    I walked past 2 women chatting on the pavement, one of them lived in the house they were next to but I'd never seen the other one.
    The one I didn't know suddenly said "don't let your dog wee there" and carried on talking.
    I was a bit taken aback especially as I wasn't sure if she was talking to me or it was part of their conversation so I looked back and she was glaring at me, I almost asked her how I was supposed to stop a dog weeing and did she have some blotting paper just in case but just carried on and I've never seen her since. Very strange.

    I once had a dog take a dump on my front garden, couldn't see an owner anywhere so I got to clean it up. Had I seen an owner who was clearly apologetic and ready to clean up I probably wouldn't have minded as much. Maybe her attitude towards you was because of previous issues?

    Whilst I was distracted changing the music on my ipod ...

    Sorry OP but people with dogs and Ipods - I personally find very, very annoying.....

    Especially when I try to shout to them to call their dog away from mine and they do not hear as they have Ipod....

    Walking the dog - concentrate on that dog.

    And aside from that, I like to chat to my pooch when i walk her, so having an ipod shoved in my ears would stop that.

    Please tell me i'm not the only person that chats to their dog?!:rotfl::eek:

    Nah you not the only one - my walk with the dog is a walk with the dog. I have 360 degrees vision and listen to whats going on around. And yes, I talk to my dog. The walk is our quality time together.

    And her on my bed belly up waiting for belly rub - among 4 cats waiting for the same....

    What do you think? (am ready for the sharp comments which cannot possibly be worse than what I have heard today) :p

    I think that I'd sneak back there under cover of darkness, without my dog and spell out "hag" with a big bottle of bleach all the way across her precious lawn.

    But then I'm a bit of a biatch with a big streak of vindictiveness.....

    Be fair, if yours peed over the garden, he's so big, the postman would be wearing wellies to get to the front door for a week.

    ...that's actually a pretty good point. Once he starts it's a bit like draining off a large domestic water tank.

    Unfortuntely...mine has a habit of peeing on whichever plant I'm currently trying to nurse in the garden. I'm trying to train him to pee on the plants I've been unsuccessfully trying to kill off....but he's not having it.
