogs IMO.
Cats (usually) bury their own waste, or like mine, come home to have a C**P!0 -

But I don't want any cats burying poo in my garden at all, for that matter I don't even want any cats in my garden.
Perhaps if all cats had to have their owners details on them, we could catch the culprits and send the offending articles back to the owners? :rotfl:0 -
My house is 3 storey at the front, so I only really look to the pavement when I'm passing the windows. This means I keep missing the twonk who lets his animal defecate on the grass just in front of my parked caravan. (although I have an idea who it is as OH caught him once and made him clear it up lol)
After DS trod in yet another pile at the end of the drive I printed out a large notice warning that he was being filmed and If he didn't pick it up I'd start forwarding the footage to the police. I stuck it in the caravan window where it can be seen from all angles.
You'd be amazed how many sheepish dog owners I watch cross the road when they get to my house now, and I've not had a single pile for months0 -

I wouldn't carry it all the way home or have it in the car either though - it goes in the nearest bin.
Have you ever left one in the car? Whether tucked under the seat or in the glovebox? If so, how many days later did you notice? And what alerted you to its forgotten presence?0 -

I would have cleared it up myself as a responsible homeowner, and as a neighbourly gesture. The trouble is the dog-owning community now loathes you because of your hate signs and your vigilante campaign.There's often a restrictive covenant on the parking of caravans. That's where I'd be looking for revenge!0 -
There were another 5 dog owners when I walked my two the other day, I was the only one with a carrier bag full of doggydoo.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Old style MoneySaving boards.

Hmm, your psychic prowess amazes me, honestly it really does. Where in my post does it say I didn't clear it up? because obviously I saw it there at the end of my drive and happily watched my son stamp in it.
Hate signs? Vigilante campaign? Are you for real or are you just a complete tool? I have every right to expect that my children do not tread in dog faeces on my property because lazy, incompetent dog owners simply cant be arsed to bend over and pick it up. I pick up after my own dogs, and unless I had something to hide a sign wouldn't bother me. I've actually had several of the 'dog owning community who now loathe me' comment positively on the sign for the simple reason that they are getting tarred with the same brush, thanks to a handful of ignorant, lazy owners.
As for the caravan, sorry sweetie but there is no covenant so I can park it wherever I want on my own property, my caravan is legally allowed to be there, dogshit isnt.0 -
There's a motor repair garage up the road from here.. The owner has a sign affixed to his wall that reads.. "The ars*hole who lets his dog sh*t outside my premises is a f**king moron" (or choice words to that effect).
The irony is that the sign is losing him more customers than he will ever gain. I would never leave my car for repair by someone with an anti-social behavioural disorder. And he's going to regret calling me an ars*hole and a f**king moron!
To be serious though, when I see a hand-scribbled sign in a window that reads "BE WARNED! DO'NT LET DOG SHIT HEAR!!", I find myself sub-consciously crossing the road because the householder could potentially be the next Raoul Moat.0 -

Then I'd be looking to complain about the poultry you keep (in breach of your tenancy), or the sub-standard replacement windows you had fitted (in breach of the thermal performance rules of the Building Regulations).0 -

Oh darling you keep clutching at those straws desperately wont you. When you have a hubby who works in development and knows the ins and outs of planning law you tend to have a good idea of the legality of such things in a home I own.
Nice try though
Do tell me, is troll shit worse than dog shit?0
